If Avoiding Meetings During Dating with Remarriage Intent... Divorced Man Says "Are You Playing Hard to Get?"

Refusing Dates Using 'Children' as an Excuse Leads to Considering Remarriage

What thoughts arise when someone you are dating with the intention of remarriage only contacts you via phone calls and texts and avoids face-to-face dates? For men, the thought is often "Are they just keeping me on the hook?" while women tend to wonder "Are they just testing the waters?"

This is the result of a survey conducted jointly by Only-U, a remarriage-specialized matchmaking company, and Vienarae, a marriage information company, from the 25th of last month to the 3rd of this month. The survey targeted 512 divorced men and women nationwide who hope to remarry (256 men and 256 women each).

When asked, "What do you think if the person you are dating with the intention of remarriage only contacts you by phone or text and avoids meeting in person?" 32.0% of male respondents answered "Are they just keeping me on the hook?" and 38.3% of female respondents answered "Are they just testing the waters?"

Following that, men answered "Are they stingy with dating expenses? (23.1%)" and "Are they dating multiple people at once? (16.8%)" among others. Women responded with "Are they stingy with dating expenses? (27.3%)", "Are they dating multiple people at once? (20.7%)", and "Are they just keeping me on the hook? (13.7%)" in that order.

Also, when asked, "If the person you are dating with the intention of remarriage keeps refusing date requests with various excuses, would you reconsider remarriage?" both men and women chose "children (men 28.1% · women 30.5%)". For men, the next reasons were "parents (23.1%)", "work (16.8%)", and "health (15.2%)", while women answered "hobbies (22.3%)", "parents (16.2%)", and "work (14.5%)" in that order.

When asked, "During dating with the intention of remarriage, when do the partner’s shortcomings become most apparent?" both men and women ranked "meals (men 29.3% · women 35.2%)" and "explaining reasons for divorce (men 33.2% · women 30.1%)" as first and second. For the third place, men chose "hobbies (17.1%)" and women chose "driving (15.2%)".

An official from Only-U stated, "People hoping to remarry pay much more attention to various factors when choosing a remarriage partner compared to their first marriage. When seriously considering remarriage, increasing focus on the partner and building trust is essential to reach the final goal of remarriage."
