I've hit a wall.. Now what?

I always welcome friends with hugs or 2x4s.

Let me just say that, while I started out a scared little sadsack, I do delight in remembering the moments I stood up for myself and really let BF have it. Trouble is then I would do something unattractive to undo it because I thought I was breaking the "be the better option" rules of conduct. I had a DB phone counselor who told me one thing but advice here was the opposite. I ended up doing what felt authentic to me and damn was it empowering.

Definitely embrace the suck.

Do you like sports? If so, hang out at a sports bar to watch the game. I got to know all the single men at my watering hole during football season last year. They really loved the fact that I was there to watch the game and knew my stuff. I got free drinks from the bartender and several business cards. Plus it's not as stressful as going out on a real date. Not that those are bad!

Funny thing is that I have a male acquaintance who commented that I must have men hitting on me all the time. At first I was flabbergasted and said, no, that's never been me. But after I spent more time on my own I did notice that men are not in short supply. When I met up with this man again and he made the same comment I said why yes, yes I do. They must recognize that I am a catch! And even now I don't hesitate to remind BF that I am a total package.

P.S. I love your theme song!!
