Dating is a crapshoot. As people who have already gone through at least one failed relationship, we can now take that experience and narrow down our choices - weeding out those we know won't be a good fit. The silver lining to each failed relationship is that each time we can narrow down what we are looking for further, increasing our chances of success (as long as you commit to not repeating the same mistakes over and over, as many do).
In the end though, it's still a roll of the dice. That's why some people get lucky the first time out and others roll a few snake eyes before finding the right person. Ultimately it becomes a test of endurance: how long are you willing to play before you either win or walk away from the table?
For me, as hard as it might be some days, I'll probably keep trying. The only other option is to simply accept that you'll never find someone, and I'm not quite that tired or bitter... yet
And for rykersprincess, I don't think it's necessarily a reflection of your ability to choose. I mean, it might be a factor obviously, but ultimately I think a lot of relationships sour for other reasons. You might have picked the perfect guy for you ... but people change, or we find out more about them, or we learn they haven't been truthful about themselves. We try to make the best choices we can but none of us have enough information early in a relationship to be 100% certain.
Just try to be as certain as you can be and roll the dice. There is only so much we can control in the process.
