...whereas, I became a hunter. Pursuing those who interest me.

But that takes a lot of self esteem. Not everyone will be interested in return and you have to realize that it takes two to make a relationship and that is what is being rejected when you get turned down... not you the individual.

But then... as a dominant personality, I have no experience in what it might be like to be a submissive and an aggressive pursuer.

But as Tojo said, you're young. The urgency you feel now to get on with your life... you'll come to realize later that you didn't need to rush into anything.

delish has the right idea, don't press so hard and you will have more time to see opportunity when it knocks.
