At 28 I haven't reached that point. I keep to myself a lot, I'm used to living with nothing but cats...but I still like spending time with people and I absolutely still want a romantic relationship.
do you get to an age where you just give up?

I've had a lot of romantic ups and downs this year.
I don't think it's in me to completely give up, but I welcome the solitude right now.

idk if i gave up. at around 31, i was finally ok with the thought of not marrying. my plan was to look after my parents as they got older. i really liked that plan.
those plans kinda got interrupted.
The struggle is real.

On the bright side, giving up is a good thing. I mean, isn’t insanity doing the same thing over & over again, expecting different results? 
After my husband passed away, I seemed to navigate toward men who reminded me of my spouse in one way or another. I’d even ignore red flags because I wanted so badly to have that closeness again and do the fun things we once did together. After enough disillusionment, I finally gave up ~ not on wanting to be in a relationship, I’m still open to that. But I surrendered my unrealistic ideas of the right guy to God and am trusting Him to provide one… or not.
Either way, it’s all good because I don’t have to deal with that restless energy of looking for a "soul mate" anymore so long as I'm resting and trusting God. Father knows best.
