Should I just give up and accept that some things are just not meant to be?

Okay, so this is my 'mans' situation. I went to go visit my friend yesterday, and listen to this! She was spending the day with her new friend, so I just went shopping alone and came back home. Kind of sad :( Not only was I looking forward to seeing my friend, but I was hoping to see GLG and at least exchange numbers. I would have approached him in a cute, "hey we should have exchanged numbers last time" kind of way. Nothing a little shopping therapy didn't repair. Now, this is the thing with older guy, when my work friend wanted to introduce me to him, he had just broken up with his girlfriend, so my work friend wanted to wait a while. So she said she would invite me to a party where he was going to be there. When I saw his picture, I wasn't too sure I wanted to meet him, but then I thought, "you know what...I have to stop being picky, and a picture means nothing, and he might be a great guy". So I agreed to the whole, meeting him thing. But there has been no word of a party yet...so I don't know whats going on with older guy. There was also Mixed Messages Hot Smart guy. He was the first guy I ever asked out, like 5 months ago. I'm still waiting for him to call. I saw him out once and he shook my hand! What does that mean? (Hence the name MMHSG). Oh, you know what 's weird...yesterday I got like a million text messages from people I haven't talked to in a month. It was an interesting way to end my day. So my question of the day is...oh I can't think of one...okay here it is: Would you give up on GLG, or try to think of ways to hook up?
