I hate dating

I'm completely losing all hope of finding anyone to settle down with. All my relationships (term meant in a broad sense) just turn to complete shit.

I've been seeing a man, only for a month or so, but already that's running it's course (my instincts tell me). I am aware he doesn't have a lot of time- He's a vet and 100% dedicated to his job which I completely admire and appreciate. But he found the time to see me/speak to me when he was pursuing me, but he seems to have lost interest- Never having time to see me or even respond to a text.

It's just one disaster after another, and I am starting to panic. All my friends are attached. Starting to feel like there is something wrong with me. This latest disappointment makes me feel like - fuck it - I never want to date again. I feel so sad/let down/hurt every time things fuck up- It's stupid how shit I feel over this guy when I barely know him.

And I read threads on here about all the cheating husbands and again just feel like what is the point. I am only in my early 20s, but have had one too many let downs. I keep telling myself I can't keep going through this and setting myself up for so much shit. It's pathetic how I get after a break up- last time I had to take a few weeks off work I just completely broke down and we were only together for 8 months.

I don't really know why I am posting... For a moan, some insight, someone telling me they met the love of their life after a string of failed relationships... I don't know. Just feeling shit right now.

I think that the man cooling off after sex is a convenient way for them to keep their options open but I do agree that they love the chase and when they get what they want they loose interest.
I think having a busy and exciting life is the way foward. I do think that the pressure that society puts on women to find a man is enourmous and counter productive which is why women stay in shite relationships.
I have finally decided that I cannot be arsed to wait for Mr Right and that I want to concentrate on me , my dd and enjoying the freedom to do what I want. Plus I can openly perve without guilt! Vibrators are great and they don't generally answer back or try to tell me what to do etc!
