<human>: I've been single about a year and a half now, and at this point I would really like to find someone that I could have a fun time and solid relationship with.

My problem is this, I keep going through experiences where I date someone and it keeps being alright.  I enjoy their company, but I'm not really attracted to them, or they aren't attracted to me, or they have to leave town really soon, or I can tell that they plain just don't feel all that excited about me.  Then there are people that I'm excited about that aren't interested in me (or are too far away, or are in relationships, etc...).

I've found that after a few of these things, dating just starts becoming hard.  Approaching people is difficult, it's hard to start up conversations and find people that have mutual interests and such.  After a while it becomes easier to just do nothing and hang out alone.

I broke it off with someone I was dating a month or two ago (or rather, they moved out of town, and we didn't feel like there was that much attraction) and I've noticed that since then I just haven't taken the energy to focus on meeting people and trying to get people's numbers or ask people out.

However, I know that in order to find a good relationship with a cool person, it takes effort on my part to go forth and make connections, I realize I'm not going to meet anyone just hanging around.  But at this point, my attitude toward dating is sort of bitter and wonders why I should try.  I've been in love before, and I want that again, but it just doesn't seem like a spark happens anymore.

What do you guys do when you feel down or discouraged about relationships such that it doesn't make you feel inspired to try anymore?

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: I'm feeling uninspired about dating these days after so many "meh" experiences, but I really want a relationship, it feels easier to just hang out alone than try to force something that hasn't been working, advice?
