I think officially i have given up on the dating scene its fun at first then after when it all ends its so painful and disappointing....

Are there really men out there that don’t lie and cheat and just genuinely want to have a healthy happy relationship. I have no hope and me personally believe that those men either don’t exists or are all taken

Yeah, we exist.

Some of us have been treated as shoddily by women as you have been by men, and have taken ourselves out of the dating scene temporarily, if not permanently.

You are only twenty years old. Assuming you are going for guys in your age bracket, I would say at least 50% of them aren't into a super-serious relationship at this point in their lives.

thats the sad thing i dont date men or boys rather my age because there mind state is just pathetic (most of them) and so i go for the older ones who have established themselves
because as full of myself i may sound i belive that i have endured a lot out of life and it shows in my behavours i know the direction in which im heading and i know exactly how i want to get there... and at the same time im well aware that things come in the way to try to stop me and im fully ready to take them head on..

im not even talking about myself personally i am but i mean
i see married men cheat. oldler younger i see younger men cheat
yeah there are very few men out there that are what you call one woman men
and if their out there then... their hiding from me

Try networking thru family and friends, coworkers. I think this net dating is just not all it's cracked up to be. You meet someone, they seem to like you, you like them, then suddenly door number three becomes available.. You are then persona non gratis..

It did not take me long to figure out how it goes on this site. I now come for the company of the forums, changed my profile to friends.. peace

ahhh such a sad place for only 20 years old. don't give up just focus your life on something else for awhile, and when you stop looking and expecting something great from average men, mr right will show up. sometimes in life we are looking too hard for something to actually see it when its right there..... good luck to you and if you find mr right let me know if he has a brother lol

I never give up easily on anything. Looking back, maybe I should've learned how to give up & let go sooner than what I've done. I always believed if it (he) was worth having, it (he)was worth working for....through the good & bad. That's not always the case tho.

I think they exist, but they don't go out very much, usually. I have the same problem too, but I will never give up. I did last October (on this site), but I decided to go on and try again. This time with more gusto, more higher standards, and not playing games this time. I'm a better person than I used to be and I'm not going for no man's tricky mental games this time...

Have YOU finished school?

Let me translate for the literate among us....

Geeze. What was that 45 words? And there were errors in 10 of them?

If you project yourself in a little more favorable light, you won't have to "give up". Not at 20!!

Don't feel bad, after searching forever I think I'm just about out of gas when it comes to searching for my significant other as well.

I can't do it anymore, I'm putting my search on Indefinate hiadus. Whatever happens happens from here on out. I am leaving this site indefinately because I have wasted the better part of two years here without a single date to prove from it. To those of you that talked to me frequently and to those of you that tried cheering me up, god speed and good luck

Stop feeling sorry for yourself,

you are only 20 years old, get out there and have a great life. Travel, persue hobbies, have goals, keep active.

I didn't get my first girlfriend till I was 23 - I didn't care, I just get out and have fun. At 20 you still have the world at your feet.

good luck

Geeze Eddie! If you're going to act like the proverbial dad/school teacher/smarty pants/spelling monitor, please make sure your response is pristine and free of errors yourself, okay?

Do they spell phase with a "z" in Ohio, finished without the second "i", and independently with an "a"?

I don't think so fella.

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!
