Yeah, I really did that. . . and I have no problem doing it again! As they say "Closed mouths don't get fed!" 

In general, I have never had a problem with making the first move with a guy (when the rejection level is low)! Meaning, if I feel the person may genuinely be interested in me. . . then back up because I sliding into their DM's. But don't get me wrong it's not for everyone but for ME, I would rather be the girl sitting at the bar politely introducing herself than the one looking down at her drink and waiting for someone to approach her. The amount of confidence you have to build is heavy and must be able to withstand rejection! That said, I clearly DON'T have it all figured out but, in general, being willing to put yourself out there opens you to more opportunities than you could ever imagine!

Now here's the kicker. . . he lowkey ghosted me! I'm telling you right now, NO ONE wants to feel that way. Luckily I had a healthy distraction (vacation) and did not notice until I was back in town. Therefore, when sitting down to talk through my thoughts I started to analyze my communication styles within my friendships. Join me as I realize how much of a needy friend I am!
