i took a gamble and made a move. it ensured a career but it cost me a girl and friends. i moved home after and worked on the career/focused on advancing, took time off from girls/not many hookups and two years later i'm on the right track, back out there searching for girls/more opportunities, etc. does sacrificing your present for the overall good of your future balance out?

it isnt supposed to balance out but it is supposed to be for the greater good. so if you sacrificed a few years of casual dating to concentrate on your career and it payed off by providing you some solid career advancement, it seems to have payed off because you put more value on the career, now you want to concentrate on your social life, if that doesn't hurt your career, then it worked out for the best, but if finding someone to date hurts your career and you go back to what ever it was, then you have wasted time not dating as you are right back where you started in the first place only a few years older.

Unless you are lucky, you will only achieve what you strive for.
