Thank you. This is really only the beginning in this shift of mindset, as there are many times where I find myself performing old, bad habits. Like I said though, it's discovering how to deal with the problems that will ultimately determine how I handle the rest of my life.

Oh, I do not doubt that there will be a lot more rejection to come for me. This is really just a fact of life, that not everybody will want to associate with me, nor will many women be attracted to me in any way. It certainly takes the work required to talk to someone you're interested in...

Thanks! Thanks to everyone else who welcomes me in advance, but I should probably quit bumping my own thread. I'm starting to feel like a ******-bag, lol.

You're not alone as you can add me to this list. I'm a virgin who has never officially dated, never had a girlfriend, nor ever been kissed by a girl. The reactions I've had from others in my life whom I've told and have done these things themselves have been...comical to say the least. All of...

Let me put it this way. In a time I'd rather forget at this point, I used to have vivid fantasies of exactly how I'd go about it, the weapon involved, and using my death as a way to hurt all of the people in my life that I loved and that loved me for, in hindsight, very illogical feelings I had...

As long as you maintain your personal integrity and interact with others in a way that you want to, and not in a way that anybody else tells you is the right way, I believe that it is inevitable that you will influence someone in your life for the better. It's not a matter of will it happen...

Thanks a bunch. :) A good friend of mine once gave me something to chew on for a long time, although I have heard it a few times before. He told me that he follows the mantra of "become the change you want to see in the world". Well, there are a lot of things I wish the world would be like...

I have to admit, I'm much more positive now than I was not even a year ago. After years of self-assessment, and asking the right questions, the ones that were truly on my mind, pieces started falling into place one by one to make all of the aforementioned possible. I think it's a good thing to...

Ah, nice to see a fellow Kansan! Thanks for the welcome. And to GraceBlossom and Locke, thanks as well. :)

Thanks for the support. Self-improvement is a tricky thing. There are many mental traps and blocks to weave around before it can actually be effective, but once those pitfalls have been avoided, the only way the momentum can go is forward. I also had to come to the realization that I wasn't...

Hello all. Although I've been a guest here for a few weeks, this is my first actual day with an account on here, and my first real post besides the introductory one. Great to be here! For starters, being new and all, I guess I should input some background info as to my...romantic situation...

Thanks a lot! :)

Hey...you said it, not me. :D jk I'm actually on the Agnostic/other/unknown end of the spectrum myself.

My first official experience was when we read "The Illiad" (not in epic poem form, obviously) in seventh grade. After that, I was hooked, even more so after I started branching out of what our schools would teach us. I think the fact that all of the mortals and gods had their own shining...

...I just love Greek names and their ancient mythology! I am a 25-year-old male from the central United States; Kansas, to be more precise. I've been perusing the forum as a guest for a few weeks now, and I have to say that I like what I am seeing. I finally decided to take the plunge and...
