| Topic: Is failure your goal? | |

So many responses to choose from in this thread..
I would be more concerned about not taking the chance then failure. I think if you don't take the chances, you have already failed Amen...I have lived by if I don't try I am lost.. something I have taught my kids.. The people I date often read what I post and look me up or I give them my Mingle screen name and they either run away screaming or say Hell yea. lol Amen... If we stay true to who we are...Our posts give more insight into what we are.. I have had some run and others like it and want to know more..One reason I prefer dating a forum user..  Just got done throwing my resume at the EPA, let see if they too think I lack the experience. Even it they don't hire you at least you put in the effort... I think for me a true sign of failure is not to try in the first place... I didn't always think that way the last cancer I went through really changed my outlook on life. I decided then and there as I take my last breath I don't want to be thinking.... If only... IF I would have I should have... could have.... Nope none of these things in my life... |

You cranking out any home runs yet? Softball, right? I'm working on that. right now I'm lucky to make it to second. btw hacky sack takes skill and coordination. I'd fall on my face tripping over my own feet trying to do that   I can't make it to first base without stopping for a sandwich and fries!

REJECTION! Do you fear it so much you don't even make an attempt? If you don't ask, you have chosen the answer "NO" yourself. Go out on a limb! Roll the dice! Take a chance! What's the worst that can happen, you cross one more off the list? You aren't asking them to get married and have babies - you are asking to have an opportunity to get to know them. Heck, YOU may wind up NOT liking THEM once you do! Did you always land the first job you applied for? Did that stop you from asking for employment? Use that same persistence in your quest for love! I "flip the script" on dread - my goal is to be REJECTED at least once a day! One day I will FAIL to reach my goal! Discuss among yourselves, I'm off to the beach for my daily goal attainment session (plus the women are wearing swim suits  ) I really don't fear rejection. I do seldom meet anyone who I want to spend any significant amount of time with. I don;t think the employment analogy works because a job is something we need to survive and you can accept lesser employment hoping it will turn into something great or plan to keep looking while employed But to me relationships don't work that way |

Thank you for your delusional and misguided opinion - just kidding! The meaning of the analogy seems lost - and analogies are used to relate an idea not to be a literal translation...it was intended to state that you don't give up looking for the ideal job despite repeated rejection. So apply that same drive to your personal life. It does not imply one "settle for less than they desire" or "apply everywhere and accept the first thing that comes along". Believe me, I have "opened the package" and not liked the contents and decided to not spend another moment in her company. And I'm sure others have felt the same about me. That's just people for ya. But people stress over their love life as much, if not more so, than any other aspect of their lives. If they didn't, there would be no social web sites, no multibillion dollar dating industry, no viagra commercials. My advice is, was, and always will be, don't be afraid to go after what you want. Face your fear. I choose to go at it from the angle that I am going to fail, that way I'm not discouraged when I do. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself! Roosevelt says it and everyone applauds, I say it and people say "what a douche bag". I got Stella's groove and she wants it back! |

You aren't asking them to get married and have babies - you are asking to have an opportunity to get to know them. Heck, YOU may wind up NOT liking THEM once you do! On another site, I've had them to act like I asked them to fork. I've had them to act like, "How dare you contact me!!." "You are so below me!" Then I'm like, Wow!! |
