That happens to me sometimes maybe a lot of times and it ' s often best to take a break and focus on improving yourself for a bit . I ' m sure there are things you can do to improve yourself learn a new skill , lose weight , put on muscles , read more to improve yourself as a conversationalist , etc . You might also try rewriting your profile and getting new pictures and doing a critique here or at least reading the sidebar because there ' s some great advice in there that can really improve people who take the time to consider and incorporate the advice . I ' ve definitely felt like you do before , because I also don ' t feel like other avenues of meeting women are very effective , but ultimately since I don ' t want to be alone forever , the only option is to keep going and trying to get better .
