Making the first move

You like him...so now what? Making the first move is hard. I've always been one to expect the guy to initiate conversation and show interest first. But, I've come to realize that doesn't always happen. Maybe he's shy. Maybe you are, too. But if you are attracted to him... I say- go for it! 

Rejection is a scary thing. Trust me, I've had my fair share of "no's". Usually I find out the cutie I've got my eye on has a "girlfriend". (Sigh...) And I'm kind of being a hypocrite here-- because I find it terrifying to make the first move, when it comes to guys. 

I mean, I'm still an old-fashioned girl at heart. The ideal situation would be him, asking me out first. But guys these days can be a tad wimpy. (no offense guys) And I totally get it. Heck, putting yourself out there is no small feat. But I think I'm tired of the waiting game. 

So, this week I vow to take my own advice. There's this guy in one of my classes. And to be honest, he seems like a total sweet heart. Not to mention he's completely adorable. (Best smile award!)

Hey- if all else fails, I can accept a simple friendship. See, this great life is full of opportunities. And you can sit back and wait for them to come to you-- OR you can fearlessly accept them-- like a boss. 

Here's to making the first move! 

And hey-- if it doesn't work out with "said guy"...it's totally possible he's related to Gerard Butler. And in that case, rejection would be SO WORTH IT! Can you say dream come true?
