giving up on dating (19)
froggy1: So, I haven't dated for about 3 years (I've been going to school and have had a lot going on in my life). I just started dating again about 3 months ago and it is already driving me crazy. Maybe I just don't have the personality for it. I really am not very good at it. And everyone suggests that I play the dating games (for example, pretend that you don't like him as much as you do). I don't want to get involved in the dating games. I just want a relationship that is honest.
Does anyone have any good advice? I am ready to give up on dating right now but know that I shouldn't give up that easily. Or maybe I should?
I guess that I just need to vent my feelings and need some encouragement, if anyone has any to give.

You haven't had a date in three years because you are called Froggy.

I'm not that good at it myself, I figure just take your time and keep your gaurd up. We have our entire lives to find someone special so there really should be no rush.

You gotta kiss a lot of Prince's, before you find your Froggy2

I checked out your profile and your very pretty and a real catch, take your time and don't settle for just anyone, there is a boy out there just for you and you will meet .

Didn't say I haven't had a date in 3 years. I have been dating a lot in the last 3 months, which is the problem.
Anyway, at least you can say that the name froggy is unique. Even if it is a little bit strange.

Well you first need to think of you and what you want from life, you have done your school part and sounds like you want to live life to the full again......Its great that you can vent your feelings and if i can give you the encouragement you want i would......when i read about your stage in life i think back to when i was there, and realise that it was me who stopped me being happy now i live by my motto "life is to be enjoyed not endured"....If i make mistakes well i try to learn from them so i dont repeat them......I do wish you lots of fun and laughter .....

Thank you. You are very sweet.
Not sure if I believe that there is someone out there "just for me" but it is a nice thought.

Thank you for your reply. I think that I need to have more fun in dating and just enjoy the moment for what it is.

My senses are telling me that you are a very introvert person.
The only way to feel normal is to deal with people. The more you grow apart without learning how to deal with them, the more weird you will feel.
Dealing with people teaches us they get through stuff, how they deal with situations.
Don't go partying, get drunk, listen to what people have to say about love!
Giving up dating? That's weird at your age
A break?
but then what break in your case?

Dating games - pretend that you don't like him as much as you do???????? hhm ......... why not just be REAL and GENUINE?
As well, if you're dating sooooooooo much, is it a lot of different people ? How can you get to know anyone that way? Or is it - one date and I don't see any potential to take it further?
Take it as the opportunity to fine-tune what you're looking for in a man .......... discover what you like and what makes you go "yuck". Consider it was making new friends - because that's really where it has to start ...... have fun and enjoy yourself. If a guy's pressuring you - he's not the one. Find the one that's really into you.
If you want to play games, I suggest darts, pool, etc. Don't pretend - its doing yourself a disservice and probably confusing the guy that you do like.

I hadn't dated either for 3-4 years. Just in the last month or so I jumped back into the dating pool. I think most people are so hung up on finding Mr/Ms Perfect that you are missing just the simple fun of dating. If you go into every date think I know this will be the ONE, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. I just go with the flow. If I happen upon someone who is extra special.....all the better. If I don't feel the chemistry....I just enjoy the dance.

Hello Joanne,I sure hope that happens for me too.------ This thread is Archived ------
Claayer: No.. there are LOTS of people out there.. Just for you .. it's just a matter of finding one of them..
Yup!! However, I really believe that sometimes we're just given the "red light".... And just have to wait patiently for the "green light" when things will begin to happen.... Doesn't mean sitting back and waiting doing totally nothing to help things happen, but - just don't despair, it may very well be that this is not the right time yet (for whatever reasons).
Also, dating is not really supposed to be all fun - it's a trying occupation for sure, and of course most of the people would not turn out to be the right one, but ya gotta go through it to increase the chances of finding the one...
