I guess I'm thinking a gamechanger is someone who changes your way of thinking. I guess if you aren't a pessimist who is only out to get booty, or someone who's been burned and is now jaded, or even someone who grew up seeing only bad relationships and has vowed never to get involved, it wouldn't apply. Kitty's example was a good one.

I have actually had the opposite of a gamechanger. I learned that when my instincts are telling me something, they are always, always, always correct. It doesn't matter how badly I want my insticts to be wrong. This year I have proven to myself that I definately have not met a gamechanger. In fact, I am more confident in my instincts then ever before.

IMO, I am not sure meeting a gamechanger a good thing.

That works, too. My preference was to keep the negative largely out of this topic, but I understand where you are.coming from.

I think you actually have to meet them...

that's what made me commit to them in the first place.


though, i wouldn't say i was left broken by any of them, i just took and learned what i could from the experiences and moved on a better person for having them in my life

That's not gamechanging then.

I was the gamechanger.

I've changed the way a couple of women think about guys of Indian descent. Many of the women I've been on dates with have told me that they are not into Indian men but they'll give me a pass because in their eyes I'm "not really Indian" (I was born and raised in UK, and I have a British accent). There seems to be a lot of negative stereotypes about Indian men in Los Angeles, and none of them apply to me!

After we've met they'll start saying things like "I never thought about Indian guys before, but I saw a really good looking guy at the store today"...and some of the ones I stay in touch with after we stopped dating end up in serious relationships with Indian men

Gamechanger?

One word:
a penis

I think it can happen. You always hear those stories of guys who don't want to settle down, then BOOM they meet someone who makes them want to settle down. I definitely think meeting the right person can overcome a lot of obstacles. Not any obstacles and not in every situation, but I'd like to believe sometimes people just click and anything in the way of them being together they move out of the way.
