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 give up on yourself. My uncle was a bachelor until he was in his forties and he was still as happy as he can be. When he turned 43 he met Tammy. Now they have been happily married for 6 years. It is never to late. Try and find more things that make you happy to do and pick up some hobbies. You don't need someone else to be happy. It is very nice but you can still be happy. Don't stress yourself out and try to enjoy the little things in life. I wish you nothing but the best in life and I hope you find your happiness. Everyone deserves to be happy.

    If you give up on dating, you're going to feel lonely and stuck all the time. Getting hurt...well, hurts. You'll get over it though and things will get better. You might stop going out of your way to date for a time, and just make some good friends. You could also try online dating; it's a perfectly acceptable way to meet people these days.
