No one masters anything on the first try. Even superheroes have to go through an entire story arc of trial and error mistakes. So when it comes to looking for your soul mate, don't let few bad first dates knock you off course. Keep at it.

once again - my horoscope for the day hit the nail on the head - hahaha, superheroes and all...
TOKYO (Reuters) - Lovelorn staff at a Japanese marketing company can take paid time off after a bad break-up with a partner, with more "heartache leave" on offer as they get older.
Tokyo-based Hime & Company, which also gives staff paid time off to hit the shops during sales season, says heartache leave allows staff to cry themselves out and return to work refreshed. "Not everyone needs to take maternity leave but with heartbreak, everyone needs time off, just like when you get sick," CEO Miki Hiradate, whose company of six women markets cosmetics and other goods targeted for women, told Reuters by telephone.
Staff aged 24 years or younger can take one day off per year,
while those between 25 and 29 can take two days off and those older can take
three days off, the company said.
"Women in their 20s can find their next love quickly, but
it's tougher for women in their 30s, and their break-ups tend to be more
serious," Hiradate said.
Hime & Company staff can also take two mornings off
twice a year as "sales shopping leave", so they can race to stores to
hunt for bargains.
"Before, women could take half-days off to go to sales,
but you'd have to hide your shopping bags in lockers by the train station,"
Hiradate said.
"But with paid leave, we don't have to feel guilty about bringing our shopping bags to work, and we can enjoy the best part about sales shopping -- talking about our purchases afterwards."

I could have seriously used this a few times.
It is horrible to have to go to work and fight off the urge to cry every minute of the day. You end up just avoiding people in general, you can't focus on what you are doing and it's really just a waste of company time.
Just let me stay home under the covers and I'll make it up later...
definitely fair play for those of us that didn't take maternity leave or have to leave to take our kids to the doctor, etc.
The one year mark might just be the target.
After a tough year (romantically), things are looking pretty darn good.
Yeah yeah, I know. I've had a phenomenal year otherwise, I visited 6-7 new countries. I've moved back to America and able to see my friends and family ANY time I wish. And I'm finally at the point of letting go all the bad stuff I've been holding onto.
It's amazing that my move to Germany many years ago had such a profound impact on my life and now once again, a German influence might be impacting me once again. Even if it doesn't pan out, I am once again able to feel things that make it all worthwhile.
It is a great day for romance, so if you've got a sweetie, things sure are going to be sweet! The two of you will have that special unspoken bond, when holding hands is all you need to say. And if you are currently single, guess what? You're going to fall in love with yourself all over again, today! You'll see how it's so much better to be single and able to spend your time with someone you love (yourself) than to slog along with a partner who fills you with feelings of worry or insecurity.
You haven't thought about this
particular love-gone-bad situation in a while, but today it's weighing
heavily on you.
Don't let baggage from the past affect your emotional
growth. Write a letter, then burn it. It's time to say good-bye.
as usual, i'm fully in sync with the stars. just talked to Rachel about this very topic last night.
