id have to say that if youre holding them to unattainable expectations then, no theyre not worth it. but if you realize that were all human, we all make mistakes and we are ALL (women included) attracted to the opposite sex then yes they are. ive been cheated on, lied to etc... all that good stuff we go through for men. but my current boyfriend has never lied to me or cheated on me. and every time i suspect him of doing so just from previous experiences, he has always proven me wrong. Like, ive always been terrified to show up unexpectedly or get off work early because im terrified that if i go over without his knowledge ill catch him doing something or being with someone. But every time I do this he is always doing exactly what he said he was and has the biggest smile on his face to see me. so i didnt think they were worth it until now.

and im assuming the guys you go for are the ones that "give you attention wherever you go". doesnt sound like those are the type of guys who are going to give you the love you need. and my T told me that, for someone like me who likes to get into relationships with people I can "fix", its more of a ladder type of deal. Like if my first boyfriend was absolutely horrible, my next one wont be as bad but still not good. Then every time I date someone who is a little less awful, it shows me that there are good people. And me seeing this makes me go for someone who is even better etc... (if that made any sense).

anyways... my main point is... i wouldnt give up if i were you. the feeling of loneliness for fear of being hurt is not worth it compared to the feeling of being truly loved if you find it.
