Gabrielle- since I’ve been venturing out with my social conversations, there’s this guy at work that is talking to me more. I’ve had my eye on him for quite a while, but he kinda falls in the shy guy, sorta nervous, but seems interested category. I continue to be myself, and smile enough. Our conversations are starting to really flow and we find lots to laugh and talk about. Usually I tend to want things to move on at a fast pace, but visiting with this guy is showing me that just taking it as it comes and feels comfortable might just work out too. Perhaps that is what your professional guy is like. Another thing I’ve learned, you can’t change a person, or put all your efforts into one person. Someone pointed out to me that while I might be concentrating on just one guy, I’m not even noticing if someone else is trying to get close. And then there’s just the frustrating days when “boys are stupid” will cover it, and tomorrow’s another day. LOL

Deb – I have to agree that I feel like married men are “safe people” to talk to. What is even better though is when you start talking to single men and you find that they accept you and will actually talk to you. My stomach still goes in knots sometimes but I feel so good afterward especially when the guy is really cute and his voice starts changing. I know that he is nervous too. Its really quite funny!
Ok – I do have a question as I type this though. What is up with the professional male who is clearly nervous, won’t make eye contact, but catch him looking and enjoying the conversation? Am I supposed to be doing something at this point? What if it is in a professional setting?

You are so right about embracing the small victories! It really is about the little victories that add up to big victories! Ever since I found you on the internet, I’ve had plenty of small victories that have built me up over the year. I am so much more confident now than I was back in January of this year. Since getting a divorce, I’ve started with emails, went to text messages/live chat, then telephone conversations, then dates here and there, and now I am actually able to hang out with a guy and get to know that person and feel comfortable. I did even kiss a guy, but that didn’t really feel comfortable. Am I a goober b/c of that? I’m not quite to your level, David, but small victories is quite an achievement to me over the past year!

Merry Christmas to everyone!

I absolutely love the message of this blog. You never know what lies ahead until you take a few steps into that direction. For me, trying new things all the time is what keeps me sharp and keeps me entertained.

I’ve been stretching my wings and pushing through some barriers to practice my “guy talking” skills in public. At first I felt insecure about the whole thing, but then just started to be myself and not what I thought the other person would like to hear. Thanks David for the great blogs of encouragement! Otherwise, I think I would have just stayed in my secure little shell and never ventured out.

One interesting thing I’ve noticed… men that are married are so easy to make small talk with. I would never suggest that trying to find a relationship with a married man is the goal here. These are the guys you meet while shopping, at the bank, just randomly. But, if you happen to strike up random conversations with a guy, and you see the ring finger is taken, or he references the wife, that’s all good. I don’t consider the encourter a total loss. Instead, I’m using these encounters to practice my communication skills and be relaxed and comfortable. I don’t expect it to lead to anything, but it’s good practice for me.

Hey David

I started this little journey almost a year and a half ago with a PUA site and it did work to a certain extant, it just wasn’t me, then I started looking at your stuff and taking your advice.

WOW this last year has been an amazing journey I have met so many new friend’s both male and female, I now have some great personnel relationship’s with some fantastic people and woman now genuinely like me and I have so many option’s of who I want to date, rejection is a thing of the past because I take what people give and don’t expect everyone to want to be my best friend.

I really do have a wonderful life and in part it is because of your insight’s.

thank you so very much my friend, keep up the good work.

Jeff

I have people come up to me and ask me a question do you think that so and so will mind if I do something? I will reply I don’t know you need to talk to them about all they can say is no.
