When is it time to throw in the towel and stop looking or waiting for love to happen? Granted, with family issues I have been more concerned with for a long time, I have not been activly looking. But now I am 44 and maybe it is just too late.

You said it yourself---you have not been actively looking. Probably anything else you've put time and effort into has gone well for you and this will too now that you are focusing on this area of your life. It is never too late!!

Say Lewis: Don't ever give up Man ! Life has it's ups and downs no matter what your after in life, ever heard the song every rose has it's thorns, get a chance listen to the song OK. Romance is one of the hardest games to play at any age, I'm older than you are and I've met some money hungery women out there, they like what I have and it seems like nothing more, It's no fun being rich and not so famous in this world. But it's not too late to keep looking, Do you want to start a family ? because there's enough dead beat dads and husbands out there that don't take care of what they have, to choose from and they are not all that bad, It just take time finding the right one for the right reason. You realy should be concern about family issues because they do matter in this world. Good luck chap !

It is never too late. Sometimes what you need is a change of scenery. I mean this can be hard, but how rooted are you where you live? Sometimes it takes a new atmosphere to help you find what you are looking for. Just because you are 44 doesn't mean that you can't find love. There is no age limit on love. Keep getting out there and making dates. Have you tried Harmony, or match.com. Those can be good resources. Don't give up hope. Maybe you need to see a therapist. Sometimes we can have issues that inhibit us from accepting love. I mean you could go out on a date with someone who would have a connection with you but internally you aren't accepting love. That makes a difference. Do you love yourself? If you don't who else will? Sort out your issues, then prioritize. If finding love is first on your list, then focus on that. Do what it takes to make that happen. Don't just sit back and wait for the woman of your dreams to knock on your door and instantly want to marry you. It takes time, and lots of work to have a relationship. I'm sure if you get your ducks in a row and set some goals, you'll be on the road to a romance.

I am glad you asked this question because I feel your pain.
They say it will happen soon as you stop trying so hard but, I too have stopped looking and gave up long ago yet continue to experience years of loneliness. Why can't the man be the man anymore? We have to be so catering to the women. Isn't there women out there who just want to be loved and be a part of someone else? I look forward to the responses you get to find the answer here on Yahoo answers too. Good luck man!

Its never to late for love It seems to me you are making excuses and not really allowing yourself to be with anyone. I tell you what next time you approach a woman take it slow don't just jump into well im looking for love just let stuff happen don't rush it takes time to find true love and seems to me that you are a sweet man and love takes time so don't give up but also stay true to yourself no matter what.

This is an easy one. You stop looking or hoping for love when you have exhaled your last breath and not one second before. It may happen tomorrow or not but at some point...

It is never too late.I spent much of my life looking and i don't intend to look anymore and i am happy with that. Why do you men want to give up. Love can always happen.

Never too late...if you are completely sure there is no chance of saving what you have then you have to think of yourself and do what makes you happy. You can't rely on someone else to do it for you.

Give up...don't say that i'm 36, so does that mean i only have 8 years to find someone!! I'm not looking but i know that he is out there somewhere, he just doesn't realise i'm single!

HEY ! Lewis,
If I can find love at 70 ( after a very treacherous sort of divorce recently ) then I see NO REASON why YOU CAN'T at 44 !
So instead of throwing IN the towel, JUST throw it AWAY - FAR, FAR AWAY and START LOOKING !
THE BEST OF LUCK TO YOU !
