Really down
Find a Conversation

I have been trying so hard to maintain an optimistic attitude, but I keep getting disappointed by dating.
Last night, I was supposed to have date #2 with a guy I really liked. Well, he called to cancel because he reconciled with an ex girlfriend between our first date (Tuesday) and the weekend.
It was like the straw that broke the camel's back. I broke down in tears after his call - not over this guy, but over being single in general. Each guy that doesn't work out is just one big, fat reminder that I'm alone still. Lately, I can't make it past date two, and I am so losing hope of ever connecting with someone in a meaningful way again. My last real relationship was more than a year ago, and I have had had a string of disappointing starts since then.
I know you will all say to focus on me, my friends, what I like to do, etc. The thing is, I already DO all that. I have a great life that I enjoy and great friends and family. Literally, the only thing missing is the special man with whom to share it. (Ok, that and a million dollars to travel the world in luxury). I think I have become as happy as a single person as I will ever be, and I still haven't lost the longing to be with someone long term.
Thanks for listening.

Hey there, TGC. I am sorry to hear that you are feeling in the dumps. No matter how great life is or how together you are as a person, it is perfectly natural to have these moments. Dating is stressful and difficult and it's better that you have these moments than to completely shut yourself off from the possibilities. I hope that you feel better soon.
