It's sad that so many people actually feel like they need to give up.

I purposefully stay away from Walmart if I can help it. Last time I went there, some mean old lady ran into me with her cart, then yelled at me to get out of her way.

..but of course none of these people actually given up and we all know it. They know it too. It's just a depro-discussion, because we want to know how others gonna react. Come on, admit it!

I wouldn't say that I "gave up".
I'd say that I had to make a decision to quit and save my sanity. That was about 20 years ago.

Sshshs I threw in the towel a long time ago....But does not mean that I'm not open to the idea of a relationship if it was to happen.........bigsmile

It is much easier this way I do what I want to when I want to and don't wait around till I find someone to do things with...I live my life and actually enjoy being alone....:thumbsup:


Well I do agree that it is much easier and like you I don't wait around to find someone to do things with. Life is too short for that.

It can be frustrating, very much so. It may take a long time, far longer than we'd like it to. We may have to weed out many "bad apples" till one tree is bare and move on to another.

BUT............NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!

I've dealt with many a heartache and heartbreak in my life. Some of the things I've been thru would make alot of people just say forget it I'm done. I haven't, nor will I ever. To give up is not me, giving up does not exist in my vocabulary. It is too easy to give up when times are tough, by not giving up during those times shows the measure of your inner strength.




But one person's "giving up" is another's "facing reality." I don't think it's fair to phrase someone's decision in terms of failure when they're just doing what seems logical and sensible to them.




I agree with what you say that you are indeed being realistic and I disagree with the comment that it shows the measure of your inner strength. Real strength comes within you and it takes strength to face reality and to deal with it instead of dreaming that someone will come along and sweep you off your feet. I know that at my age; I am quite realistic that I am not going to meet anyone; nor do I have the desire to. Does this depress me? Certainly not. I don't believe having someone in my life will complete me as that is a journey I must take alone. I have never subscribed to the belief that there is someone for everyone. I believe some of us were meant to be alone. This however doesn't mean we can't enjoy life or live it to the fullest. As for love we can still share love with others such as friends, family, or pets.

Excuse moi, pardon, did you say never?
So young, and you've already lost hope
Ah, this is America, the place to find the hope
If you give up now, you will never find you family
So never say never, say

Never say never
What ever you do
Never say never, my friend

It's when you're walking on that path when someone happens along who is heading the same direction.

You don't have to ask. It just happens and you know it without question.

So, I have thrown in the towel as far as dating and relationships. I am not angry or sad as I just don't care. So I am curious if you have given up on finding someone or are you still keeping your dream alive of finding your soulmate. Enquiring minds want to know. :smile:


(Man sniffs the towel:) Is it you? Can I keep it? (Man buries his face in towel again.) By jingo, this is better than most bicycle seats.

Is Canada in America? In one sense, like Ohio or San Francisco, no, in another sense, like Guatemala or Venezuella, yes.

Who were you directing your comment to? Or was this just a general comment?

Heavens yes.

I used to have this awesome profile on another site. It got at least three e-mails every week from all sorts of women. One even IMed me!

I deleted the profile in frustration because I thought I could do better. I could not.

Since then, I just don't think online dating works. And since I'm a home body, I'm not going to find anyone.

They say, "Just live life and the right person will find you" Yeah right. Unless a virus or a bacteria are my soul mate they have not found me.

Bottom line? Online dating does not work. UNLESS A. you are an extremely good looking Woman. Then the guys will come to you.

B. You are really good at writing profiles.

No I no longer try. The only thing I miss from dating is the sex. :tongue:

True and I have not per-say given up I just don't make it my goal everyday... Instead I live my life and if it was to happen I find someone along the way I'm open minded to let them in as well....

I see so many that they spend there days searching for another and forget to live their lives today. whoa slaphead

It's the greatest feeling we are capable of getting! Yeah, it hurts when it's over, but hearts heal, when you let them flowerforyou I absolutely refuse to let my past hurts rob me from being able to love again.
