Learning to move past the sting of disappointment is one of the greatest challenges in life. When I come to understand that it is learning a measure of self-control it becomes a bit of a different game, however, since the focus becomes self-mastery rather than self-doubt.
The strange part of all of this is how much I do not doubt my capacity to make a girl happy. I know I am not perfect, and I have very little experience when it comes to couple-style relationships(I've only had three girl friends), but I know I am a committed, communicative, and caring(did I just make up the 3 Cs of relationship goodness?) fellow with lots of tools(interests and talents) at my disposal to be the best kind of friend/boyfriend I can be. Maybe it sounds like I am tooting my own horn... Ya... probably sounds like that, but I have been around for a long time working very hard to do the right thing and become the right kind of guy. That kind of practice has to count for something, right?
Anyway... Maybe I am just having fun building up my self-image right now. I suppose this is probably not a bad thing to do once in a while, actually. As much as I try to stay away from anything which can lead to prideful thinking, I think this is something different than arrogance. I simply recognize my blessings and should be more grateful for them... and should not be afraid to accept and put them to good use. Now that is a true challenge, indeed!
