Do you ever wonder if you've just had your identity jostled or head messed with in too many ways from hard knocks to even be right for the dating scene anymore? Sometimes I feel like Will Smith in I Am Legend, like I'm simply run too ragged to go back.
OP, I think we all go through what you're going through right now....kind of an ebb and flow of psychological and spiritual energy (the kind that's necessary to feed hope - cause you've got to have hope in order to date). Dating, work, school, life....it all exacts a price. Every so often you just have to take the time to recharge. It's not an "end" or "stopping point" - just another turn in the circle of life.
But since you know that you're not feeling quite up to dating right now, just take a break. IMO, it's not a good idea to try to force yourself to be in a relationship when your heart's just not in it. If you meet a great girl, you won't be able to be the best partner you can be right now, and you'll both end up hurt and disappointed.
