I in the past couple of weeks have been able to gain more confidence when talking to the ladies. I met some great women and gaining more of a sense of what I can do to be more attractive to them. I have a feeling it will bear fruit in terms of breaking my lifelong (24 years) drought and I may be able to be more than just a friend with a lady.

Thanks.
I am very happy for you, that your life has taken a turn towards the positive. Self confidence is a very important thing to have in just life in general, not to mention relationship issues. Stand up tall with your head up!

I know sometimes it is much easier in life to just give up. I have had days, shoot, months like that! Once we lift our head up and realize that we are just as important as anyone else and that we deserve happiness things start to change.

I sure hope you keep this positive perspective in life, as it is nothing but a good thing.

You will encounter people who are negative and will want to bring you down. Let it fly over your head. I know I have a hard time with that, and I am still working on it.

At C-D, practice makes perfect! (You get plenty of practice here!!!)

This is awesome. Finally someone who took his defenses down, cast his pride to the side and listened to some of the posters here.

Seriously this is really good news to hear for us to read and for you to realize. A lot of people here know what they're talking about, and some things just take time and a little effort.

I'm not really going to look out for you to break that 24 year long drought lol, but I'm hopefully going to read about a good relationship from you, which will take you emotional state to a whole new level.

Best of luck man.

He's over-dramatizing. I think he's trying to compete with rabbit's 11-year drought. Which is now officially over, I guess, so now it's Diss's turn.

I know, Froggie. It's all just gentle ribbing at our pal, Dissenter. Nice of him to drop us a thank-you note, no? He's all heart.

I do owe you some thanks. If nothing else, you made me realize I was angry. With my upbringing and childhood, many people when I tell them about it, one common response I get is "I can't blame you for being angry." Honestly, you were talking to a very angry person when dealing with me who always wanted to fiercely return fire when challenged. Pride also had a lot to do with it. I'm not a rich guy, the two things I've always had an abundance of is anger and pride. But I realized that I need to deal with my issues to keep me from putting someone through what I had to go through as a kid.

I really want to put the personal issues I have with some here, including you, in my rear view and keep it moving. Am I going to voice myself when I disagree with some here? Yes. Am I going to bring some passion in my posts when I really feel my thoughts? Yes. But I'm going to make a conscious effort not to get personal. Honestly, two infractions in 30 days, makes you realize you need to look at yourself real quick.

HAPPY DAY!

THIS is who I always knew you could be!

GOOD FOR YOU

A man who can take a good hard look at himself and honestly acknowledge what he needs to work on in order to continue growing as a person, is a man on the right road to happiness and success.

Which, btw, is all I've ever wished for you

Thanks for the nice thread!
