Last night I went to Speed Dating.

So many times I had a great conversation and find out that she didn't select me.

Last night I decided to try something different. I went to one woman who was there with her friend and said, "You know this waiting for a match sucks. I'm gonna ask you straight up for your phone number" and then I put my phone in her hand and told her to call me. (Paraphrased, I was much smoother)

She said ,"I don't know you well enough to give you my phone number."

Her friend said "He's reaching out to you, how about email?"

She said "Well, I don't want to lead you on.. sorry" Ratt ta tatt tatt. BOOMmm Down in Flames.

​

Oh that stung..

But after that I walked outside and said "I may have gone down, but I didn't go down like a little bitch finding out she didn't circle me. " And I thought about all the other guys there , and how many of them are stuck being AFC's and said "At least I'm not an AFC!" Stand tall and know you smoked what, 95% of other guys, by just going for it.

It took me till I was 46.5 to learn this. Please learn it earlier than me and enjoy life.

Once your realize this your approach anxiety will turn to approach admiration-- for yourself!
