I never give up on anything lmao but dating at times can be a cruel period and I am currently in that period hopefully in the future I’ll get out of it and fine someone that’s worth it but as for now🤷🏻♂️
No, not at all. Dating and relationships take a lot of time to figure things out. Just because a series of dates or a relationship doesn’t work out doesn’t warrant an “I quit - that’ll show them” response. Seems like a cop-out to me. Live and learn.

Haven’t given up completely but sometimes dating gets discouraging. Getting dates or even flings wasn’t an issue, but keeping anything long term or sealing the deal.
I’ve always found that the ones I’m into don’t want me, at least not long term or the ones who do want me I’m not into. I also refuse to settle because that does NOT make you happier.
What’s really frustrating is that I get a lot of dates only to get ghosted. It’s like how can I improve myself or know what I’m doing wrong if I never get feedback?
And I say this without the whole “I’m nice”, “all women are bitches” or “I bought them drinks, dinner, etc so I’m owed this”. It just feels like I can never do anything right sometimes.
no, I'm currently not dating due to staying with my mum as I went back to school a few years ago. Not to sound conceited but i do get attention from women, Either from women I don't find attractive, or women I do find attractive but don't approach because I think they wouldn't want me, if that makes sense?
I have never been in a relationship or on a date. At this point, I don't even want to try. I can't see myself as a father or a husband. Plus, the whole #metoo and feminism these days, I am now a MGTOW. I believe I will be happier this way. And to tell you the truth, I am happier this way. The only downside is that I have upset my parents and grandparents. They want to see me get married and have kids someday. But they just don't understand what all that is like in the 21st century.
@Lady_Frost No, MGTOW don't hate women. We just don't bother dealing with them. We focus on ourselves instead of following what society expects from us.
When you're moving on it can feel like he/she was the best thing ever happened. But over time, you'll realize there are far more better compatible soulmates out there. So I don't ever give up on dating.
You never know when you meet that one person you'll settle with for life.
No, I am in a relationship but if my boyfriend and I were to break up then I think I would just remain single and focus on myself. Anxiety and not being that great at conversation wouldn't work in my favor of dating, plus I'm not the most attractive women out there so most dudes wouldn't be checking for me anyway.
Not actively looking but not in any of those categories. Open to whichever wonderful people life sends my way whenever they are sent my way. Just focussing on building for the future. 😊
Giving up is kind of a strong word, for me it's kind of: never started... I didn't see the point of it. You go to school, get a job, wait for retirement and die afterwards. Knowing that No one will remember me, it sounds suicidal but it's not. It's how I see life, so being in a relationship would be pointless
Yes pretty much so. It is just not worth the risk or the effort required. I still open to being with someone but she would have to be amazing for me to even consider it.

Literally I’m just done with people in general 😂😂😂😂
I took a break and then bam, this guy just waltzed into my happy single life when I least expected it. I'm falling for him.
Have I given up? No. That implies that I was already an advocate for relationships. And honestly, I’ve never cared too much for them.

Since you're a MGTOW: Do you hate women?
@Lady_Frost No, MGTOW don't hate women. We just don't bother dealing with them. We focus on ourselves instead of following what society expects from us.
It is good to see not all MGTOW being women haters just like not all feminists being men haters.

@arasuking What? I don't have whatsapp
Dating is good for the people who have hope. Usually the hope is gone if you can't even get a date

Same
No. That whole MGTOW is such a hissy fit. I get there are problems, but that is the most drama queen like "solution" ever.
Finally, a man who makes sense
@Ellie-V It's like comets, it happens now and then lol.
Lol no, I mean I love being single but I also love when I really like someone and have a relationship with them.

Not yet but. j have my bad relationship in past. not letting any more bad guys in life. it only good guys. I have my current boyfriend for now.
Yes pretty much so. It is just not worth the risk or the effort required. I still open to being with someone but she would have to be amazing for me to even consider it.
Dating the love of my life, going to marry her. Good things happen.
Give up? Hell no lol. Dating is actually pretty fun.
Yes I am contemplating giving up and adopting a baby when I'm settled down.
That's a shame. You're obviously intelligent and educated. you're only 22. You have plenty of time and a lot to offer
@jdrrichmond thank you but there are a lot more to the whole thing...
You're pretty, too. I know you've had medical issues, but that won't stop someone who likes you.
What else could be the issue?
@jdrrichmond medical and some other issues is the main reason.
I know it stop anyone who likes me, but why would he like me in first place when he is getting a better option?
If he isn't shallow, he'll realize you are the better option. You have a lot to offer with that brain of yours.
@jdrrichmond awww I'm just alright but thank you :)
Maybe you have me fooled, but I've always been impressed.
