KGirl - letting the past go

[Mozza]

Many of us have to learn to get past "No" in dating. It's one of the reasons I started flirting recently. Ironically, it builds confidence. It hasn't killed me, against my expectations, so it made me stronger. It makes me feel like a regular person who can be paired, like anyone else, not an outsider to these rituals. Also, if you take a chance 10 times a month, the stakes are much lower than if you do it twice a year. I've friends my age who've been on the dating scene for a long time and they are obviously much more relaxed about the whole thing than I am.

So I encourage you not only to ask this guy out but also to flirt with at least one guy a week, be it the cashier at the supermarket or a new guy in a yoga class. It's all for a good cause.

Also, is there a rule we have to sleep with a person on the third date? Nice to know. I see sex as much more unattainable than this, so I wouldn't have such expectations so early. If you're not ready at any point, you just say goodbye. If he doesn't call back, you dodged a bullet.

This dating advice was graciously offered by a guy who hasn't been dating in 10 years.
