Take a break from dating. Make friends, focus on your career, see the world, live a little.

There will be plenty of men when you get back.

cause you'll miss your chance and the next person will be enjoying what you cherish so dearly....

"The right one" often pops in unexpectedly. A friend of mine is in your situation but she's grateful to at least have the strength to back away from bad choices. She may meet the right one, she may not. But she's still happy, has her friends, and is quite busy. And she's 70 years old!!!

Because unless you will accept someone who may not love you, but just want you for sex, your bed will be lonely either way. Whether you give up on it, or hold out for it. At least by holding out for it, it implies a sense of hope. Also, it helps you keep you honor intact.
that makes so much sense to me! thanx

You just need to try on people to see how they fit for YOU. I think you will keep your heart open and thus could be prone to heartache. Remember You are special and all of your special qualities should only be spent on someone who DESERVES them. Hey I was 28 when I found my love...............
thanx for the advice it means alot

Sounds like you keep meeting the same type of guys. Something tells me they are letting you down easy. If they really liked you enough, you'd be a part of their plans, regardless of goals, career, or other excuses. Truth is they just weren't into enough to make room for you in their lives.

We were all perfect at 23. We knew everything. We were awesome. Everyone else was wrong. Sometimes it feels good to age gracefully and I'm glad I did do so.
