Posted: 11/3/2006 9:16:47 PM | | HANG IN THERE IT WILL GET BETTER SOON. THIS SITE MAKES YOU CRAZY AT TIMES, BUT I AM SOMEWHAT COMPETITIVE AND WILL NOT GIVE UP ON HERE UNTIL IT IS RIGHT. PEOPLE LIE AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY WANT. THERE ARE GOOD ONES OUT THERE AND LOOKING FOR YOU TOO-HANG IN THERE. DATING IS HARD THESE DAYS BUT WHAT ELSE IS THERE IF WE DO NOT TRY TO FIND THE ONE-THEY DO NOT COME KNOCKINK ON THE DOOR. I TOO HAVE HAD BAD DATES, I THINK WE ALL HAVE ON HERE. GOOD LUCK AND KEEP YOUR HEAD UP NO MATTER WHAT, CASEY | |

Posted: 11/3/2006 11:04:31 PM | Well I was wrong about this person!!!! OMG he is great!!! We both like eachother hehehe.. So I guess I dont really need to look anymore... He apologized for not calling me but that he got home really late from work and was too tired to call.. So now I feel like a big jerk but you know its soo hard nowadays because when you have had bad experiences you automatically think the worst about people..
Today has turned out to be one of the best days i've had in a long time!!!!  
Happy  | |

Posted: 11/3/2006 11:48:37 PM | | Yes and I have. Right now I am only looking for friends. I have been hurt so much in the past that the thought of getting involved with any man scares me. I was used and I wanted true love and never got it. Maybe someday, but I just don't see it happening for me anytime in the near future. | |

Posted: 11/4/2006 7:01:56 AM | Hey everyone..
Totally agree with Pink.... We can sit around a sulk or get out and do stuff and get right back up at bat!
If they were "the one" you wouldn't be here feeling the way you feel... I sometimes feel rejected too and that there are lots of games going on (men and women play them).. but get over it and move on. Yeah, I wish "my one" would come along.. but in the meantime I enjoy the forums and making friends. Hang in there.... it's bound to happen...
take care all..
Loopy :-)

Posted: 11/4/2006 10:56:53 AM | This subject line really caught my attention because I feel like this on a daily basis.
I say that I am giving up all the time. And then, I find myself with one eye open looking and looking. Crazy Huh? Call me the one eye wonderer… 
There are many things I do not understand in the "dating" world. Maybe, it’s because I have never truly dated until now. And ‘now’ at my age it seems weird!
And, this word ‘dating’ is miss leading and confusing to me because I think one really needs to be friends first. If you are not friends first, on what foundation is there to build? Please correct me if am wrong. If I was looking for a ‘quick fix’, I can get that anywhere, anytime but to me that is cold and empty. However, the reason I look here is because maybe there is someone out there who is taking the journey and wants the same as I do. I don’t expect to be more than a friend with many of the people I meet…and that is ok… but in my journey of making friends… I am hoping to find the right one just for me and me for them… does this make any sense?
SO --yes, I give up on a daily basis. And then I get back on the horse and start all over again...  | |

Posted: 11/4/2006 7:05:17 PM | Oct. 29 - "I dont have many friends as most of them all left Kamloops"
Nov. 4 - "My friends all say he is a really nice guy so we'll see LOL yipppeeeeee"
this hand - "I have been alone for about a yr and a half ... I am just soo tired of being alone"
that hand - "have been single for a while (by choice)"
No comment - just a noticing. | |

Posted: 11/4/2006 7:18:09 PM | Yes, I feel the same way. Seems that the one great love is almost unattainable. I see others in love and sometimes wonder why them and not me??? I know that people say wait and it will come to you when you least expect it, but there comes a point when you have waited so long your heart is broken and you have no hope. I can only say that focusing on other aspects of your life helps. Honestly it does. Now this is not to say I dont have tears over this dissappointing factor in my life, but no matter what I have done I cant change it. So, I guess I will grin and bear it, lol. Good luck! May all the lonely people out there find their one true love! | |

Posted: 11/5/2006 3:12:43 AM | Right now, I certainly feel like calling it quits on trying to find someone.
========================================
Best thing you can do friend. Quit searching. Quit chasing, quit the gut busting. The woman that neeeds chasing isn't worth chasing.
Don't quit socialising. Get around. Talk to as many women as you can for as short a time as possible and move on. If they are interested in you they will come after you.
If you are chasing you are lucky if you have maore than half a dozen on th shortlist and mostof those not interested.
If you are socialisng you ae in contact, abiet berief contact, with thousands. | |

Posted: 11/12/2006 10:54:06 AM | | I've basically given up on THIS site because I don't think the people on it are serious about finding a real connection. I check in once in awhile for yuks, but that's about all now. I have contacted a lot of profiles here that I thought had stuff in common with me, but they either don't write back, turn out NOT to look like their profile picture, or just are very much into themselves. I guess when God figures it's time for me to have a boyfriend, he'll put one in my life, so I'm not sweating it any more. When the time is right. . . . . . . | |

Posted: 11/12/2006 11:18:15 AM | havent read ALL the posts in this thread but have read a LOT of them. what I read is my thoughts almost to a T. as I said in my profile(i"m here) I haved given up on finding MS right, I'm just not looking as hard as I used to. I guess in some ways I'm lucky as I have good friends, close family and dont mind my own company. that doesnt mean I dont want that feeling again, it just means I dont worry about it much. from dec to late feb is the only time frame that consistanly bothers me. other than that period I'm fine with being single. all in all I guess it just helps a little to know that (even though it may feel like it) I am not the only one feeling this way. just my 2 ccents. | |

Posted: 11/12/2006 11:59:54 AM | | To everyone on here,I must give you my honest opinion. Never say never! I am 53 and been single by choice,,although I get lonely and miss a companion,,it is much better than being with the wrong one,,For all the young ones ,,in their 20s and 30s,,you have alot of time ahead of you. Now is the best time to sit back and think about you ,,,your needs,,wants and work on yourself, before choosing a partner. And if you have already made some wrong choices,,well you still have plenty of time to learn from the past and go on. But the biggest mistakes we of all ages make is looking for miss and mr perfect! Sorry wont happen,,only in our dreams and fairytales.No one is perfect including you. So maybe put your guard down a little and expectations,,and dont try so hard,,then it will all come together. Just when you least expect it someone will come along. | |

Posted: 11/12/2006 12:00:00 PM | | we all feel like its hopeless sometime or another. whether we admit it or not .ive met nothing but wonderful people on POF.usually every one i contact answers me back. other sites all ive gotten is that stupid wink. and i think thats generated by the web owners to keep you interested in keeping your subscription active (IE money). most of the people ive met usually live too far away. but hell no i 'm no quitter. im going to keep on plugging along. everybodys been hurt before. but you can never give up. surrender is not an option .good luck to everyone and god bless you | |

Posted: 11/12/2006 6:55:14 PM | To the OP:
Yah, I have given up both in real life, and on here. This is the first time I've came on here in months to be honest...
If you can, seriously focus your attention on something else. | |

Posted: 11/18/2006 8:05:05 PM | I'm thinking about it as well. 
It just is not happening for me, I tried as hard as any-one else to follow the expectations most female POF'ers have.
I tried to make my profile informative, interesting and full of positives as well as being honest to my 'real' feelings and where I am coming from.
Part of me feels disapointed that I tried to do things right with little result. Why can it not be enough to be me? Why do I have to keep re-editing myself, damm.
I'm far from perfect but I do know for a fact that I am worth knowing and that I am a genuinely good man, I know who Iam.
Why does it have to be so damm tough ? I don't ask for much but I offer so much.
Is there any love for me out-there ?  | |

Posted: 11/18/2006 8:31:27 PM | | I've lost track on how many times i've given up on finding love, and thinking the same thing as everyone else "is there someone for me?"-I truly believe there is someone for everyone. I also believe that love will surface when I least expect it....I don't believe true love can be found by endlessly searching and constantly hoping for it. I do believe that love is meant to be found accidentally, through a strange twist of fate and coincidence! Think about how the last love came into your life: did you do a detailed analytical search for him/her? | |

Ain't that the truth!! A 33 year gap in my dating experience left me feeling a bit twisted! | |

Posted: 11/21/2006 1:25:40 PM | They say it's when you stop looking that things come to you. Cliche? Maybe so !!
I haven't entirely given up, but with every situation that doesn't seem to pan out, well it get's harder and harder to keep positive about things-- to still have faith that a person will be what they present themselves to be..
Nope, i'm not giving up, but what you can do to protect your heart and soul a bit is too not give too much of your being so quickly ( i don't mean phisically, that should be a given ).
The trouble in that is that you may find a great person, but if you have a small wall up, you may miss out, so don't be too stubborn. MY new thing is to go by how the other person handle's or treats you.
Actions speak louder then words-- don't date down-don't settle, and always go with your gut feelings (though that may hurt).
If I had taken this advice when given to me, i wouldn't have gotten so confused and hurt, therefore i wouldn't have wanted to "given up" at all.
Happy Turkeyday to all................. | |

Posted: 11/22/2006 5:47:39 PM | | You have lots of time yet to find your true love, your soul mate, your best friend. She is out there. Do not give up hope at the young age of 26. You appear to be a good looking man (as I viewed your profile). As the saying goes stop looking for love and it will fall in your lap. Happy hunting to you! | |
