My co-workers have been talking about dating and that they are dating. They asked me if I am dating and I said no, now they are wondering why I'm not dating. I told them I havent had time to date anyone. Instead of saying that I havent been looking for anyone.

I am 24. I have never dated anyone. I have been single my entire life. I did chase girls when I was younger but gave up and just decided to have fun on my own. Now my thinking is kinda while doing what I like if I find a girl and we kick it off thats great otherwise it doesnt matter since I'm having fun.

But now they have been talking about it and were like you should go date someone, and a co-worker sugested setting up a goal of going on 6-12 dates in a year. I dont really have any interest in doing this honestly. I'm mostly shrugging it off or going sure sure, like whatever.

However I'm nervois that they will keep checking all the time like how the dating goes. Now honestly I dont have much against dating I just dont feel like spending much time looking or much money going on dates.

Rule nr 1 of MGTOW dont talk about MGTOW, but idk how to go about saying I dont have interest. I dont wanna say I dont have time since then they will start wondering what is keeping me so busy.

Anyone got any tips?

Should I jist say I dont feel like chasing girls? I'd like to not lie though if possible.
