Expectations will kick your ass when out in the social world and in the dating game.

A way to break your expectations is to find something you generally have expectations of doing well in but tend to not do well at.

Some ideas of this are:

  • Learn how to juggle
  • Play a video game in which you can lose often and in horrible ways. I choose COD Black OPs 2 on hardcore team deathmatch mode and using a crossbow at that.
  • Play pool against people

In all practice situations you are not allowed to get visably or audibly upset. Accept each failure as they come and accept it as a failure that doesn't matter and know that you will get better or that there is no real harm done by failing.

I did this and it has drastically decreased my expectations and my ability to let failure roll off my back like water off a tail feather.

Train yourself. Expectations are not just within dating but within all of life. Use those things to train yourself. Break your coding. Become the awesome you.
