Good expriences breed optimisism. Optimism then becomes self fulfilling. The trouble is, things going badly can lead to pessimism, which can lead to depression, which can accelerate one's downward cycle. When things are going badly, all that you have left to fall back on is faith. To me, you have to keep the faith, otherwise you are doomed to self fullfilling pessisimism. As Sir Kenin noted, you are in control of one variable. You are in control of yourself. No matter what, you can always improve on yourself in one way or another: fitness, diet, skills, hobbies, reading, sense of humor, gaining experience etc.... As he said, if you take care of yourself, maybe the other things will come to you. I hope you meet with some good fortune, but overall, I agree with Sir Kenin. Take care of yourself, that's the best favor you could ever do for your prospective partner when you don't have one.
