I'm sorry for your disappointment. Try to remember, the vibes you put out in to the world will be what you draw back to you. Try to stay positive and hang in there
Thanks......Hey, I'm gonna be fine.

I wouldn't call it negative thinking. I just stopped building up that huge expectation. I don't assume it's going to go bad right off the bat lol. There's a positive outlook but I don't set myself up for disappointment. When I was dating I went always went out looking forward to the date but never said "this is the one".

There is a saying - fire leads to ashes - meaning high expectations lead to disappointment. There is a difference between keeping yourself from building up something to unrealistic levels in your mind and just being a wet blanket, the first option can save you a lot of pain.

When I was dating, I had a lot of fun and laughs. But, that's my personality. I've had a bad date here and there, but even then I was having fun.
