Thanks. My confidence has always been what has made me very successful in dating...I'm sure it won't be long before I get it back and start having a clearer focus on who's worth pursuing in the first place. I obviously was taking a stab in the dark at this one.
(trying not to sound like a hard (hybrid donkey) know it all).... by what do you deem "successful" ? Although "shopping for a ring" might sound like "success", I am thinking "absolutely no regrets" is my definition (not to say I do not regret some (in heavy pain / drug induced state... not an excuse, I own everything) harsh things I said to Laura... ) as harsh as it sounds, I would far rather regret having a short list of things I regret doing than a long list of things I regret not doing.

It's a binary thing: there are 10 types of people- those who get it, and those who don't

OJ you know what I mean by successful. I mean exactly what you mean. I used to go into dating confidently and as such had no regrets if it didnt work out because I knew I was at my best and so...no regrets! But recently I have had so much self doubt that I know Im not putting my best foot forward. Thats when I feel regretful.
