What happened after you gave up… I’m done with my love life …

Well that is a shame, but I understand the pain. I mean rejection and failure is an ingrained part of dating, and nothing brings a persons anxieties and insecurities more than the dating process.

I for one always hate to close doors on things in life, I always try to keep them cracked just enough to see what might be on the other side, even if I have no intention of going through it.

In theory every experience you gain in dating and love should be used to make yourself better, smarter and wiser in order to bring yourself closer to find the right type of person. So if you give up then all that experience and knowledge gained is wasted.

I have given up on the concept of marriage myself, but I still believe in love and happiness... so I would say consider giving yourself more time, and do some serious and honest self reflection on yourself. Try to determine what if any changes you could make that would allow you to become of the best version possible of yourself. This might lead to finding better men. It made a huge difference in my dating life, and I started finding women better suited to my needs, verse me chasing women that were not in my best interest.

I I think you should reconsider and look at it in a whole different way what is life to you for me life is an experience for me I want to experience it all the good and the bad of course I would rather have good but without the bad you can't have good why do you give up on love I don't think that you have because if you give up on love that means you stopped loving things and that's impossible you stop doing things and that's impossible you stop feeling things and that's impossible you can still love without being loved back that's a good experience maybe that's what you're supposed to experience maybe that's your destiny and somewhere in time it will change but if you give up on love you give up on passion touch growing as a person so can you tell me why you give up on love

What happened was I got happier, more emotionally stable and life got easier. I have been single for 3 years, it will be 4 years this summer, and I’ve not dated since (not even talked to a guy that way) nor do I plan to ever do so again. I’m done and have no interest in men, dating or relationships anymore. I love being single and not having to deal with all the bs.

Gave up almost 8 years ago because all of my exes cheated on me and blamed me for them cheating...

I then tried dipping my toes back into the possibility of getting with someone and they ended up falsely accusing me of st, of being a potential school shooter when I don't even own any guns, and a plethora of other things as well as an ex parte personal protection order that I had to fight against her in court to have changed to a temporary civil restraining order that eventually went away after I dropped out of college and moved back home.

Love isn't worth finding if it's THIS much of a struggle. If it means a man could end up in jail/prison for merely catching feelings for a woman... As much as women claim its a man's world, it definitely is not when it comes to dating and relationships.

I had a year or so when I dated 6 or 7 different girls. All these relationships were bad. I got sick of the deceit and the games. I really cared for a couple of these girls and they still treated me badly. I went to a concert with a girl and afterwards I decided I was done with her. I went out of state the next day with a friend and we weree going to go fishing and drink beer for the whole weekend. I decided that I was going to give up on dating for a while, maybe forever. The very next day I met my future wife.

It's hard the first few years damn hard. It's not your fault or mine it's society. It's not what it was when we were growing up. Or maybe it always was this way. Love is dead. Sex and money are what's taken it's place. It's not that we didn't deserve love we did it's just the world's become empty. Find friends only with your gender it makes it easier. Stay away from bars. Try meetup groups and don't start drinking or doing drugs. Find people with similar interests. That will make you feel better.

I have been single for 5 year. I have done almost everything to make her happy but she never respect my feelings and broke with me. I have sacrifice so many things for her. But reliezed that she had never worth of my any effort. And now I'm afraid to love any girl again.

Grubhub · Answer

I did a long time ago. Some people are good with it and most are not. I can’t imagine how it feels to date hundreds of girls. Banging women, I didn’t give up on that but finding love is a tall order for the history of my life. I almost found love a few years ago but I messed that up. I could find love but the girl who I screwed up on is a woman who I truly want as a wife. 😔

Gave up long ago. I just live life improving myself and nothing more. Does it hurt not dating anyone in my 30 years of existence? Yes, but I learned to live with and accept that in life, you win some and lose some.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

I've practically given up on it, after being alone for over 20 years, and none of the 3 that I had being REAL love relationships. It looks like I'm not ever gonna find any!!

Guy__ · Answer

If you gave up on relationships you still love yourself enough to write this. So it's impossible to give up on love.

GingerGuy · Answer

Yes long ago. And nothing has happened lol. I haven't "given up" in that it's not still possible. But given up "searching". If it happens to come it comes.

poneglyphs · Answer

Never gave up on dating because I never dated anyone so I don't think it applies to me 🤔

Same thing that happened before I gave up - nothing. That is why I gave up.
