What to do if you cant decide on an opening?

Hi,

When I started playing chess, I liked d4 and had good results with it. But everyone else played e4 so then I played d4 and e4, depending on what I felt like playing. But I *ALWAYS* lost against the French, and there are so many replies to e4 and d4 I gave them both up.

So a few weeks ago I started to play f4 and now I'm playing Nf3 Sad

I have no idea what opening to settle on. I like Nf3 and f4, but there are never any grandmaster games with those openings. So while watching the candidate matches on playchess, while reading books and reading things online, I always think "damn why cant there be any games with my openings. If I played e4 I would learn so much more than all these games going to waste...."

So can someone please help me decide what to do? I really dont know what I should play as white....

Edit: Forgot to say that as black against e4 I'm just starting to learn the pirc, and against d4 I have always played d4 (and theres no way I'm leaving my KID Smiley )

Any help appreciated,
Alien Chess
