Taking Chances

 

One of the recurring topics in your readings seems to be, "How does he/she feel about me?"  You might see someone and get to know her, and wonder if she is attracted to you.  Or, you have dated someone and have broken up and then wonder if he is coming back to you. 
 
While you wonder this, your life is on hold.  You don't really look for another partner.  You see the weeks and months passing you by.
 
We seem to have learned this "wondering" behavior in grade and high school. Often, we were afraid of the answer.  If was no, then we were afraid of the rejection, disappointment and humiliation.  If it was yes, then we were impatient that the other person wasn't doing anything to further the relationship!
 
Well, school days are behind us now, and it is time to take control of your life.  If you are wondering, ask!  Isn't it better to know?  You get out of that hold pattern and open yourself up to the wonderful life you have planned.  If the answer is no, you will be able to proceed ahead and move toward to the partner who will make you happy.  If the answer is yes, then you can get on with it!
 
So, have courage and stop letting life pass you by!
