Should I just give up on dating?

Dear Ron,

I can't seem to hold on to a boyfriend for more than a few months, although each one tells me I am the most beautiful and personable woman they have met in a long time. It seems to me that most men will be dishonest about their feelings to obtain premature intimacy and when it doesn't take place in a short period of time, they dump the woman with no explanation. I have been so disappointed by this behavior in men that I don't believe anything a man says and have been thinking about not dating any longer.

Please advise,
Disappointed Dater

Dear Disappointed,

Don't stop dating. Your eloquence and sincerity shows that this would be a horrible loss to the good men you haven't met yet. Worse, it would be a cop-out on your part, and you know it.

Go out. Have a blast. Date as many men as you can. Most will drop away; one or two will surprise you. Really surprise you. Subscribe to meet other singles today.
