<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

I've been around the block with dating. I've had boyfriends and dates since I was in middle school. I've had multiple long-term relationships, a couple multi-month long ordeals, and a few things that fizzled after a date or two. I've been technically single for a year, but I've been on some dates.

I'm so jaded. It's bad and pretty excessive. I've been cheated on, lied to, led on, etc. and I know this has happened to everyone, but how can I combat these thoughts and stay positive?

For example, these days I'm really not even interested in dating because I figure every dude I go out with is gonna end up a liar or a cheat anyway, so why bother? On first dates I'm trying to figure out if he's a pedophile, a sociopath, I mean what is it? (No shit, I did date a guy who was a sociopath last year, and when I found out, I couldn't have run faster) What's wrong with this one? I see people married for 30 years who lie and cheat on one another. My friends tell me their coworkers all go out of town and have double lives in other cities and lie to their significant others. I don't hear much about happy relationships except for my parents, who are so in love that they're renewing their vows this weekend. This is the only successful love story I see. Statistically, any relationship is doomed to misery, and my experiences are starting to align with that notion.

I've raised my standards and I don't date the type of dudes I did a few years ago. Recently, I dated a guy a few years older than me who had a great job, great apartment, good family, etc. and it all checked out. He turned out to be a total dud and started treating me like a booty call.

I've been to a few therapy sessions, but bizarrely enough, my therapist has said she isn't sure how to help me. I just want to stop feeling like every guy is a piece of shit. I want some hope again. How do I find it? I'm going to take a break from dating for a while.
<bot>: I'm jaded and think everybody sucks. Taking a break from dating is what I'm doing now. How else can I stop being so jaded?
