Name: Richard Location: Winter Park, FL What brought you here / What made you join this group?: Honestly, I have had a terrible time of dating. Some of it has been my choices, my decisions, things I've done, things I haven't done. Some of it the people I choose, and honestly not being able to sift through the pile effectively enough to get what I need in life. What’s one thing you’d like to improve or get clarity on in your dating life? Communication for one, and where to find people that I might vibe with is another Fun fact about you (optional): I really love pinball, which is so old school but honestly, I grew up with a friend who had one and I've been hooked for a very long time

So I used to have low self esteem that led me to essentially chase after woman who were not interested in me, and feel like I did something wrong when woman would ghost me. I tried too hard too fast to try and not to lose a girl. I’ve been working on myself and have had a more positive outlook on life in general. I have been grateful for the people I do have in my life, and for the things I have. I’ve become more confident in myself and have realized that I can just be me. I can choose a girl with similar values once I find that person. And if a girl ghosts me it’s not a reflection on who I am. She just chose to not get to know me more and that’s ok. I am no longer letting whether or not a girl is interested in me define my self worth. I have been going to the gym, and exploring other hobbies that make me happy like tennis. I am at a spot where I am becoming happy with the person I am now. Not every girl will be interested in me and that’s ok. It used to get me down when a girl would reject me. After talking with Shelley I realized that the optimism I had for everyday life, I was not applying in my dating life. She also helped me realize that getting ghosted or rejected is just a redirection to another person who will value me. Now, I believe that I’ll find the person right for me eventually, so in the meantime I’m bettering myself and doing things that make me happy. I am continuing to work on myself, and I know that I can put myself out there more than I am now. Feel like doing this new hobby is a good first step as I’m meeting new people through it. I finally feel like I’m on the right track, and am actually excited for what the future holds, instead of focusing on the negatives and the rejections.
