Just Because
Have you ever gone out with someone (boyfriend/girlfriend wise) just for the hell of it? I know a lot of people who simply go out with people even though they don't like them; they just like the idea of being liked.
Is this common?
It seems so weird and pointless to me.
Thanks.

It is very common. A lot of people when they are younger get into relationships just for "the hell of it" Think about it: when you're in a relationship with someone, their attention is focused on you. People like the idea of being someone's and having someone. It's sad that some people are so insecure that they can only get some self-confidence by being in a relationship with someone. Of course though, it's much worse for the person on the receiving end that someone is only going out with them for the attention they give them!
A similar thing is when people find out someone has a crush on them and they don't like them back. Now of course, the natural and correct thing to do would be to tell them you're not interested. However it's very common for people to let this person think they are or might be interested so they'll keep liking them, because they like the idea of being liked and they like the attention they receive off the person.
Either way, someone gets hurt eventually. It's much more rewarding and meaningful to be in a relationship with someone you truly care about, and who cares about you.

yes it is very common and also very pointless
when your younger alot of kids think that they HAVE to have a boyfriend/girlfriend so they have someone who cares about them and makes them feel important so they date the first person who comes along
and in having this meaningless relationship with someone they really dont care about they dont get what they actually wanted which kinda creates a cycle
but over time we realise its not just about having a boyfriend/girlfriend but having one that you really care about and who cares about you

This is common in younger, less mature people. As you get older and develope a better sense of maturity, you realize that a relationship isn't just about having someone that likes you. It's about trust, honesty and communication. I suppose younger people do this because dating and relationships is new and exciting to them.

yes it is commom. some people feel they are ugly and stuff and when someone says they like them they just like the feeling of being liked. I find its a total waste of time. whats the point of being with someone your not attracted to. If you want to feel loved find friends who care for you. Being liked doesnt nessecarily have to be in a relationship it.
hope i helped =]
