Have you ever given up on love?

Question

236color · Accepted Answer

Given up? Sort of, but not really. At one point I became, discouraged to the point that I stopped hoping for anything specific. I prayed an unusual but very heartfelt prayer. "I don't know what I need, but I need it really bad". Not too long after that I began a relationship with the woman that would become my wife. Was my prayer responsible? I don't know. One very serious piece of advice, stop wasting time on people that aren't interested. If they're not interested, neither are you. Don't spend time daydreaming about them, it gets you nowhere and only makes you feel more lonely.

Yes. I was a nervous teen, had a mental block on the physical intimacy in particular. Thus carried forward for years, and it was probably in my mid twenties that I just gave up. Fast forward a decade, I hit a low point and ended up having therapy. This helped me to start a process of self discovery and into a relationship. It didn't last long, for a few reasons, but I moved on and now am engaged with 2 kids.
Don't give up. You can find it out there, given effort and time

Nah.

If anything the older and more experienced I get the more I feel certain I'll find love someday that's beautiful. And I'm in no rush to find it.

I only learned recently how much more I prefer women to men. It's like I'm realizing a whole new facet of love, and it's really fun.

Every relationship I've had has been better than the last.

Yep! I'm 69 years young and I have finally given up on love. Love has just caused me heartache and trouble my whole life. Been there, done that! It's not worth it!

Yes, a few times. Giving up on love is similar to quitting cigarettes. You always go back.  That’s why I never started smoking

atp i figure that if i haven’t found it yet then it’s just not gonna happen. I’m 26 now and most of the women my age are already in relationships/getting married now. And I’m tired of feeling like a cornball after each rejection. i just wish that i would have someone special in my life but i guess that it’s not meant to happen for me

I am 47 and I gave up years ago.  No dating , no flirting, no "talking phase" , no asking for phone numbers , no making eyes, no nothing.   Cupid can go fuck off and choke on his little bow.

What's somebody under 18 doing asking this? Lmao.. But no I haven't despite not having much fortune in the romance department.. I'm still young with a lot of life left..

Billlewis · Answer

No, but I've definitely given up on having sex with an attractive woman, and it's worked out very well for me.

SolitarySolace · Answer

Yes. Almost 9 years ago. After all of my exes cheated on me and everyone I’ve told that to told me that I’m the problem because of my choice in women. That’s when I gave up on love. Why bother?

No, never have. That is only for the weak and insecure.

I'd thought about it. I decided not to though.

ChicoFromThe305 · Answer

Yea there's moments where I give up on it mentally but I always grow hope again, if I give up it only assures that I'm going to fail at love.

Unit1 · Answer

yeah, like i haven't found love still and i don't think this will suddenly change anytime soon. It is what it is.

Oh yes took a long break from 22 to 26 because of bad relationship I had that made me loose all hope of happiness

I am 29 and never had a real girlfriend. It is a defeating feeling, but I feel it may not ever happen for me.
