    • Try a new activity.
    • Join a club.
    • Take a class.
  • Make a list of your good points -- particularly what you can bring to a relationship.
  • Think about dating as a learning process with the goal of having a social life you enjoy.
  • Keep in mind that if a person rejects you, you have not failed. Did all your dates before your diagnosis work out?
