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?

    You are too young to give up (I didn't meet my husband until I was 27). You SHOULD be cautious about relationships, that's called being a responsible grown up. But there's a huge middle ground between throwing caution to the wind and never trusting anyone ever again. I know how much it sucks to feel lonely and to want to share your life with someone. But, seriously, dude, desperation is a huge turn off. It is the total opposite of attractive. Stop worrying about marriage and kids when you don't even have a life. If you can't learn how to be happy on your own, you are not going to be happy with someone else. You can't expect another person to bear the reponsibility of making you happy. And why would any healthy, happy person want to hitch their wagon to a miserable sad sack? There are plenty of people to share life with -- just none of them happen to be your soulmate at the moment. If you could stop thinking about yourself for a few seconds, how about abandoned animals? elderly shut-ins? homeless? abused kids? lonely people who need friends? The world is full of sadness and depair and instead of thinking about your own, go out and try to lighten someone else's load.

    It was one girl! There will be plenty others for you to be with!

    You will find the right one! Do not give up all together. Don't rush to fall in love,

    just let it happen the way it's meant to!
