If you have, share it. If you havent, do you think it has any merit? Hell, even if you kind of have, do you think it has any merit? Personally, I am a wuss and haven't. However, upon hearing it I think that maybe I should try and apply it to my life. | ||

fuck embarrassment. fuck hesitation. just go do it. and if it doesn't work, what have you lost? a potential friendship? would that friendship have even gone well? what about all the other potential friends out there? or a few minutes of embarassment? who fucking cares? if it doesn't work out, you're never gonna see her again. it was good practice anyway. | ||

I'm such a screw up when it comes to relationships and treating women and I come from a sociopath background (been to psychologists, psychiatrists), until she came along and really changed my world. Before those 20 seconds, I was really scared when I had her hands held in mine... I just didn't know what to say or how to say it and just thought to myself something like "screw it, here goes nothing..." and went for it... and if you ask me how did I do it, I just don't remember a thing other than the most beautiful kiss ever. anything else in my life has been kinda straight forward, and I have been in some real messed up situations, but I guess I can deal with pressure or other circumstances with no problem. | ||

Exactly what its all about, I commend you. I've yet to do something brave. | ||

It could be something as small as facing a simple fear or admitting the truth in a mistake or asking the person of your dreams out on a date. Or one of the biggest things of your life, asking said girl to marry you. And there is nothing wrong with selfish actions. If you live life to be selfless, that in itself could be considered selfish. You are just as important as anybody else in this world. | ||
