Have you given up on dating before?

[Shole]

I gave up on it and tried to go solo and managed quite fine for 6 months and then I meet my current girlfriend who well changed my mind, for now XD
What about you have you ever considered just giving up on dating for a while to take a mental break?

 

[Laifot]

After a breakup it's really mandatory to take a break on that subject. I'm currently on that and i try to focus on myself, doing my things and growing up for the next time that fate puts me in that situation

I gave up for a long time. I jumped back into the game so to speak and now I know why I gave up before. I try not to take it personally and do have a lot of self compassion, but I sure feel defeated at times. There is only so much rejection one can handle before it takes a toll. I've been pretty successful at many things in my life, but dating is not one of them.

I've learned not to actively go seek a partner. If it's meant to be, it will happen when I least expect it.

 

[Sharon]

Yes. I gave up on dating and met my now husband a couple of months after. It's funny how that works out.

 

[JennyorAlice]

I'm like Sharon. I had given up on it until I met my current husband.

 

[MrDawn]

I gave up for 9 months or more in 2020 before meeting my girlfriend. I just wanted to be alone for a while and do what I wanted.

 

[Shavkat]

I do dating at random, but never tried to give up because I know that there is someone will be my perfect match.

No, I don't do random dating. I only date when I'm sure you are a perfect match for me
