DONT YOU DARE get embittered about it. That's just laziness.
You should be out there not only having fun but looking for love. While you may never find that perfect relationship (do they even exist?), do you really want to end up a crotchetty old fuddy-duddy with an acid tongue and a scrooge mentality?
We are social animals and we have been brought up (or conditioned, or dogmatised, or instinctively) to require an intimate relationship, in order to be fulfilled. It has been shown that relationships reduce coronarys (and you thought that broken heart business was flannel, LOL).
Unless you are extremely spiritual and are hoping to develop a deep intimate relationship with the Ether, don't give up on love.
Or maybe you're just tired because you just broke up and, 6 months down the road, you'll be champing for it, all over again.

I once upon a time, I ended a relationship after 9 years and gave up on that thing called "love". I was content for the next 6 years having fun as a single person not looking to get committed. Then love found me. I resisted for awhile but realized I never knew what love was until now. Three years and it's wonderful.

I understand. But I hope that love finds you while you're having (safe) fun.
And I don't mean just sex, but meet some people, go some places, do some fun stuff. You might wake up in love again when you least expect it. If not, you'll have gotten to know and love yourself a lot more.

It is hard. I've wanted to give up on love a million times but I believe the meaning of life is to love, not just in a romantic way. I feel that if you give love to people a little everyday, the love you desire will come to you. Hang in there!

I know how you feel. I've been through relationship after relationship and had my heart broken by someone I really cared for. So there are times where I do give up on love, but you need to say to yourself that there is that mr. right out there for you and you'll be just fine.

I understand totally. I have been disappointed so many times I'm tired of trying. Do love to have friends, however, and I'm happy being single.

Yes i undesrstand. You're just tired emotionally. It will come back to you. I'm disapointed in men and love sa well but i dont think you can just kick love out of your life if you're a person who commits itself.
