Your wizard should be linear, top to bottom. The current layout is a little confusing and not obvious enough.

I think I need to part with my co-founder. I've not "broken up" with someone like this before though I understand it's common. Any advice?My story: I'm 8 months into a new B2B SAS business. I invented our product, built a prototype good enough to land a $200k seed investment from people who know my previous work, and then spent 3 months looking for someone technical to join, get founder's...
They want to be the sole infuser of ads into Twitter streams.
I would totally play Jabberwocky Kart Racing.
Your first line can't necessarily just be summarily true though, can it? I don't get the whole "winner talk" approach to life sometimes.
I like that way of looking at "find something cool to do."
I read some of this stuff a while ago after an HN suggestion. I half-think it gave me the wrong idea in some ways. As the girl started pulling away from me, I tried to amp up my game and it just made things worse. Lol. I think the smarter play would have been to size things up, see that she was a ballbuster, and move on if there was no response.
Yeah, I guess it's good to remember that everyone's imperfect and some people just hate certain kinds of other people. In this case, she and I started off great, then the more I got to know her, the closer I felt to her and the more interested I was. The more she got to know me, the less interested she was. But she kept trying to connect as friends because she enjoyed my non-romantic company. Meanwhile, the time we spent together was crossing my wires and confusing me.
I've done a lot of that. I've lost weight, gotten into better physical shape, and am actually seeing someone pretty neat now.
But I find myself late at night when I'm alone fixating on the criticisms from this woman.
We got to know eachother very quickly during a time when I raised money for our company and was on top of the world. I wrongly assumed that because everything else in life was going well, that this relationship was just good karma coming out of nowhere, so I was extremely open and "googly-eyed" toward her. This came across as me being "a 14-year-old boy in man's body" and "a fool who doesn't know a thing about women and relationships."
This is true. And I understand that if you suck at something, the only way to get better is to confront the fact that you suck at it and work on it.
I guess it's just hard to process that there's someone out there who knows a ton about me and based on that, wants nothing to do with me. I feel like my startup could get a buyout offer tomorrow and that fact would still be ringing in my ears.

Any hackers tips on getting over romantic rejection?I got pwned hard by a woman last year and the stuff she said about me stung very badly and continues to do so. It's been months since she told me to buzz off and I still have a hard time not fixating on the flaws she saw in me. It's killing my productivity at work. Not sure what to do. I can't stop picking at the scabs.
