There is a point, where after so many failures a person can either continue, or step back and rethink

Posted by Truman Nov 2 '13, 14:45

I believe it's time for me to stop the online dating attempts for a while.

Part of that is due to traveling for work coming up, the other part is due to the depressing number of 2 dates and then the strikeout I have gone through in the last two years.

Between that and the new job, I am tired of being critiqued in contradictory ways. So that feeling of not being to do anything right is nawing away at me.

Like I told mop, ditiching the site is a good move. -- nm - ♠Spawn♠ Nov 2, 16:13
taking a break when you feel like that is never a bad thing. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 2, 15:34
Look for new friends, dating will come later out of those folks. -- nm - colin Nov 2, 15:31
I've quit online dating. You're a hero for sticking with it as long as you did. I couldn't take it. - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 2, 15:23

  - Same goes for you. Take a break, get your life going. Have some fun Holidays, and get that ego back up again. - Bacon Nov 2, 15:11
  - Bacon's post has some merit - the bit about picking yourself up and feeling confident - getting things in order before looking again - all great ideas - JenBro Nov 2, 15:05 1

As an Online Dating success story I will say this. I was beaten down over, and over, and over and over and over and over and over - Bacon Nov 2, 14:56 4
- I'll echo this. most relationships fail. don't worry about what something is going to be and just enjoy the ride and the search -- nm - Reagen Nov 2, 16:12 1
  - this. take each date as just that, a date, and not as the beginning of anything. It might end up being that but just have fun each time (or why bother - zork Nov 2, 16:48
- Oh and this too. - Bacon Nov 2, 15:05
- sounds like solid advice. Truman, you are a nice guy with a professional career, a home, and a car. Someone will recognise you as a good catch. - zork Nov 2, 15:04
