How would one go about un-giving up?

I know exactly how you feel right now dude. I wish I could just give you a hug, and no, I'm not gay. Sometimes you just feel like its never going to happen for you, and then you look around and it seems to happen so easily for others. You know you are a great guy, but you start to question yourself a little. I met my soulmate almost 4 yrs. ago, only to find out that she was married. She feels the same way about me, but won't leave a bad marriage because of the kids. When will I ever feel this way about someone else again? Will I ever feel that way again? We all want that feeling, even those of us who have said we've given up. Maybe we do have to totally give up and then it will just happen by accident or circumstance. We spend hours on these dating sites, but what has it gotten us but more frustration. I can't even get women to reply to very nice e-mails that I send them. Its very disheartening. We both need a break.

When you develop a strong "why" to do something, you can take all the crap that getting it takes. Without the "why" then you will be weak. And I suggest getting a book or two about overcoming self pity. Not to sound mean, but that seems to be the issue.

I am in that I don't care place too, except I don't even seem to care that I don't care, lol. That's funny, I think alot people have felt that way at the day or another, but then another day with a hope comes along, and all the sudden, your back...

Well, with some women's attitudes, can you blame some guys? So many are spoiled, picky and materialistic, that there is justification for concern and complaining.

Hey, this is a great post! Why didn't I think of it? Yea, I have been there, in fact, I am usually still there! Or is it here? Ya know the way I look at it, is this: if we ideally end up with one true love in our lives, then how can we get frustrated and upset when we don't find "the one" in the first week, month, or year that we set out to find them? now I tend not to believe in fate, but I do believe that" good things come to those who actively pursue what they want!" That's a little revision of the old "good things come to those who wait!" However, this theory seems to be in question when my other theory, "you will find it when you are not looking for it", inevitably comes into play! So, to sum it up, by my somewhat contradictory views, love is a crap shoot! There is no rhyme or reason to it! If you are looking for it you will never find it, but, if you aren't looking for it, how can you expect to find it?

but then another day with a hope comes along, and all the sudden, your back


but then you go back to the I don't care place a couple of times and it kills all hope.

there is no rule that says you must stay on the dating go round. take a break. enjoy your friends, your family, your hobbies, the warmer weather, girl watching (it's free) and just be happy. when you stop looking, good things can happen.
