After so many friendly e-mails and refusals, i have finally decided to give it up. It has decreased my self confidence drastically, and I feel like it just doesn't work for me. I finally decided to abandon the whole idea of finding love and decided to start caring only about my future job. There are so many people out there who live the life of their own. I will be one of them. Not a tragedy...right?... Do you think I should really give it up? Some people just don't have luck with love and don't have their partners in life.

i've had the same experience with online dating, it was awful! definitely focus on yourself and love will find you when you're not even looking!

You shouldn't give up because of that. Online dating is a terrible idea for men. Almost all the decent women on there are inactive or flooded with requests from men. It's a lost cause unless you're 5'11"+, make $50K+, and don't look too bad. Even if you do have those qualities, you will probably meet a lot of sluts and fat chicks.
Instead of that, you should get out more! Join a club or something. I think you should give up online dating, but not your search in general. You have to be patient. In person (which is better than online), average men have only about a 10% success rate with random women. Good night!

I'm not sure how long you've did the online thing. All I can say is "Been there, done that,did the book tour!" lol. I have for about a year (still getting those rejection notes, when I do get hits that is) but, I myself, have learned that though it's nice to get a hit once in a while, I try (and I stress the word TRY!) to not let it be my whole world if they reply/not reply etc.. I mean, who likes rejection? (that's for a different subject another time lol) I haven't totally given it up, I just don't look that often. And try to not take it so personally. I know that's better said than done. But it is good to focus on other things as well (you job, friends, hobbies, etc..) Just hang in there.

I have been on online dating. It seems that all the guys wants a Barbie Doll. While looking for this , they don't find a good woman.If a woman wants to show T's and A's, then she is in. If this is what i have to do to get a man, he is not worth much. And i have not seen that many men that look to much like Ken.
The flip side of this coin is, a lot of women are out there looking for a sugar daddy at all cost and that makes it harder for a woman who is wanting a full and loving relationship with a man that deserves her.

this is unhappy. God relax his soul, and that i'm sorry for the loss. that's totally frightening. somewhat, undesirable issues take place to sturdy people and undesirable people. that's existence. yet on the surprising element, many sturdy issues take place to us all! We in basic terms would desire to objective and count style our reward daily and attempt to stay a grateful existence. exciting question, however. this is somewhat some thing to think of roughly. ^__^ BQ: no longer many plans. I anticipate it is going to likely be a monotonous and uneventful weekend. I somewhat have lots of homework and church on Sunday. optimistically some thing exciting and relaxing will take place, however!

Don't give up. But I think u should start caring about ur job,but...... it doesn't mean u have to give up isn't? Don't worry you'll find love somewhere,but not from online dating I think.
Good luck. =)

i think maybe you should just change the way you look at things..why does it automatically have to be a love connection...why not work on making friends...the best partner is a great friend...and by making friends you can make connections with friends of friends...and so forth...who knows what that could bring...change your attitude..love is out there..it just doesnt show up when you want it to but its timing is perfect....

It doesn't sound like you are ready to give up on love -- just discouraged. Join some groups and maybe you'll meet a friend there.
