Well you aren't alone. I have pretty much given up too. To me, it seems I am best suited for a life as a single person anyway.

I am ok with never meeting that special person in a way. Why worry myself to death over that? In my past relationships, it always seemed as though I valued the time I had AWAY from the person, than with them....so why should I go looking to put myself in that situation again?

What I don't like, but have equally given up on, is finding good friends. In my life have only had two GOOD friends, and only one best friend. They are gone, but at least I can say that I had the chance to know them. That's more than some people ever get their whole lives.

OP, I agree with you in the way you feel about people our age. I also go for older people, in both friendship and relationships. But, anything good takes time, don't be in such a rush to find that special person....you will find them(or they find you) one day. I can almost guarantee it

Focus your time more on you, the things you want to do, things you desire. Who knows? Maybe those things would lead to your special someone.

Best of luck to you in life.

your 20!
give up, try women, try acid and try to have some fun in your life!
do not worry about, cheeting **stard boy friends and all that, and worry about getting an education in and out of school so that you can learn what is important to you and yours!

as a helpful hint, if you throw yourself at someone, they may drop you...
good luck and enjoy your life

Fire Goddess,

Yes, we are out here, not just looking to “Hook-Up” and as the Navigator stated, some of us are hurt, tired to being lied to, cheated on, stabbed in the back, etc., but we are out there, but we have a safety shield that we use as not to be burned beyond all recognition.

At your age the male of the species is looking primarily for one thing and one thing only, and it isn’t to provide love, and companionship, and trust, and honesty, and emotional assistance, and caring, and you should be able to pick it up from here?

At your age, you have not/will not give up as your life has just begun, and it’s a wonderful journey with a beautiful path to walk…

A watched pot never boils... that's the philosophy I go for.

What I mean is that if you are constantly looking for the "perfect" guy, chances are you are always setting yourself up for disappointment. For me I do a search every once in a while and send out a couple emails and answer any that come to me.

Maybe you have set your "sights" too high? Not all men that are in school are idiots. I know quite a few men who are currently in college and have a good head on their shoulders. Or maybe they are working a couple part time jobs, doesn't mean they aren't good people.

Leave yourself open to chance and maybe stop searching right now and just let life happen. I too believe in soul mates. You are only 20 years old... you will find someone

i should hit my head with a hammer and try to remember this... This is cool!
