To me it stinks to meet people that you like, but who aren't available. Maybe they're taken already, maybe they just don't have the interest in you, or maybe too many differences. Whatever the reason it becomes wearing to meet people but still not be able to change things.
First, let me say welcome back. I'm glad you're feeling better. Also, I get what you're saying. It can certainly wear a person down sometimes.
Speaking from personal experience, to meet someone who completely blows you away then have various things standing in the way of even a real shot of it stinks. Plus, it's incredibly rare that anyone even gets my attention in that way to begin with...and even raises the bar higher...as in, "Will I ever meet another that compares to her?". Hmm.
Also, at times it is challenging to keep a positive attitude. I have my moments for sure, but have mostly done well with it recently. We'll see if that keeps up. I am more emotionally independent than the average person, so I could understand how a lot of people would find that even more difficult than myself. eek. Not fun.
Personally, I find the Rubix Cube kinda challenging. I don't know if that's just a singles thing or not. I'd love to get some feedback though. Maybe someone else has faced this and can suggest ways of overcoming it?
If they still make them like they used to, just snap all the little squares off and then snap them back on with all the colors aligned properly. Who needs all that spinning, twisting around of the pieces, and thinking anyways?
