Does it count as giving up if you never tried in the first place?

I wouldn't say give up, just change your game play. I know the reason I am single is because I expect something to happen before it does. I go to a bar, I expect it, a school I expect it, out with friends I expect it. All my g.fs have come when I didn't expect it but to turn that off or give up is extremely hard to do.

Oh I've known plenty of non-aholes, I just haven't met a single one in years.

I gave up a long time ago....

really didn't date from about 1998- 2012, just because I never found someone worth spending money for a babysitter.

My kid is all grown up now, and and I'm back out there dating now, and wow have things changed. I don't see myself ever "giving up" again, just because I have more patience and there are still a ****load of guys out there looking for a nice girl (which I am).

That's the positive spirit you need to have. You will have bad dates, because that happens to everyone. You just have to take the bad with the good. You're taking a chance at finding love and that doesn't come by not taking any risk.

see... you thought you could just put that out there and no one would call you on it... what ever do you mean by a comment like that? There isn't any part of this country left where HALF of the people there aren't from somewhere else. So, if you should ever leave where you is... don't expect your luck to change... IOW, if that's really what's holding you back... get over it... or not...

50 cats? More than 20 is considered criminal cruelty to animals in just about every state in the U.S. Be careful what you admit to online. THEY are watching. THEY are listening...

I haven't given up I'm just on sabbatical. My career and location are going to change in the next few months after which I will once again start paying attention to, and caring about whether or not a women is or is not interested.
