I agree. I gave up actively looking about two years ago, at age 28, due to sheer burnout and frustration. I have since concentrated on doing what I enjoy. I am 150% happier now (and still single).

I like the mantra of learning to love the life that you've been given, instead of forever mourning the life you think you should have had. We should concentrate on the parts of out lives that we can control and let go and let God with those that we can't. If a long term relationship is in the cards, it will happen. If not, at least you've lived your life and realized your own dreams and goals in the meantime.

There's a difference between "alone" & "lonely." Really, savor the day! Enjoy the gifts you receive every day! The more you stress over being "alone" the longer you'll be "alone." You see stories all the time where someone gives up & suddenly they find someone! (or they can't get pregnant, so they adopt & then they get preggers... well, actually, that's probably a bad analogy for a dating site! ha!) I think that a lot of us don't Love ourselves enough... if we love ourselves, we open up that "energy" for others to love us, too! Really, SingleDom has a lot going for it! And if nothing else, if you are destined for a long term relationship... every date that bombs is one step closer to the one you are searching for! This is the time to do ALL those things that you want to do! Travel, get a degree, write a book.... this is YOU time!!

Hi Linda,

Don't 'give up', just don't look so hard for awhile. Being single is not such a horrible thing. And if you date someone just for the sake of dating someone, you can end up more 'lonely' than if you're alone....if that makes any sense!

I think we'd all like our partner in crime, but this is prime opportunity to do things that are easier as a single person....from not shaving your legs for a week to taking up high-altitude knitting in a remote location. Well....or something!

Then when you're sitting on top of the mountain working on your 23rd pair of mittens, a really really awesome guy will walk by in need of some, and bingo!

I also have decided to take down my profile for a bit. Been down about two months now, not sure if I'll put it back up, but for now I'm learning about me again and that is just fine for now!
