"I won't talk to that woman because I am not interested in her.", "I won't talk to that woman because surely she won't be interested in me." - just talk to them, darn it, initiate. You are a male, it is your job to interrupt females.
Heck YEAH!!

I have just given up because I am just sick of being taken for granted.

Now all I want to do is finish school, live my life even if alone and travel. Screw everything else.

Even the whole "getting to know a new person" part of the game is very exciting. Not to mention not having sex and going to bed every night by yourself, you guys must be NUTS!
This sounds like the other extreme of the issue. My brother moves from one woman to the next, claims he doesnt like to be alone and never is, no matter what. It's not healthy either, imo...

I'm going to try and start up a business here soon...along with still having a full time job. I don't think I've given up, but I won't have time for it this summer.

Recently I have decided to absolutely give up on dating. No more games, no more going out to get to know each other, I'm just fed up.

I'll still need sex but that I can pay for. There a lot of places I would like to travel to, a lot of all night parties to enjoy, without a woman nagging at me all the time.

I think I'm the opposite of you. My will is pretty good so I can hold out on the sex. At least until some woman gets too persuasive.

But summer is coming up and I want a woman for some trips and boat time. We should go halves on a girlfriend or something.

Honest to God, I don't understand how some find this exciting! Having to tell your life story over and over again to dozens of people just ain't my idea of fun!

I meant, I'll still get women when I go out but no strings attached. If they want to join me at my house, excellent. If not, then I can enjoy myself and my place without anyone giving me instructions (I already have my mum trying to do that sometimes).
