Should I give up? 10 points!!!?

Im 20, never been in a real relationship. All I want to do is settle down and what not. The girl I loved and was with 9 months decided to go off and do her own thing (travel etc) without any warning or even her talking to me about it. After that Im very cautious about Dating because that hurt. And theres alot of other things that have happened in my life that has made me very cautious about relationships.

Now to my questions: Should I give up on dating all together? how do I be happy while feeling lonely and stuck?? What if no one else dates me? How do I pretend to be happy when life sucks?? What do I do if Im simply not meant to get married and have kids etc?? how do I find enjoyment out of life knowing I have no one to share it with?

    Don't stress, worry about man, all the pieces of the puzzle will come together, you just have to be patient. For now I would say take a break, relax go vacation with a family member or a friend and just worry on about you, you're only 20 that's when you should really enjoy life and get out there and explore. To stay happy? Find something to make you laugh like a movie, or video game, go out to places like fun places or a restaurant, when you're busy so is your mind. If you feel lonely like I said just take a friend, or a family member don't worry too much on if you're gonna get a girl yet, later you wil, time will come. Yes it sucks, I've been hurt before, hardest thing ever to move on but really distract yourself!! Make your life a memory! To remember GOOD times when you're old.

    Hope I helped!

    Get well my friend!

    Good luck!

    First off, your 20. You should enjoy being young and doing the things you want! But, btw, dating is a roller coaster. Don't give up just because of one thing. Yeah it hurt, but that's the point, it's a lesson to learn from. Try hanging with friends or try an online dating site.

    your only 20 so you won't meet the perfect girl until your at least 25 or more. Some people know who it is when they are 20, but you might not be one of these people. Enjoy it, look for the one to settle down with at the same time but don't stress about it!

    Before you enter a relationship make sure that you are a happy person and you already find the happiness within yourself. Happiness shouldn't be found on the other person it is found in us that make a couple even more happier.

    You're twenty years old, dude.

    Way too young to be giving up.

    I'm also twenty and have never been in a REAL relationship.
