Oh wow! You are actually lucky. There are lots of ups and downs to deal with in a relationship.
I don't miss the heartache at all.
I agree with, Rae Rae.
The few times I liked someone I certainly loved the happiness it made me feel, but I always CRASH....very hard. Even if the experience isn't FULLY official. The feelings I felt were still very real. It takes so long to get over it for me. Heartache sucks, though I suppose it is a "small" price to pay.

Define "small" because just putting investment in the wrong person, even just before they crap out on you, they will entice you before pulling the disappearing act.

Depends on how you look at it. I do have more freedoms as a single person. On the other hand, I had some jealousy this week. One person posted about their engagement on Facebook. I should have congratulatedsaid person. Instead, I felt a sense of sadness and jealousy. Another post was about a couple being together for over a decade. I was happy for them, hut I was left wishing I had somebody.
Most of the time, I don't think about things like this. It is seeing other happy couples, seeing some guy getting affection, that is when the jealousy comes in.

Good and trustworthy people are all over, but it's hard to run into them sometimes because so many are not playing the dating game, or even actively looking.

And decent, trustworthy people also get sought after, and become wives and husbands.
I'm 30 today, and I notice that the amount of single women my age has dwindled. Many that are single have issues such as lack of trustworthiness, and other problems I have mentioned.
No we don't have a shortage of good and trustworthy people. They are all over the place.
Mmmmm.....maybe.

You can't get someone unless you try.

That can take a LONG time to get over.

I've heavily considered giving up on dating entirely. I'm hitting 25 in 2 months, still haven't got much of a first kiss or laid.
Back when I was 21, I didn't think much of it. I thought it would soon come to pass, and wasn't all that important. Now that I've been rejected once for it I'm getting a little more self conscious about it.
The reason why I won't go through with it, is because the last time I gave up, it lasted around 3 months and then (some users here will know) I met she-who-won't-be-named. She wound up leading me on for the next year, banging a bunch of guys and leaving me high and dry.
Between her and the girl after her I've been having a dry spell that's lasted well in excess of a year now.
