So I feel kind of bad for not mentioning this sooner to all you guys. I've been so focused on having fun with my friends and girls lately (:
Anyways, I've had another epiphany. It's one I've already had several times before but this one carved it into my mind.
Let me start you off with a story of how this came to be:
My main man Chrispb7 and I were talking and he started to talk about some relationship issues. We were working together on what the solution could be and it came down to this: Taking action is key.
Honestly, taking action is sooooo important to game.
"The man who steadily walks towards the gold gets it before the man who is busy building a teleport machine."
It was this thought that got me going about 3 weeks ago.
I lunched with a different group of friends for one day on a Friday and met a new girl. We didn't talk MUCH, but we still got familiar with one another. I found out she was new to our school from that school year, but it took us 7 months to meet so we played around with that convo.
After that I thought "that was fun...now to math class."
Didn't think we'd go anywhere although I was interested in her.
Come home after school, log onto Facebook and she friend requested me. I thought "interesting.." and went ahead.
A couple of hours later, we chatted on facebook, talked about small things like where she lives (b/c she's new and i got curious, nothing creepy or too personal), where i live, what kind of music we listen to, and then i had to leave to a concert.
as we parted, she gave me her number. nothing big b/c she thought i'd text her. but i can't text :pp
after the concert, i showered and was about to goto bed when i realized that i had her number.
i didn't really feel THAT obligated to call her, and i didnt like her THAT much ya know??
but then the thought of "taking action" kicked in.
i was anxious, no doubt about it, and i hung up 2 times really quick before the phone even rang.
3rd time, i just took a deep breathe and went at it.
I had all these things planned in my mind on what to say and what to talk about.
i planned for the worst like "hi it's MYNAME..." "oh......hi?"
and how much of a fool i'd make myself.
but i went ahead and did it. "hi it's ***...." "Omg!! hii!!! haha is that really your name??!?!!!"
in a good mood, we talked and talked about random things like pokemon, 90s videogames, school, music, etc.
i talked on the phone for 2 hours with a girl i barely talked to at lunch that day.
we established a 'best friend' frame b/c we had so many things in common like how we say certain words, our sense of humor, etc.
saturday night, we talked for 3 hours.
sunday, we made plans to hang out.
a week went by, we've already gone through some shitty drama and made up nicely.
another week goes by and boom, here i am. we hang out a lot now, we talk a lot now. i'm pulling my 'bestfriend-boyfriend' method on her right now and everything's working out great.
i'm so happy. i love life. and i feel great even at school!
how did my 'average mood' change so drastically in a matter of days?
taking action.
had i not talked to her at lunch, had i not chatted with her on facebook, not called her that night, had we not hung out, then we wouldn't be where we are today.
so what's the point? TAKE ACTION. CALL THOSE NUMBERS YOU HAVE. TALK TO THOSE GIRLS ON YOUR FACEBOOK CHAT LIST.
even if you don't like them THAT MUCH, you'll eventually find things TO LIKE about them by talking with them more.
get over your anxiety, get over your ego, and just talk with girls.
