I was in the same boat for a long time. My last real long term relationship ended almost 3 years ago. After that I dated guys that wanted something casual when I wanted something serious. I did this multiple times. It was unnecessary stress.
Up until now, I hadn't had a date in almost a year. But I also didn't care. I just went on with my life and enjoyed being single. And suddenly this great guy showed up in my life.
My secret? I stopped looking.
I figure at 23, I have my whole life to be married/in a serious relationship. Why spend my single years tied down? It's not me anymore. I may be dating now, but whether or not anything serious comes out of it, I'm not pushing now.
