I've made my New Years Resolution - I'm giving up on dating for the next 12 months.
I've had nothing but bad experiences this year - almost every woman I've met shot me down. I only went on 2 first dates this year, and not one second date.
In a real way, I've already stopped dating - but it was due to the women I meet turning me down. So, if the dating thing isn't working for me, maybe it's time to stop trying!
It might also be the type of women I pick - young pretty women with toxic personalities. I do tend to have bad judgement when it comes to females - a pretty smile, a big butt and a pair of 36C's do tend to blind me to a woman's inner character.
In any case, it feels like it's time to give it a break, at least for a year.
Any thoughts?

If I were you your new years resolution should be to go out more often but do not get so serious about these women. You might be going to fast for these women try to be friends with them first. These women probably see desperate all over your face and it probably scares them some. If they are not willing to give you a second date then hey it is there loss. Go out take it slow and someone will come your way. Have fun you only live once. Do not rush anything.

Seems like you need time to reflect, and stop going after women just for looks. Open your eyes and talk with all women, and one day, if you ever get so lucky, you will find a girl who you find absolutely amazing and can't stand to be away from her. And I bet once you see past your superficial reasons for finding woman attractive, you will see a world of opportunity in the dating scene. Good luck chap, and don't give up. Like the old saying goes.... If at first you don't succeed, try and try again.

Yes! You're picking the wrong types! Spend some time looking at "average" ladies.....they're the ones you want to take home to meet the family. Show horses are good for the show, but not worth a flip when the show is over. Meet a nice, common, working, everyday woman, and your life will change immediately..... for the BETTER! Good Luck, and keep on dating!

Nothing wrong with being blinded by what you described. You like what you like. The only thing is that by your own description you are looking at these women lustfully and haven't even attempted to find out what's on the inside. So I say don't take the time off. Fight your urges and try to get to know the next one for what she has inside. Simply saying its a choice, lust or love.

Take a break! Do something you've always wanted to do! Go on vacation. Join a club. Concentrate on improving your life, don't dwell on the being single part. Trust me! When the time is right, you'll be ready!
Good Luck!

I suggest reading "Since I Kissed Dating Goodbye"
Perhaps you should do things that build your character, like helping others (not being selfish), not blaming others for certain problems you're having. Or maybe when you find a deeper meaning or purpose to your life you'll be attracted to better women and they will be more likely to accept you.

Yes take a break and re-evaluate your feelings towards women. By the way...women can tell when you have no respect for who they are and treat them as sex objects....maybe thats why there were no second dates. Just a thought....

sounds like you have your self analysis in hand now instead of stopping the dating look for a different type of woman and see how that goes

There is nothingwrong with trying to fiind the right person. You don't find true love after a couple of dates. And you really need to look past their beauty and try to find the right PERSONALITY for you .

personally, i took a 6 month haitus from dating to focus on my relationship with god, and it was a great decision. i found out things about myself. i would also suggest maybe making an actual physical list of things you'd like in a girlfriend/wife/whatever. it really does keep you from lowering your standards.
