    you need to kiss a few frogs to find the prince! (that's how it goes, right?)

    i kissed a LOT of frogs for a LOT of years until i met my husband and i thought he'd run away too but he didn't :)

    Stop blaming yourself. There is NOTHING wrong with you. Don't change for a guy. They won't change for you, and you shouldn't change for them. Be yourself. If it isn't meant to be, it isn't meant to be. You will find someone...don't worry.

    However, maybe you should just ask. It might not hurt to find out why...especially if it will stop you from scrutinizing yourself.

    I think this is the worst dating advice in the world.

    Ladies.... we have to stop telling each other nonsense like this...

    1. There is NOTHING wrong with you- LIES. There's SOMETHING wrong with ALL of us. The BETTER advice is this: "EXAMINE YOURSELF." WHAT'S wrong with you? Is it something you're willing to rock with and let the pieces fall where they may when it comes to dating, or is it something you'd rather NOT be an "attribute"? Step outside of yourself. Would YOU date you if you weren't you? Men chase. Women choose. Are you chasing more than choosing? "You will find someone" suggests that you should be on the chase and not the choosing end.

    2. Don't change for a guy- This is half true. DON'T change for a guy. DO change for yourself. But if you want a relationship and one of your personality traits is that you're clingy, naggy, and unable to express yourself without cursing, crying, or hitting, and you are chasing men off.... you MIGHT want to ".... change yourself for a guy."


    Understand, this is NOT me saying there's ANYTHING wrong with you. I don't know you and you haven't given enough details to judge. But I am saying don't listen to THAT type of advice. It's pacifying and it's not fair.

    Best answer I have seen in a long time. Honesty!

    nothing wrong with being single...until you start crushing on someone hard that doesn't pay attention to you or until hormones kick in :P

    Honestly I think you are gorgeous! So the only thing I can figure is this man was just scooting out of the way for the "right one"to come along. You only need one... :smile:

    ... my dating range is 35-45 because I don't want immaturity, but that's all I find. ...Boys will be boys no matter what age. I'm thinking maybe I'll try 28-35 now. lol. Trial and error!

    The Law of Attraction says you will get what you put out into the universe. Perhaps you should start looking at individuals and not age brackets... and deeply reflect upon yourself and what you have to offer.

    Ugh....so I'm not sure what is wrong with me. But yet another guy just disappeared....Asked me out on a few dates....I thought they went well....all of a sudden the texts slow down and then nada. I just don't get it. Used to blame my weight....now I'm afraid its just me haha. Ugh...sorry just wanted to vent :(

    Maybe he just wasn't that into you, in which case you don't want him anyway. NEVER settle for someone who's settling for you...if you aren't the person he wants, you will always feel "less than" and everyone deserves more than that.
    Good luck! :o)

    Give up dating. Dating is horrible. Actually it's evil. In Medieval times it was used as a method of torture, outweighed only by the Iron Maiden in terms of sheer hideousness.

    But I digress.

    Give up dating and trying living.

    I don't think I ever went on a "date" when I finally got a clue. I went to events I liked or wanted to do with a person who's company I wanted to experience. I don't think I ever enjoyed a date but I enjoyed spending time with interesting women without expectation.

    Dating sets up a forced structure which saps the pleasure out of what you are doing.

    Try living. Be free. And when you do it makes you instantly desirable.

    <<<<< The voice of experience.

    That bill is £1,000. I accept cheques.
  • I have been going through the same thing. It's for sure, frustrating. Hang in there! :) Focus on you and your health and before you know it, Mr. Right will appear when you aren't looking...or at least that's what people keep telling me. I'm holding out hope! You look great and if a guy can't see that, then they aren't worth your time.

    This is going to come across as really rude, and I don't mean it that way (I even had to tell this to one of my best friends one time), but if you consistently have the same problems with men and relationships, the problem isn't the men, it's you.

    Instead of looking at what jerks guys are or whatever, ask yourself what it is that YOU are doing that results in a relationship/potential relationship ending.

    Are you consistently seeking out the wrong type of man in general? Are you exhibiting a behavior that drives men away? The old "there are plenty of other fish in the sea" saying is absolutely true, but instead of fishing forever only to catch a few small ones, it's a lot more efficient to figure out what you're doing wrong, fish for a little while, catch the big one, and call it a day.

    Remember, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting to get different results :)
