Welcome sunshine... so this GAL thing takes some courage and some willingness to leave your comfort zone to get going on. Be brave and just do it. I liken it to getting into a cold pool... you can ease in but it takes forever to acclimate (longer if you're a guy) or you can just suck it up, dive underwater, and the cold goes away a lot faster.
I've never been Mr. Social. Halloween weekend is coming up and I know my W will be very social. I'll be damned if I was going to be home babysitting while my W is out living it up. A humorist is doing a show a few hours away. I tried and tried to find someone to go with me. No luck. My friends in that city are all out of town and no one around here wanted to pony up. So.... I'm going alone. If nothing else it will be time away from the kids and the W and the sitch. I'll have time to think about things, which is both good and bad, but I'll enjoy the show, eat some good food, and maybe meet some people while I'm there.
But that is a huge leap for me... so it can be done and frankly it's good practice.
