> Nothing trains you to not take things personally like being put through the ringer of modern day online dating. Back in the day this was worse believe me. At least you're not approaching a random stranger and their friends in a public place and then getting shot down in front of all of them. In online dating their is at least the chance that the person you approach is looking for a relationship with someone. That wasn't always the case back in the good ol' days. The conclusions are the same though. It's not personal, even when it is. Your personal worth is not predicated on what others think of you and weirdly once you know that you notice more people that do value you.
