No expectations, no disappointments! When you try, you will fail sometimes or maybe more often than being successful. Life's a journey, not a destination...but it would be nice to have a freaking compass once in a while.
Did you seriously try recently to get that 'one' to notice you? Did you try sometime once and gave up? Do you have the right map and compass to get you that person you are seeking?

Yes and I got hurt a bit,so what.She was worth it and it wasnt really her fault. I'm open, upfront and straight to the point. It does kill the initial romance a bit,but when it really clicks the romance can revive itself easily if you have an open mind.
I have bumped into a firmen about a couple of months ago. He dropped his 12 cans of baked beans. I had been noticing him all the time in the grocery store up the street. So I helped him pick up his cans, and we are like buddies. Who knows?

It's a matter of faith - and not religious faith at that; having faith in yourself gives you that quiet 'non-desperate outlook' and then things just fall into your lap............... like when you visit a club and you never asked the dancer to do that, but she did!

sxc666: I did give up. I decided to focus my energies elsewhere, not saying it won't happen someday. But I'm certainly not looking if it happens it happens.
So you have decided to do the wait and let him come to me routine. Do you think this will work for you?

Its not a matter of him coming to me or me going to him. I have just decided to make study the focus of my life now.
I've built myself a path that I'm following, if I happen to take a sidewalk in between that will be fine, but it will take a lot for me to do that.
After study I would like to travel, now if that's solo that's fine, if it happens to be with someone even better. But I guess either way I'm not fussed over it.

No one gets through this dating 'thing' without some pain! Even if you are lucky enough to find that person quickly the journey with that person can be rough. The goal is worth the effort and the results are fantastic when it works.

I totally agree with this point. We must love ourselve first and like who we are. Others can see when we are confident, successful and happy in the things we do.

Most of us find someone when we least expect it. We all have kissed a bunch of 'frogs' along the way. Most will think I am nuts and crazy, but I also enjoyed the failures in dating. We can't just have happy and successful times. Life is a blend of ups-n-downs are you have put it.

Shymedoh: I'm looking for friendship first.
I know this is a popular point I see most women/people on this site express. Why do you limit your opportunities and deman friendship before you release your heart? This is one of the points I wanted to explore in this Thread. We get hurt. We build barriers. We make dating harder. Am I wrong?
