I'm sure we've ALL heard that saying, and also believe it... so then why is it when ONE person lets you down or rejects you...you believe everyone else will feel the same way?
When you take the "I'm no good" position. It gives yourself the permission to sulk, and have pitty partys. It's like the first step of the greaving process. Then we get angry. It helps take back control of our feelings. Then we get even, some in bad ways and some in good. Get even.. live a happy life..
I packed up and moved 100 miles, to take that chance. But I bet on myself! Not on the love! I planed it out. I had to ask myself am I willing to live there even if things don't work out? and had enough cash to do so. love is not a dream. It's like a 10 car pile up. you can never tell if anyone got hurt till you get into it..
now see, thats the first decent thing i heard out of your mouth! and happy for you even if you are a total a**hole to me...and i dont dislike where i landed...love it here and look forward to working and doing what i need to do.
In fact, I refuse to feel rejected by anyone who hasn't actually spent some quality time with me in person. I'm not about to allow myself to feel rejected just because someone has rejected the opportunity to get to know me.
Rejecting an opportunity to get to know me is not at all the same thing as rejecting me.
Also, as far as I'm concerned it's totally superficial to claim to know someone that you've never met in person.
So it would be impossible to reject me if you haven't actually been with me in person. The best you can do is reject the opportunity to meet me which is a totally different thing.
But even if one woman should happen to decide that I'm not what she's looking for I'm certainly not going to assume that every woman would feel the same way. Everyone is different.
If you feel you're being shot down Kris its only by those who are afraid to take up the challenges as you did..and would now like to say "i told you so"...the journey of a million miles begins with the first step...
It took a lot of courage and determination to do what you did...and though they may not have worked out for you now...at some point, in some way it will!
I still say you are an inspiration to some of us that would like to "take a risk"...because we know it CAN be done...regardless of the outcome...it is empowering to take charge of your life...Ten years from now when some people are still sitting in front of their computers wondering "what if i had..."...you will know the answer because YOU DID!!
I second that Dreamer... Life is about taking risks and chances and it is damn scary. It is way easier to find reasons for not doing something. But you never have to have the what ifs, you did it. And that is a whole lot more then any of us can say. So even if you're hurting right now, try to see it as something positive. We all learn something out of every situation.
Awwww thanks...but Im not hurting...a few have been a**hole here on CS but as I stated, I have no regrets...not at all...love the Atlanta area and have already began to look for work. I might even be able to get on with my old Lottery job. The main office is in Alpharetta, GA and I have a few friends that are department managers. The traveling technician job seems it might be my cup of tea ROFL I have a dinner date this weekend with a friend and Shelby n I are looking forward to that. So all is not lost...chin is up and I have some goals set!! Thanks for the support!!!
awwww hon..what blind man rejected you??? He needs to come read the threads with all of us backing you up and rallying around you! And then YOU can reject HIM for being unworthy of your good soul!
i have a new concept about all this dating computer business. sometimes i see a single = they contact me = i talk them = they hang up on me, hate my guts, etc.... This is probably a commom experience. And then I see them online 2 months later! and they are probably still hanging up on people. so watts up with the "single" people? maybe we are just a new breed of people. like albinos. albinos have pink eyes and very few people are albinos. so maybe we are singles - but for a reason we have not discovered yet. for myself, i just wanna know more about computers so I can get computer jobs, etc... I mean, how much can one know or not know about computers? Computers are like the NEW GOLD RUSH, and the concept of combining computer power with old fashion soap operas is just crazy. we don't really realize what computers are doing to us, but watt ever it is, THEY ARE DOING IT FER SURE. I can read and write and speak chineze and have contacted girls in china and then called them on the telephone and talked to people who are LITERALLY on the other side of the earth. CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT IT IS LIKE TO SPEAK READ WRITE CHINESE? i wish everyone had this knowledge.
