It
is extremely hard to put yourself out on the line and
ask someone out. I still have trouble with this one.
I just don't like making myself susceptible to being
rejected. My dad once told me that it took him until
his thirties to be able to approach a woman he wanted
to ask out and "not care" whether he was
rejected or not. I try to remind myself that it is
always better to know if somone feels the same way
than to be left in the dark. If it turns out the
person is not interested in you, be easy on yourself
and understand that it may be that the two of you
were not meant for each other. Not all people are
meant to be together.
If
you like somebody, make sure you like them for the
right reasons. We all search for somebody who is
going to make us more secure and help us grow as a
person in many ways. Your partner should not be there
to pick up the slack were you are weak, but to help
you to become strong in those areas. He or she should
help you to grow, not mask your insecurities.
