Did he get the point though, or was it like talking to a brick wall?

Also, don't let it get you down. Dating is hard. I can't count how many women I went on dates with before I found my wife. The point is that you never give up and never surrender to the loneliness. You sound like you are an intelligent well informed person. You will discover your equal one day that is worthy of you.

I sincerely wish you the best of luck. You will discover your soulmate.
