Hi. I'm currently in a relationship with a girl from school. We have started our relationship slowly, so that if things shouldn't work out, it won't change things too dramatically. We've met up outside of school in the evenings without anybody on our course knowing. We were suppose to meet tomorrow, but she told me tonight that we will have to postpone it, because she is moving house.

Her excuse is fine, but I can't help but feel a great deal of disappointment. I know this is something life can be full of, and something that can't be change, but all the same, it's very disappointing. We sneak around all week (which is frustrating), and now we've lost our only chance to meet up outside of school. It means we have to wait another week, before we have the chance to be together!

How can I deal with disappointments in a more positive way? As I say, life is full of them, so I feel I need to find a way to deal with them better than I currently am!

My question to you is.. Why are you hiding your relationship from other people? If your relationship is going to work at all it should be out in the open. But that is not your question though is it. How to deal with disappointment. well What i tend to do is hope for the best prepare for the worst. That way i can always be able to deal with the situation as it comes. If i get disappointed in something i look at it from a different prospective. Like maybe there is a reason why it didnt happen the way i wanted it to and look for the positives that you can do becuase you are currently not able to do what you were originally wanting to do. Okay so you didnt get to meet with her that perticular night.. this give you another week to think up something more special to do the next time yall meet up.
