Have you ever just "given up?"

[Jade]

I was just wondering if anyone ever essentially "gave up" on ever finding a match... and basically decided to be eternally single.

If so... have you stayed that way... AND if SO... are you happy?

Just curious.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Snuggles Jade tight There have been times when I settled.....when I might have been able to find someone better if I hadn't of given up.

I think everyone has...

but then someone comes along and you think 'maybe this is the one'

but don't lose your faith. the right one will show... they always do

i never activly tried to find a match....
if it happens, Great... if not, no big deal... i'm happy with myself...

to me, being alone doesn't mean being lonely...

I can't answer your question Jade, at 29 I don't wanna give up just yet. Besides he may be on the other side of the world from me, but I do beleive I've found the "One" for me.

Anyway what do they say? ... As soon as you stop looking, he'll walk around the corner.

Maybe you need to stop looking at the moment and let him find you.

Good Luck.

Nope never.
I may be burned, I may go all the way down. But I'll never give up.

Not given up, exactly....more like I'm not expecting to find Mr. Right.

I had the hubby when I was young and I was full of love and trust. When that is destroyed, it's hard to think about trying to recapture what was lost.

Am I happy? Yes - but my happiness does not depend on someone else. Do I have a significant other? Nope, so I'm a bit lacking on the cuddles and sex department.

If Mr Right or Mr Almost-Right walks around the corner, I won't run from him, but I suspect he will have to be a bit patient with me. I'm not sure I'd recognize him right away.

You said it well and to the point. I agree. I will add though that it can be frustrating to say the least on the sexual front.

Wouldn't say I've given up, but I've learned to be happy as a single male. Things are rough when you see others happy with their loved ones. But you can't let that discourage you to atleast keep faith that the right person is out there. Basicly, I'm thinking "As long as I'm still living, there's still a chance."

I did give up after a while but then I found out that it's when you aren't looking for someone that they always pop up. I swear that Fate loves to play games with all of us but when he/she finally gets its act together then the one right person for you shows up, and usually when you least expect it.

Life can be funny in that, even when you find the right one, and commit to them, you still wonder "what if". I'm happy, at least i think i am, but there are still those times when after 14 years i think, "I wonder what it would be like to be single" so i guess there are ups and downs to every side of life. No relationship is easy, not lasting relationships anyway, so try, try again, and my your soul mate be just another step closer today than yesterday.

I just now read these responses.

You are some really amazing people.

Thanks.

OH... anyone have any clues on what it would take to get a bartending position in a place like Ireland or Iceland?

 

[CreamyLady]

Yes, I have. However, miracles occur, and one can find someone under the damnedest circumstances.

 

[OUTSIDER]

Yes and yes.

Actually, yes, I do. After doing research out the butt on a trip I'm taking to Europe, I've learned a lot of stuff that isn't quite useful to me. As for bartending jobs and other things like that, it depends on your citizenship. If you are an American, its quite hard, though you can sometimes get an under the table job. If you are an EU citizen, things are quite easy as the freedom of movement and workers. If you are a an Aussie or Kiwi, its quite probable to get a work permit similar to Britain's Work Holiday Visa. I believe each country is different though the Schengen Agreement might cover this. Look into the countries web-pages for the Home Office or what not.
