Ok, So I'm one who has streaks of confidence and slumps of sorrow. I think it's natural to go through spurts. Well, today I wanted to focus on a text message I received after walking up to a cute guy at a brewery last week:
"You got a great start! You come off as confident, intelligent, beautiful strong & sexy. I'm stoked to meet the woman you are. You defined yourself when we met."
First impressions help, right? Well, the confidence I felt last week has somewhat faltered a little and I've been second-guessing the texts leading up to tonight's first date. It's not so much the experience of dinner and conversation because I don't have many problems with that - it's living up to the expectation of what happened last week with my being confident enough to approach a guy and then speak to him and his four friends. (Crazy!)
I'm going a little stir crazy and have been overthinking everything - including the boutique purchase I made yesterday so I had a new shirt to look good in to keep that first impression/expectation going.
Sheesh - dating is tough!
