"A first failure may prepare the way for future success." --Arnold Lobel

I know this to be true in science, and to some extent in engineering and business. I wonder how applicable it is in relationships, though... I've read some accounts that if one isn't successful in making a connection (of whatever sort) initially, the likelihood of future success falls off dramatically. Or does it?

Well, relationship possibilities don't seem to be a huge rarity in life, but I see what you mean now.

Hm.

I've gotta ponder this one for a while. I think it's possible that I put people in the "just friends" box in my head, but am amenable to that changing if their behavior toward me changes.

Pondering.
