Do something out of my comfort zone at least once a week (read all 27 entries…)
Ask for a girl's phone number

Well, the girl I’ve been crushing-on in yoga class, finally showed up for yoga today (after about a two week absence), and throughout class I couldn’t clear my mind, or concentrate on the poses, because all I could think about was her.

I kept sneaking peeks at her throughout class. She’s adorable. She was kinda dancing to the music while she was coming in and out of different poses. That made me smile.

So after class, I was going to ask her out, but other girls kept “getting in the way.” Then I finally caught her eye and she came over, but before I could say anything two other girls came over and the four of us ended up chatting for a few minutes. FINALLY, the other two moved on to other people, and I asked for her number.

It wasn’t exactly asking her out, but I did get her number. And she even recommended that we should go hiking sometime. Whew!!

As I entered her number into my phone my hands were shaking slightly. I kept thinking…please don’t notice…please don’t notice.

I can’t believe I’m 39 years old and I’m STILL afraid to talk to a pretty girl. And this is the FIRST time I’ve EVER asked for a girl’s phone number. Sure I’ve done the internet dating thing, and I did ask that dancer out a month ago, but those don’t count. With internet dating, everyone knows what you’re all there for, and I fully expected the dancer to turn me down, so there were no nerves involved there.

Well, now I’m rambling. Anyway…asking for a girl’s number is WAY outside my comfort zone, and I did it. And I’m happy! :-)

It's complicated...

I have called her a few times, and we have had some pleasant conversations.

However, I haven’t been able to get her to commit to a time yet. She’s a full-time student, and a full-time mom to a six-year-old, and her only availability to “go out” is Thursday nights and Saturday mornings. Which, just happen to be the days she usually goes to yoga.

I asked if she’d like to go dancing on Thursday night, but she had to “check her schedule” and get back to me.

I think she likes me, and I think she’s interested in going out, but I also think she’s struggling with her priorities, and I’m not going to be one of them.

So anyway….the ball is in her court. If she calls me to confirm, great. If not…well, then I guess at the very least, I learned that I’m capable of doing this again. It didn’t kill me…but damn! was is nerve-racking.

chinalove is reinventing herself

You know there is something

Very, very special about you. I hope you know it. I can tell from your writing that you have a good soul. (I’m smiling now because I’m thinking that you may not believe in souls. :) :) ) I am a black girl and we believe in soul.

Anyway I think she would be lucky to land a guy like you.

And remember she may be afraid, insecure, herself.
Be gentle with her and especially YOU. Dating is hard at first….but think of the joy two people can experience. The laughter the music, hiking. Just be you…it will help her to just be her.

And remember if she doesn’t want you I’m available. :)

Kudos to you for kickin butt and kicking past your fears.

Chinalove

Thank you

Very sweet of you.

Made me smile.

And laugh….at the “Soul” thing. LOL

Yoga pants can inspire great things...

woohoo! The hike was a great idea. School-kid-life…definitely a challenging balance. Saturday morning breakfast/coffee date might be fun??? Fingers crossed

RM CominCon is almost here-squee!

Good for you!

I guess as a girl, it doesn’t even occur to me that guys are nervous at all or even more than us ladies. You are so sweet-go Brian!

idkbrblol is taking a breather ☺

re: Dammit - you even look like a nice guy. How can I compete with that?

(two cheers for your entry, btw)
Interesting that when we approach someone who we think is gonna say no anyway, there’s no nervousness.

Need time with her? Here’s watch’yer gonna do… (well maybe).
Say she needs to go see her parents, which is ¾ to 1 hour away… just get some friends to help borrow all the tires from her car, then you call her that morning & say “hey if you ever have car trouble or need a ride, give me a call.” Find out what time she plans on leaving & park right across the street & wave to her when she sees her car has no wheels & offer her that ride. Tell her you have some “extra tires” & you can get them for her while she’s away.
Then, if it’s like ½ hour away, have one of your female friends pick her up to bring her home & they can talk about you on the way.

Okay maybe then it’ll just make an interesting movie scene.

LMAO

Hilarious Idkbrblol! I’m curious though…have you tested this strategy?

LOL
