How has giving up on romantic relationships changed your life?

Well i'm still not in a relationship, but I would never ever give up. Or even think that way , because that's just not me


I believe what I want in a relationship that I can go out and get one and right now I'm content. I'm happy

And even though I would love to have one right now, I also know that nothing would work because\nI'm not ready

But it would be nice to meet somebody and start communicating. I don't care if it's in person or long distance

I believe , if you give up on something on anything you're giving up on yourself and depending on how you look at it , that's where you could be at this moment

And that just means that you're missing something from your life.\nAnd you kind of holding yourself back

Because what you feel is what you project

It's like having that frequency

And when you have that you kind of walk around like pig pen on charlie brown , how he projects himself , except for you , probably smell better , l o l just kidding ,

For me, II don't give up on anything at all ever, because I know I'm way better than that. And I know when I want to do something I can do it dishes at this moment. In time, I'm learning about anything and everything, and I need this moment to myself to get to where I want to go. Even though I miss being in a relationship , really , really bad l

But\nSometimes you have to be selfish and do things for yourself and understand why you're doing them

I know as well as you no, you can get a guy when you want a guy. You just have to be patient to get the right guy, though.\n But it will happen\n So don't ever give up

I could never give up on such things
What’s the point of even waking up in the morning otherwise


But I did take a long break last year
It was needed
Allowed me to break old habits and make different choices


Unfortunately not always better ones


Still it’s a journey and unless we walk it we’ll never reach its end

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

My life is awesome. I’m making progress on things that matter to me, my friendships are better than ever, my relationship with my family is beyond stellar. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.

Why would anyone want to give up the best feeling they can experience?

I know some people are backward, but that is just weird.

[MrChinaski]

+1, this.

My aim on GAG is to decode love, red flags, and all the messy in‑betweens for you.

When people give up on romantic relationships, it usually brings short-term peace and control. Less drama, no ghosting, no heartbreak. But long-term, it can turn into emotional numbness, isolation, and overprotective walls. You avoid pain, but you also block potential real love, intimacy, and growth. Balance is key, not total shutdown.

I didn’t give up , but I am in no rush to be in another , But I am dating and exploring what’s out there , because I will not go through what my ex put me through again

[OlderAndWiser]

I haven't given up. There is no reward for being a quitter.

[love_conquers_lust]

I haven't. In fact, the longer I stay single, the more I romance women around me. As I've aged, it's only gotten worse. But at least the women around me seem to enjoy it, no complaints so far. I hear "How are you still single?" often.

[queenofcardio]

I'm not chasing it but I haven't given up.

I'm still also focusing on my personal goals and finalizing my traveling plans.

[888theGreat]

The reason so many relationships don't work are because the two people are just not right for each other. Guys want a model in looks and women go for a guy they feel sorry for or one they think they can change.

I was able to let it go, move on. Go away to have a vacation and meet my future wife.

[loveslongnails]

I didn't give up on them, rather I got into one 12 years that's still going on.

[Anonymous]

People don't understand my humor and think I am crazy.

[Likes2drive]

I have an exactly given up, but it’s definitely less stressful and and less costly

[AgentG111]

Less issues less problems less stolen items.

Life's short live it up!

[zagor]

Not much different; just wasting time on other things now. And spending money only on myself.

[NathanDavis]

I never had to

[CuriousMufuxka]

I never gave up, they just moved on..

[guesswhereivebeen]
