We’ve been cuddling quite intensely at a cuddle party, so I gave her my number afterwards, which she happily wrote down. While this seems to be quite easy for many people, I usually don’t dare. So I’m happy I did this time. 2 months ago

We were meeting for lunch shortly before she had to leave the city for some days and I asked her to visit my new flat when she’s back. She agreed, but unfortunately she didn’t respond when I wanted to talk about the details when she was back.

A few weeks later I wrote her a text to ask if she’s ok or if I have done anything wrong. She replied immediately, apologized and explained why she didn’t reply. Well, I dared to ask again and she wants to meet when she’s back in town. I hope it’ll work out this time.

But the main point is: I dared to ask twice. A year ago, I would even have dared the first time! So even if this might lead to nothing, it helps me to be at least a bit more daring. 3 months ago

I’ve gotten really withdrawn and anxious lately which has left me even less daring than before I started this goal. It irks me that when I saw this goal I made plans to do all sorts of actually interesting things and now just getting out to the grocery store or taking a short walk around my own quiet neighborhood feels like an epic task.

Babysteps. If I just keep going I can build up to something really daring again. 22 months ago
