There comes a point in time where finding love may not ever happen again.

My grandmother lived 22 years after her husband died without ever falling in love again.

People on this site have proclaimed they may never find love again. This isn't relegated to the older members. I have seen very young and hurt people say it also.

Is there a point in time where we say, "I give up?" We come here and lay out who we are, the good and the bad, become embarassed about our shortcomings.

We try to put our best foot forward, and it still doesn't seem good enough.

I don't know about you, but this is very difficult. The hopes we have, only to be dashed by rejection. The love we find, only to come back here in pain.

When is enough enough?

This is not about me personally...please share YOUR viewpoints about yourselves if you wish to.

Thanks.

Well, i teeter-totter back and forth, im old school, i believe that when i tell someone I LOVE YOU, then that's it, i don't want anyone else..don't want to try to run around anymore, that's it, but here lately with my love life, i can't complain...I was on the verge of giving up...and well, still throwin punches in the 12 round, that's what i am a fighter, why should i expect love to be easy to just pick up and run off, hell no, i got to fight for it, and that's one scrap im ready to give all i got..

That's a great attitude Stew. You will fight the fight to the end...

Well, I have looked at the facts........

Been on my own a very long time....... yes, very long!! Not had much in the way of interest by anyone remotely suitable, in RL or otherwise.

Had the opportunity of meeting a guy for coffee a few weeks back, then he suddenly disappeared off the face of the earth. So.... if one can't even get someone to meet for a simple coffee (and, bugger it.... I would've even paid!!)... it already doesn't bode well, does it?

Had an ex pop up out of the blue..... for what reason, who knows? That was a disaster.....!!

So.... someone who knows me - nope! Someone who doesn't know me - nope! I'd pretty much given up a fair while ago and, as you know Ken, just larked about on the Forums... though maintaining a glimmer of hope, I guess...?? But, its clearly not meant to be.........

When is enough enough? Errmmm.... right about now, I'd say!!

NEVER! I will never give up until the last nail hits my coffin.
I have 30 years left and won't waste any of them.Not if I can help it!

hmm .. I dont know .. frankly the entire love thing is quite illusioning at times.

Speak about me ... i cant think of anything which came easy for me .. not that it does for other people but i usually find myself in rather difficult and not very easy situations ...

So .. i dont know .. I have found love rather the other way round a couple of times haha yes few times but sometimes i had to let it go and sometimes i just let it go .. so well ..

No idea Ken but for now I'll just sit on the side lines watching.

yep ken and so will you, i know a lot of ppl on here, and your by far one of the best guys on here, a way better man than i will ever be....She will find you or you her....keep swingin...

A glimmer of hope is still hope....

THAT is the right spirit guy where there is life huh?

It's good to sit on the bench once in a while. You gain a better perspective of things around you.

Good luck Dan...

I am in awe of your perseverence!!

Life is what i make it, so gotta bust ass to make it good..

I think once you find someone that has caught your interest, particularly through the forums, then the next step is to talk via emails, im'ing and then phone calls. The longer and patiently you do this, you'll learn more about each other and that's half the battle when you finally meet.

You two wonderful men above me are real catches in my book because I've had the wonderful pleasure of knowing both of you for almost two years! Ladies? I can attest that these are two genuinely sweet, wonderful, loyal men! Anyone hurts them? You'll have me to deal with lol

Definitely keepers!

Your life is so full now....you may not have the time to search for love.

But I guarantee it will happen for you.

Are you kidding me girl? Your beautiful, your young.
Keep that smile and dazzle the guys.
So you met a few idiots, their loss and there are a lot of
fish left in the ocean.

Well for me..if i had of given up then i wouldnt be where i am today...relocating and engaged to be Married..

Before Eric i was single for about 10 years(nothing)..no dating in that time...

But If you really want to be loved and love someone and have a relationship then i say dong GIVE UP...

If you have that little bit in ur head/heart..then that tells you its not your time to say ENOUGH

I know ken will agree with me on this, it is my pleasure and privelage(can't spell) to know you peg, your a great friend and i thank the lord your in my life...

Coming from you, that means so much!! Thanks Peggy.
