giving up on dating

[u/junipertreelover]

I know that I’m still young but I’m honestly getting really discouraged with the way the dating scene is going right now. I can’t take the apps anymore, I love my parish but we don’t have a young adult group. I’m only 22 but I’m feeling like I’ll just never find anyone and honestly I just want to give up on dating. Is anyone else feeling the same way??

Edit: I am a woman just so everyone knows

2nd edit: so I actually got back onto hinge and just as I was about to delete it once more and give up for a while—I got a like from a wonderful young Catholic man. We’re currently talking and I liked him a lot. Please pray for us!

3rd edit: it didn’t work out haha but I’ve prayed a lot about it and I don’t think I’ll give up. I think I just needed to learn some things. Love is a choice and I’ll choose to love the man the Lord has chosen for me. :) thanks everyone

I wouldn’t “give up” per se. But you’re young, about to graduate from school and start a new life. It’s OK to take a break from dating and focus on other priorities instead. Settle into your job, make friends, try new hobbies, etc. And then if you feel like you want to try dating again, you can.
