 |  A little eye contact goes a long way
I dont know about most of you but through out most of my life I have avoided direct contact with people...especially strangers, and especially strangers of the opposite sex.
Tonight I decided to do something a little different. I took Kayla for "treat day" (fast food) I didnt get anything after the McDonald's fiasco. But, as we were leaving, a guy was approaching the door to the restaurant. I thought about looking away quickly and moving out of the way or grabbing the other door to let myself out, but I didnt. He held the door. And I said thank you, and we both kinda stood there for a minute. DIRECT EYE CONTACT and then we parted ways. Kayla and I were walking to the car when he came outside and asked if we could talk. Of course i stuffed Kayla in the car (lol) and talked for a few minutes. Just long enough to exchange numbers and make a tentative plan for Saturday.
So, my first accomplishment is I made eye contact and spoke to someone I didn't know.  and it actually worked out well. I have a date on saturday afternoon i'm thinking about doing this more often...saying hello and stuff to strangers--it's not so bad afterall.
now onto step 2; i actually have to go out with the person LOL!

Congratulations on your first step forward. Hold your head high, and keep in mind you deserve every respect a man can give a woman, so, even if you aren't used to it, if a man treats you with respect and graciousness, accept gracefully, and treat him likewise. You know, your carrying yourself confidently will tell the man to treat you well. If he doesn't, he's not worth the trouble, it isn't you who is not worth the good treatment.
Good luck on the date, hope you have fun. |
