If you feel like giving up take a breather for a while to recharge the batteries and then return to the game (any other cliche saying will do just as well). | |

| when should we give up hope? Posted: 11/23/2005 5:19:40 PM | to tarheelman: I don't understand your last comment, and if you hate women so much I wonder why you're even on a dating site to begin with?
It really doesn't matter, I probably sound pretty harsh towards you so I apologize for that, you're totally entitled to your opinion and how you want to live your life so if you're happy with the way things are in your current state more power to you. It's really not up to me to judge, and so I'm not saying another word. I will offer some constructive criticism/advice/whatever, you may want to just try being yourself and not put up such a front, in the end it's always better that way. I see and hear people all the time saying "I don't need a man/woman...." whatever, all that ends up being is their way of dealing with being alone etc and if that works then great, but there's probably better ways of dealing with stuff. I honestly refuse to believe there is one single person on this earth who wouldn't change their mind in an instant if the right person came along, and I seriously doubt you're the exception to that. Good luck with everything and that's all for me, I'm not saying anything more. | |

| when should we give up hope? Posted: 11/24/2005 2:42:27 PM | | first of all THANK YOU ALL for your words and your support, everyone seems to be sayingthe same thing " take some time, relax be alone a while" however true those words are i have taken time i have relaxed ive been single now for a year and a hafe yes ive had dates ( they all end terrible) but the question is still the same at what point do you throw in the towel at what point do you just have enough of lies and deciet and fake shallow people? another problem because you are all so willing totry and help is i seem to be a poor judge of people how can you tell a lier from an honest person? | |

| when should we give up hope? Posted: 11/24/2005 3:34:38 PM | | You just have to keep getting back in the game. I dated a great girl for 2 years and then 3 months ago she just ended it. I lost sleep almost lost my job and I am still not over her, so now I have a plan...I am going to the gym more and am going to make an effort to eat better and just look as good as I can. Even tell yourself at night things will get better!!! | |
|
| when should we give up hope? Posted: 11/24/2005 3:41:45 PM | NEVER GIVE UP!!! I almost gave up and then just went for it and pursued a man I thought would make a great mate and I couldn't be happier!!!
Go get what you want and don't wait for it to come to you!!
Good Luck!!!!!!!!!! | |

When is enough enough? after how many heartbreaks can you really say "I'm done"? can a person really be happy spending life alone? and how do you learn to trust and belive aging afterwrads?
That's a very personal question that you will have to find the answer to yourself. I could sit here and give you some dime store psychology or blow smoke up your *ss to make you feel better about your situation, but I won't because I am not an insincere person. I wish I could help you but that is up to you. You are only going to fix yourself if you embark on a journey of introspection and deep soul searching. You have to be happy with yourself before anyone else will. No relationship is going to have the ability to fix you or fill that void you feel. You have got to work on that before you going looking for someone that is going to spend the rest of their life with you. | |

| when should we give up hope? Posted: 11/27/2005 9:45:53 AM | | its all in time.... enough is enough when you stop trying so hard the right person will come along some day...just be you and not that other person...u have to put your feelings a side and say " ok i'm not going to get hurt this time so i'm not falling yet ".....if you give them trust then they should have no reason not to give it back to you | |

| when should we give up hope? Posted: 11/28/2005 6:03:20 PM | Hope died a few years ago. (God, I miss Bob)
When should we give up hope? Well, I'm a bit tapped out on hope.
Hope.
It's nice to have dreams and something to look forward to, but I am facing another holiday season of watching other people and their families celebrate.
Well, I could always run this depression off, or eat better....

When you stop being a romantic, when you don't long for a warm glance from across the room or a crazy date for pancakes at midnight.....when you have no pulse, no feelings, then you might consider it. Be well, Romantic Woman, Tom | |

| when should we give up hope? Posted: 12/17/2005 4:53:46 AM | I give up hope when you break my heart too many times I give up hope when there's no reasons for me to stay. I give up hope when there's no love left in your eyes. I give up hope when I find myself cry at night. I give up hope when there's no more 'us' but just you or me. I give up hope when you cheats and lies. I give up hope when there's no more " I love You" just the cold "good byes" I give up hope when there's nothing left for me to feel I give up hope when a lonely life seems more appealing then a loveless life. I give up hope because there's no more hope for you and me. I give up hope because my tears have dried. I give up hope cause you're an idiot and why the heck did I cried?....  | |

| when should we give up hope? Posted: 12/17/2005 4:46:08 PM | Never give up , and never give in.
When single enjoy being single, when in a relationship enjoy being in a relationship.
One has to learn to live with themselves before one can start to think of others. If you are single, just go out and live your life - and leave your heart open to what occurs.
Anyone you meet could turn out to be who you really need to be happy with, but you are responsible for building a strong foundation with yourself before they arrive. If you are bitter, or sad, or depressed - those very things will turn them away from you, and you will lose what you most desire.
When you meet them, you must be in the moment - not in the past or future.
It all starts with you, and until you accept that you reduce your chances of finding a mate.
Love is a bit like trying to find your glasses, they are never very far away - and you always wind up searching in the wrong place for them.  | |

| when should we give up hope? Posted: 12/19/2005 10:47:59 AM | | I don't think you should ever give up and maybe it is not as simple as getting over the heartbreak of what happens to us enabling us to move on to someone else. I honestly believe that being alone is an acquired taste, hard to do, and after a while noone can be let into our lives because we, ourselves, have put in place the walls. It is safer and more simple to be alone-(forever is a long time) but not easier. I don't want to miss out on the good that is out there for me including friends and lovers. If I stop letting everything in I will have no good and end up feeling nothing. The bull**** we all go through is worth it. | |
