Desperate to find true love?

I was the same way. I assumed every guy I met was "the one" and I was hurt every single time that I started talking to someone.

What she needs to do is realize that she has to realize and accept that most guys aren't going to be the one or even any kind of friend. She also has to be careful where she meets these people. You meet online, through websites...it's usually NOT going to go well AT ALL. Trust me. It's hard to communicate through internet, phone, etc. It's also easy to get bored of one another...esp a guy if the girl isn't their type.

I spent about a year on match.com/eharmony.com. I haven't been on those sites in almost 8 months now, but when I was...I talked to A LOT of guys. In just a few months time, I would talk to guys, plan to meet, then we ended up just not doing it. It's hard.

I ended up getting used to that. I ended up being able to train my mind in a way where I would lower my expectations...and I mean...I would look at a guy and not think he's going to be the one. It made the rejections and stuff less depressing.

You need to tell her that she needs to change her mindset, her attitude, and to be positive. She also needs to find guys in person, not online.

Good Luck. It's nice to see people caring this much for one another. =)

If you feel like your words are having no effect that tells me you've tried and she won't listen. Think about Taylor Swift. Stuff is being printed about her a lot that she needs to consider she is the problem and not the boys she's dating but she keeps on doing it, and has admitted to magazines that she basically lives in a dream world or something. If your friend won't listen there isn't much you can do with your words. Maybe leave some magazines sitting out or something that have articles that talk about girls who keep doing the same thing over and over again. Maybe she will read them. Or since she won't listen to you you could look up some online articles about women who keep getting hurt by guys and find one that tells nicely what their problem is. You could always print it out and give it to her in a note or something.

It really is her own choice. Perhaps she needs to look for a different type of man.

you can't do anything. Not at all. She needs to learn on her own that it can't be the way she thinks. you can't change the way she thinks or feels.

Its her problem, not urs. shes an adult and is capable of making her own stupid choices.
