Frankly, in my experience, dating (both meeting people and a relationship) costs so much time, effort, and money; yet provides little, if any, improvement in my life. The thought alone is exhausting. I currently prefer to spend my time on myself and my relationships with friends/family. This is less burdensome and much more rewarding. It may change in the future, but my last LTR ended over 5 years ago, I’ve been happily single since, and I’m coming up on 40, so that’s unlikely.
