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?

    The answer is NO. You feel hurt and that is normal. Who wouldn’t feel hurt? But that is part of life and you need move ahead. You need to meet other people, even if you’re shy. Spend more time with friends outside the home. Find social groups that have similar interests. You’ll meet other friends and other women. It’s probably going to hurt for a bit, which is OK. But wallowing in your depression is a bad way to go.

    No, you should never give up. I believe that there's someone out there for everybody and maybe that's just wishful thinking, but I still choose to believe that. Someone will appreciate you for who are.

    You don't have to pretend to be happy, in fact you should be sad. Those are healthy feelings to have when wanting to be loved or have a relationship. That only means that you want more out of life, which is more than some people could say. Stay true to who you are and don't give up on love. Everything happens when it's supposed to happen.

    I think you should find a hobby or job that makes you happy, something you enjoy doing. Work on your self, work on the things you don't like of your self and embrace the things that u do like. Once a girl comes around, give her a chance. Never give up on what you want. It will find you. You just have to be patient for it. In the meantime exlpore things on your own, find other stuff that makes you happy, happiness will always find you.
