[quote=Anonymous]I think you've identified the flaw in your dating habits which is huge: focusing on one man then being disappointed when it doesn't work out! There's a reason other people don't date that way. We get too wrapped up in a person before we even know if they are a good fit.

I would try to approach dating as a numbers game/hobby. Each date, each conversation hones your skills so that you are more comfortable and able to show who you are so that you will truly shine in front of the right person eventually.

I tried to make dating as stress free as possible by having a set first date routine:
- trendy bar/restaurant within walking distance (don't have to spend money on Uber's and can get home almost instantly)
- always asked for a happy hour drink (didn't disrupt my sleep schedule)
- wore the same exact outfit/hair/makeup (not spending time fretting)

When I did meet people elsewhere I tried to have the mindset that this was an opportunity to explore a different part of the city, a new restaurant, and likely an entertaining story for friends. It helped, and I did meet my DH. Good luck if that's what you want, but it's also okay to pursue a joyous life in other ways![/quote]
