You might be suprised
I guess the thing that has been on my mind lately is approaching women. I am a very shy guy but I have put myself out there recently and tried to ask out a few different ladies. The result has not been good. I have been rejected but the feeling I have is one of satisfaction. My friends have said that they can’t believe I had the courage to do this. What is it about opening up and putting yourself out there. Is it that we are so afraid that we will look foolish. I guess for me the fear of rejection is devastating. When I was in high school a teacher had each person in the class sign an index card with only their name. We passed the cards around and everyone wrote what they thought of that person. When I got my card back it had comments like cute, sweet, and funny. I couldn’t believe it but all the time I was walking around feeling so insecure. I had wasted so much time thinking that I was not a quality guy. Why didn’t I realize that people can actually see when a person has a good heart. Well lets be honest, everyone has these feelings. it’s the fear of failing that gets in the way of living life to the fullest. How many times have you seen someone and thought that there was chemistry between you and that person? You turned and walked away only to find yourself thinking what might have been later on when you were alone. I recently asked a gorgeous young lady out and she told me that she was seeing someone. The next thing she told me was that I had made her day because she thought it was a huge compliment that someone as attractive and nice as me wanted to go out with her. I’m not trying to brag about myself because I think that we would all have experiences like this if we could just put that feeling of fear aside. Lets take time to do a little life experiment and see if I’m wrong. The next time your trying on jeans at the store and you make eye contact with that attractive person you would love to get to know, do yourself a favor and go talk to them. I don’t think that they will be so offended that they will smack you or say anything rude. As a matter of fact I think you will make their day. The great thing is that you will not find yourself wondering later on what if. I would love to hear back and see just how you did? So lets all remember that life goes by really fast and there is no reason for regrets.
