Granted I may have been romantically dormant for a while but I believe things can only get good. I still have time on my side, I'm finally comfortable with myself and I'm full of love (as always).

I'm about to embark on a change of area (nearer to family) and once I get settled with the right accommodation and the right job (may take a few moves /interviews) things will become exponentially better. Although I'm inherently modest I still believe that whoever I meet is in for a bloody good treat! Sorry to rant but this is my only way to keep the positive thoughts rolling.

Does anyone else have to think this way to get into an upward spiral or does it come naturally? These are true words tho, i do feel on the verge of something good

Similar situation here and I'm hopeful too. I hope things work out for us both. Since attitude tends to affect how we approach things being positive wil do us some good.

u see my problem is that I struggle to make a decision and stick to it. I've had millions of ideas over the last few years and not managed to commit to one for long enough. However I believe I'm heading down a path that sits comfortably between impulse and logic. And keeping on topic (well L&D at least), I'm glad that I have not had a girlfriend for a while because she would have met a person that was stuck in a rut with no idea where they were going.

I'm thinking as soon as I move out of my parent's house my life will improve.

It is great that you are getting some benefit from positive thinking.

Thanks for reminding me of the concept. It's something I have had to re-learn many times in life; that reminding yourself that positive outcomes are possible and setting attainable goals are a good way to get there.

There have been times when i have had to "lie" to myself, telling myself that if I stuck with a goal, that I would have a good outcome. Generally this worked. The outcome may not have been exactly what I was aiming at, but it generally worked well. Eventually the deprression lifted and I was able to function. When I have dwelled on my mistakes and predicted only failure, I have been less inclined to make the effort that was needed and, of course, I failed.

A positive outlook is valuable because it helps you keep going. It gives you energy to make it closer to your goals.

Good luck.

I don't think it, I just feel it.

My thinking is 100% negative, but when things are looking good they're looking good. :thumleft:

For me, a lot depends on how I become positive. However, positive thought is a field of study, and in relationships, it is especially important.

If you think it will improve your dating situation, that is kind of bad logic.


Try this:

- Go out and talk to girls. When they ask if you live on your own, lie and say yes.

-Any takers?



Chances are, living with your parents isn't why you can't get a girlfriend.

it's not that. My mom's a toxic influence over me, hell she's a narcissist and she gets her panties in a bunch when I go out. Basically, it's my parents that are holding me back.
