Yep, I have given up. But I have found a certain kind of freedom I wasn't expecting in giving up. :smile:

:heart: Have you given up on trying to "find someone" because of the amount of times you were rejected and you feel that it'll never work out or that you won't find someone?:heart:

Yep, I have given up long time ago... not because I was rejected... just because I have too much on my plate (responsibilities and commitments). I realized I can only do one at a time and what is best for me and my children and my life in general. But, I will revisit my "Finding someone" someday...:banana: :banana:

I have just come to the bitter conclusion that no one will make my life happier only me.

I gave up on finding anyone, the only reason why I am here is to ( hopefuly) make at least 1 person laugh a day. If I can't be happy, might as well make my fellow man then at least.

But I think I might reject more than I'm rejected... which isn't so bad but after a while makes me feel overly picky.

I'm exactly the same way...Which makes me very selective...which I don't feel is a bad thing...but is it a good thing?..sheesh who knows..noway

At my age it feels like the clock is ticking away faster and louder than ever before. I don't want to be forward with some of these gentlemen who have put themselves out there but why mince words? I have written to some and suggested it would be nice to meet for coffee sometime. No answer. There have been several who made the first step in writing to me and I responded only to never hear from them again. This is the part I don't get. Or they live 2,000 miles from me. Now, what kind of relationship would we have? I'm old-school and can't feel my heart go pitter-patter over the phone! I'm not necessarily looking to get married or even live with someone. I don't want to buy a car together or see him change his will for me. I would simply like to know a guy who would like to go dancing now & then or go see a movie and maybe hold hands and do some wonderful kissing, etc. Damn!

I have to say, Romee, that eventhough I'm a lot older than you, if I ever could get to Alabaster, Alabama I would chase you around mercilessly. So stand forewarned.flowerforyou blushing

I haven't given up...just taking a break. Sometimes you need to take time to work on yourself - allow healing of past hurts, re-focus and maybe redefine - and pursue your passions. In the middle of all that, you never can tell, you may look up and there they are.

I've had 5 fails. And all were in a way my own doing. So do I give up being me in order to succeed at being happily with a partner? Or do I look to continue being me, making mistakes and losing patience with luck (ie, the absence of it?)

:heart: Have you given up on trying to "find someone" because of the amount of times you were rejected and you feel that it'll never work out or that you won't find someone?:heart:


No. I've given up because there isn't anyone who interests me and I can't find anyone who can hold my attention for more than 3 months.

Being alone isn't ideal, but being with someone who bores the bejeebers out of me is worse.


:thumbsup:


The only thing worse than being alone---is wishing you were!!!! Open to the right one, but not just anyone!

I gave up a LONG time ago. But not because of being rejected.
