I like to consider myself a fixture on the Relationships forum and I like to think I've added a lot of good threads but what I want to say today is, don't give up or get frustrated with your dating/relationship situations.
Here's what I mean........I know many of you may feel awkward approaching women or men or you may be on a dating website and the quality of the people have been disappointing to put it lightly but realize this, the world has a lot of people and a dating site does not even scrape the surface of what is actually available in terms of dating candidates.
I know dating and pursuing a relationship can be a daunting task, as much as I like to date and it's easy for me, It even takes it's toll on Ronnie Boy.
Keep at it and keep "knocking" on doors. Someone will respond and they'll be the person for you.
Don't worry about if you don't have a car, the perfect job, lots of extra cash,etc.....all those things can be acquired.
Even if you're a loner, nerdy, fat,skinny etc.....those are the things that make you special and someone is in fact looking for someone just like you.
So hang in there and keep fighting the good fight.

I disagree. I think, after reading many posts here (responses in the one about just being asked out by a girl is an interesting one ) there are people who should give up....throw in the towel....become a hermit...a recluse.... join a monastery.... Thanks to the above mentioned responses, the "I'm-On-CD-Wondering-Why-I-Can't-Get-A-Date" syndrome has been officially demystified. So, yes, don't be discouraged some of you; feel free to give up. It might make things a little dull around here, but we'll get by. Somehow.

Agreed.
Sometimes, it's not even through a dating site or friends' introductions. Things you are interested in tend to bring people together.
Last week's date told me I looked prettier in my picture (which was a FIRST as I am not that photogenic). And after what I thought was a nice dinner, I never heard from him again.
This week's date told me I was too old -- he was expecting someone younger. This coming from a grey headed, grey beard, working on a beer belly almost 50 year old, who had posted a nice picture of himself -- when he was 41 !!!
BTW, both men got the same picture.
At first it kinda hurt my feelings a little -- now I just laugh.
I agree. There's certainly a lack of patience with a lot of people. Rushing won't help you find true love faster. If that was the case, it would be much easier to to get it.

I think there is also something to be said for taking a break from dating/relationships in some situations. Like if you are just so concentrated on other things (like me with working and education) or you just got out of a long relationship or a rotten one, waiting to regroup and get to a level where you can handle a SO well is a good idea.

LOL They were just not meant to be. The 2nd guy sounds like a total jerk anyways.
I know it wasn't funny when these things happened to you, but thanks for sharing.
