Take heart. I made plenty of poor choices and have thrown myself at totally inappropriate men looking for happiness and love. It took me YEARS to stop this cycle of self deception, sadness, betrayal, withdrawl, etc.
When I decided that it wasn't THEM, it was ME who had the problem, I stopping dating and concentrated on being happy within myself. Don't worry about friends who are dating, in love, getting married, having kids... they are not YOU! You have your own personal done-ometer (like what they put in turkeys that pop up when they are done cooking). Let your personal development come first, and don't judge yourself by others' standards. Think of yourself as a lifetime project, and a worthwhile one at that.
