I know how you feel. I've become somewhat of a jaded person through the life experiences I have had. Honestly, though, I wouldn't change a thing about it. It has given me a very thick skin. Admittedly I have been having a rough time lately, but typically it is darn near impossible for things to get to me, and when they do it is even more unlikely that they'll stick for long.
Though it can be hard to see sometimes, from time to time you maybe just need to take a break and focus on you. But, you will find love some day, whether this guy actually shapes up and becomes that Mr. Right, or whether Mr. Right is still out there wondering where the Hell you are.
I may not have a very high opinion of humans after the life I've lived, and sometimes it is SO hard not to give up.... but I cannot and will not ever give up. I will no longer let people hurt me or use me and get away with it, but I will never stop searching for great new friends, for good people, and for eventually that one special gal. I may not believe it will ever happen, but that won't stop me from trying.
Don't give up on love. Don't let the scumbags of the world ruin your life experience. You don't deserve that. To Hell with them all. You TAKE your piece of the metaphorical pie.
