I am really starting to hate dating! I have been actively dating for the past 1.5 years and I am becoming very emotionally drained. The dating game is always the same. for me..meeting someone, getting to know them, I start liking them, I start getting my hopes up and finally my gets heart broken and its the end of the ride. It's becoming a pattern for me and I am honestly tired of crying and being let down. I try to follow all the dating rules. I don't jump right into bed right away, I try not to get really into them too fast and I do take things slow for the most part. I do little things for them to show them I care like cooking for them, I may take them out to dinner, and I give them space when they need it. What am I doing wrong? How can I prevent my heart from being broken all the time?

Ah, the eternal life struggle ... young, single ... wanting to find a life mate ..
Yes, it is very difficult and there are so many predatory individuals out there -- which makes this search a long, hard one for most people.
First is to love yourself -- and be the confident single that you can be -- providing your own income to meet your needs, and constantly working on your interests, your talents, and expanding your knowledge and skills.
When you least expect it -- maybe that special someone will come along ..

Here is the problem with dating, IMHO:
Women are always looking for long relationships that end with marriage and children
Men are looking for short relationships that end with banging and no children.
Men realize that they have to come across the way the women want them to behave if they want to get what they want, so they are basically playing along so they can get laid, but don't really enjoy most of the other dating stuff that goes on...

hye, girl. relax. you don't have to be perfect all the time, especially when dating. don't take it seriously ok. make dating, as a fun activities in your life. when you did something wrong when you're dating, learn from your mistakes.
good luck, girl...

Maybe if you change how you think about dating it won't be hard.
Instead of looking for a partner think of it as going out with a new guy and just having fun.
No expectations.
When you change what you expect the outcome will be different.
And you're right....keep your panties on.

dont date. just know people until you know them better. less chance of the "win or lose".
