When is it time to give up?
Posted: 6/22/2008 8:54:18 AM
OP, I am sorry for all the saddness you have had in your life, but don't give up. It might take some time, some patience and some soul searching, but you will find someone.

As far as the woman who left you, consider yourself lucky. It's easy to stay together through the good times, the hard times are the true test for any relationship, people who can weather the storm together are the people who have the strongest relationships. When the chips are down and people bail, that shows you what kind of person she was and you deserve better.

hi there, i think the internet is full of players, so dont take it personally, it may just take a very long time to find a genuine relationship. i am a christian myself, and have had a very tough year, making me want to give up on god, but i know he wont give up on ,me. i live with my boys, but i am still very lonely, so i know sort of how u feel a little. start by making a big circle of friends hun, i know easier said than done, and see where you can give to the community, maybe some voluntary work, it always makes you feel good to do somehing good for others, and the way to make friends is to be a friend......contact me for a chat sometime, i need more friends too, can never have too many....god bless.x

I still have hope that somewhere there is someone for me, I have had ups and downs, met some good friends, but I still keep searching for the one! Hope is a good thing, so I encourage you to keep looking!

Don't you dare give up ! I have read what you have said here and in your profile, You
sound like a terrific guy , I would be thrilled to know a man like you, sad to say you live way too far away . You keep optimistic maybe she will be Starbucks or the produce isle , keep your smile handy and say hello. Woman are looking and hoping too. I have had so many men walk past and been too shy tp speak , seize the moment !

There are thousands of people on here, feeling the same way you do and yet...we still hammer away at it, checking our email, winking, etc...all for the same reason, to find that one special person to share our life. Don't give up. Yes, you may end up a lonely old man but at least you know you tried. The flip side of this is maybe, just maybe, you'll find someone who is worthy of your love. Yes, I said "worthy" because that's what we all deserve. It's just like anything in this life, if you don't try, then you failed. Keep yourself out there regardless. Don't go looking for love, if you're suppose to find it, it will find you. In the meantime, start out as friends first, the rest comes later. You have to have this as a basis in any relationship, whether or not it turns romantic. If it turns romantic, then you've hit the lottery, if it stays as a friendship, then you've won the lottery too (just not as big of a jackpot, lol). I'm sorry about your wife but I'm sure she give you the same advice if she could talk to you. As far as that other woman, she wasn't right for you, when you love, you love through thick and thin. Good luck.

Thinking of throwing in the towel already? Dont give up. Yes there is someone for everyone, even if its more than one time. Just remember that if youve ever experienced your true soulmate then no one can replace that, so dont expect it to be the same. Everyone is different, try not to compare or youll be dissapointed. Just accept new person as they are and embrace the newfound love. Some people never experience that, let alone twice in thier life. Count your blessings if you want to continue to look. Seek and ye shall find!

I think that different people have different thresholds for giving up as you say.I would never give up unless I choose to be alone.It seems that when you are not looking is when you will find someone.Sometimes it seems that we will never get over a major pain like you have been thru with your wife of 27 years.Just remember if you feel in love again once,it can happen again.Hang in there.

Well, take off those sun glass and take another picture. You have a very cute face. You write a very honest message. Oh, heck come on down here and take me back. I would love to be wisk away by a caring man. Do you like sassy headheads?

Never say never and never give up. But honestly you may have to look in a broader areas to find her. Do things, get out. You find love in the oddest places. Look outside the box. Rule out only huge deal breakers and list the positive.

Gee, if I only could take my own advice. Many on other sites are on here.

Go where ever the crowds are. You have to be open to receive love. You will get it.

Don't even think about what you were and embrase the new you. All that needs to be siad is your wife passed, you got ill, better now. How about a movie?

Everytime I want to give up, I turn to my friends to cheer me up. i dust myself off after the heartache is gone and try again. Only you will know if it is time to quit.
