I Seem Unsuited for Dating

One day, two forum posts titled “I Seem Unsuited for Dating” appeared on Promontory Forum’s Feelings board nearly at the same time. User A: 「I have a severe case of mysophobia and possessiveness. I cannot accept it if my girlfriend has had relationship experience. I went to see a psychiatrist, but I haven’t improved. I might truly be unsuited for dating.」 User B: 「I think I might be unsuited for dating. I very much enjoy the ambiguous phase of sounding out each other’s feelings, but after becoming official, if they want to hug me, or perhaps kiss me, I will immediately feel nauseous.」 Internet User: 「I beseech that the two of you be together. Don’t go and harm anyone else.」

## My Thoughts on I Seem Unsuited for Dating "I Seem Unsuited for Dating" promised a lighthearted rom-com, and for the most part, it delivered. I went in expecting a fluffy, easy read, and that's precisely what I got. While it's not the most groundbreaking story, it's a pleasant way to spend a few hours. ### First Impressions From the synopsis, I was immediately drawn to the "enemies to lovers" trope. It's a classic for a reason, and I was eager to see how the author would put their spin on it. I appreciate that the story dives right in, establishing the initial friction between the leads quickly. It didn't take long for me to get invested in their dynamic. ### What Works Well The humor is definitely a strong point. I found myself chuckling at the witty banter and relatable situations. The author does a great job of capturing the awkwardness and charm of modern dating. The food descriptions are also a plus; they made me seriously crave whatever the characters were eating! The pacing is also well-done. The story moves along at a good clip, avoiding the dreaded slow burn that can sometimes drag down romance novels. I especially enjoyed the chatroom conversations between the female lead and her friends; they felt incredibly realistic and added another layer of humor to the story. ### Areas of Concern While I enjoyed the story overall, I can see why some readers might find the female lead a bit grating. Her immaturity, particularly the running joke about being 18, could be off-putting for some. I also noticed a few readers felt that she was too easily swayed by men initially, though this seems to change as the story progresses. I personally didn't mind her character, but I understand the criticisms. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers have pointed out a potentially problematic scene where the male lead gets the female lead drunk. This scene apparently leads to non-consensual acts, and is something to be aware of before reading. ### Final Verdict Despite some flaws, "I Seem Unsuited for Dating" is a fun and engaging read. If you're looking for a lighthearted rom-com with plenty of humor and a cute central couple, this might be right up your alley. Just be aware of the potential issues with the female lead's character and the aforementioned scene. I'd recommend giving it a try, especially if you need a break from heavier, more dramatic stories.
