People say that you just need to be patient and that there will eventually be love in your life, but I've heard that for years. I'm a confident, healthy, intelligent man, who believes in romance and respect in a relationship. In the past 20 years, I have not found a woman who views those things as being important.
Is it time to give up and acknowledge that I'll be alone for the rest of my life?

Being alone isn't that bad, you aren't the only one who is tired of sorting thru the modern 'ladies' trying to find a decent one. Real women are a dying breed anymore and it's too bad.

I ask a repeated question Where have you been looking? How has that been working for you? The bar... uh no...
dating services, chat lines , internet? Uh NO...
try something new, that you wouldn't think of trying... take up a course such as rock climbing...
have you tried being set up on a blind date?
Have you tried talking to someone about this? such as a therapist... could be you have just set your standards too high... compromise is the key.. you can't change anyone to your standards, but try to find qualities that compliment you both as a couple and individually.
you don't want to find an ideal robot... respect in a relationship is earned... if you treat someone the way you want to be treated and set boundaries instead of demands, that will get you alot further .
for example: Demanding attention, or affection doesn't cut it... instead encourage or discourage by showing respect yourself. Communication is key and perhaps a therapist my expand your skills in that area.
Over confidence is kinda a turn off... Many women want a man to be vulnerable at times, and allow the women to take the lead and not have something to prove attitude. I am not saying you are like this but this is where compromise comes in... some men think they have to be the big show in all situations, they are the experts at everything even with women, and men can be waaaaay off... even thier perceptions of what women want and even how a women views respect and attitude.
Women and men are truly wired differently and we both have to compromise, that doesn't mean loosing morals or values, just means toning down abit and showing alittle bit of latitude and loving the person anyway...
You have someone out there best suited to your needs, don't give up... love is wonderful and glorious with headache and heartache but the pain is worth it to get to the joy and the extacy and elatement it gives. Love is fufilling and sustaining and it's a roller coast ride.
God Bless, Friend.
