Dear bailey26:

How to stop hoping… well, I don’t think you can stop hoping to love-and-be-loved. I think you can stop hoping to love and be loved by him. Simply because he told you he is not interested. When you want water, and you can’t get it out of a rock, go to a stream where water is available.

Where would that stream of water be for you? Online dating? Where you can meet a man who will be available for you, motivated to be in a loving relationship with you?
