give up

hang in there. things will pick up when you least expect it.

You're probably doing the right thing.

Focus on what you want for a while and if the right kind of woman does cross your path eventually you'll have more clarity to recognise her.

Ah, cheer up dude! Things will turn around, but its probably right you're having a rest for a bit.

Attitude has a lot to do with how we are treated by others, and my gut reaction when someone says he or she is being "fucked over" by others is that he or she has probably done some fucking over too. Addtionally, when we are stressed due to family, job, relationship, money, health, and other issues, we tend to get a bit down, and that impacts how we feel regarding just about everything else.

So, yes, I concur with the above advice. Give it a rest for a bit, but know that things as a rule do improve eventually.

A month later and still in pretty much exactly the same situation, still horribly alone and even fruther depressed by that fact

You know.... being single does have it's advantages too.

Quit Hunting. Your overturning rocks and finding worms.

Your young. Live life, live it up. Socialize with the goal of making acquaintances only.

If they don't want you....screw em. There are plently of other people that do!

Sending warm hugs your way.
I can't offer any advice but I can offer a hug and a kiss.
