Singles meetup

[redskyatnight]

I went to a singles meetup last night, by myself. Walking into the bar alone reminded me of the two times that I've stood in the doorway of a plane ready to jump.

I jumped, actually I was pushed, but I walked into the bar without being pushed. I had an OK time. I'm not sure why I got hit by guys 7 and 3 years younger than me, but that makes it easy to talk to them since I have absolutely no expectation of anything more than some conversation. Bummer that the really cute ones seemed to already have a circle of friends.

I'm still a little nervous today, but I think as I do this more, the anxiety will begin to fade. I already said 'maybe' to an event next Friday.

It was fun to get out and do something different with friendly people. I think I'm going to like this.

Doing things like that is all about having a good attitude and managing expectations. If you're just in it to meet people and amuse yourself for a night, you'll seldom be disappointed.

I don't understand what you mean by this.



I do think it is awesome that you went out by yourself like that. What a confidence booster. I was proud of myself when I went to a movie alone. LOL

That is awsome! I have come close to doing things like this but always lose my courage last minute. I look up to you for going!

Plus, if your only expectation is to meet some new people and enjoy yourself, I think you will continue to just keep having fun at things like this! Awsome girl, way to go!
