)The type that think its all luck
2)The type that know its not, and act accordingly
Which type are you?
Which type do you think will pick up more?
I see the logic behind what you're saying. Yet whenever I try to change myself from (1) to (2), and take control of my own destiny, I fail. Then, when I'm bemoaning my failure, I end up getting together with someone, without trying - often the person I was moaning to. It seems like it is luck.
(And if I ever pick someone up randomly, its always on the nights when I wasn't expecting it, wasn't planning it, was just looking for a few quiet drinks with my friends).
I'm guessing the secret lies in being more relaxed on those occasions, not worrying too much about it?
(Anyway, thought I'd check out this thread since Catch-22 mentioned it in SLR, and judging from the number of singles leaving the thread, maybe you need some new, single blood
