So for the last 2-3 years I've been making more effort to 'get out there' and see how it might go for me in the dating world, up too about 25 I wasn't ready for a whole lot of different reasons. I tried to meet women in both the real world and online because to me each is a valid way to start.

Long story short it's been a lot of false starts, some of them were just initial contacts where it was swiftly apparent there was not any potential, a few times there was more time spent but they also died away, most recently I thought I was there and then out of the clear blue sky it went from all to nothing overnight.....a situation I am still unable to comprehend.

I have often seen 'the gift of singleness' mentioned here, simply put my question is how many times can you be rejected before you start convincing yourself this is the way and the truth of your life?

I'm a patient person and I've no burning need to marry tomorrow but I am wondering if this is just one a of a thousand ways a person might console themselves after yet another breakdown or if there is indeed a message.

Just looking to hear some thoughts ;)

We can't read the future, I guess that's an obvious statement; we could believe we will be single forever one day and them BAM! the next day we meet our future spouse. What I mean is, life comes as it comes and we don't know how things will be; so we can only be certain that life is unpredictable and whatever conclution we might draw like saying "I will be singer forever" or "I'll never get married" can be easily dismissed by life's unpredictable behavior.
Lol so I guess my answer to the question is...life is unpredictable and we can never draw conclutions? Yes that's it lol.

Matthew, You are a treasure. You are sweet, thoughtful, wise, intelligent and adorable. I can't for a moment believe that you will remain single if that's not what you want. :)
