I have an "eternal" problem with finding a girlfriend, and I've seen there's more people like me in this forum...

If I face it the Steve way I could say "I only gonna try with the women I really want" and ignore the rest. Maybe trying with someone you kind of like only is disempowering... you don't like her much, you hardly gonna get far together and you're gonna be frustrated. But if you go for the ones you truly like the most, maybe it's different.

Maybe so many time alone is a price to pay to find a quite ideal partner, instead of taking the "half way" and going with anyone... as it would be doing whatever job...
Songwriter,

Your job analogy is apt. Think about it this way:

Going out with someone you sort of like -> It's because you're trying to fill your void -> Bad.

Going out with someone you fall head over heals with -> It's because you're in love with that person -> Good.

Don't bother with people you kinda like. You deserve better! (not to say that people you kinda like aren't good people, but.)

I've been in your shoes. Perhaps you may enjoy reading my story of how I found her -- my wife.
