Is it normal to want to have a relationship regardless of its durability?

I am in my early 30s and would like to be in a relationship, romantic, real relationship. Would it be wrong of me to enter and be in a relationship even if I don't see future in it? 

The thing is, I have only ever been in one relationship (long term one) and have only ever had one sexual partner. Before I settle, I wouldn't mind gaining more relationship experience, which may (hopefully) make me appreciate Mr Right even more when he eventually does come along.

However, at the same time, I am worried that I would just settle in that relationship, as I tend to find it hard to reject people in fear of hurting them....

Have I completely lost the plot? :/

    Is it wrong to start a relationship even if you don't see a future in it? Jesus christ, seriously? You've obviously never been dumped on your ass by a guy who doesn't know what he wants, because if you knew how the fuck that feels, you would not be willing to start something with someone who might develope real feelings for you, when all you wanted was to "gain experience".

    Sorry lady, but that's extremely insensitive of you. How can you be that selfish? Don't you know what a shitty thing it is to date people just to "gain experience"? You sound like every asshole guy I've ever met, seriously.

    Just by the way, at 30, you shouldn't really be casually dating to gain experience, you should be settled down already. Howcome I'm a full decade younger than you and not only am I more than settled down with my boyfriend, but I also comprehend how shitty it is of someone to use someone else for "experience"? Some women dissapoint me.

    I would suggest you do some dating, without ulterior motives. Have some fun and don't get so wrapped up in what's leading where, but live in the moment. If you are dating a guy who is attractive to you, then take him to bed. Have fun, get experience and learn how to relate intimately with the opposite sex. An opportunity for a great relationship will come along, don't worry, but have some fun finding it. Stop making your contacts with men about finding Mr. OK, he'll do.
