An all-time low

hi,
i feel like i've reached an all-time low with regard to dating. a little background: i'm 37, never married, a few serious relationships, a lot of not-so-serious dating. i'm on match and continue to have disappointing, bizarre experiences. out of about 7 guys i've gone out with recently, i've liked 3. the first one was a huge handful and very needy and negative. the second one seemed great, but disappeared after 2 dates. recently i had another good date with someone and we were supposed to go out tomorrow night, but he had to cancel. he told me he wanted to be honest with me. he said he really wants to see me again, but screwed up and had ANOTHER date tomorrow night that he forgot about. i don't think he was even going to call and tell me. i have just hit a wall with dating. i know the answers -- take a break, stop looking, etc. but the truth is, when i stop looking/trying, nothing happens. i want to meet someone. i don't need to get married -- i just want a boyfriend and i don't want to have to pretend that i don't. to add insult to injury -- i've called the first guy (the needy, negative one) a few times and he doesn't return my calls. i know i'm just calling him for attention and i know that's wrong. but now on top of everything else, i feel like a total fool. just need some encouragement/advice/something...
thanks...neppi

but my mind needs to catch up to my wallet -- to not just go through the motions of doing things for myself but feel the reason WHY. i think i'm getting the hang of this... thanks!
