Not talking

to males/men I do not know has not been working for me. I cannot flirt to my full potential without using words. I am one of the many who has to rely on her wit and personality rather than looks alone (especially with the type of males/men I prefer). My new rule is to primarily talk with males/men I do not know who are not somehow tied to my employment in any way. Maybe this will rid me of my anxiety around hetero men. (I tried this on Friday and succeeded in eliciting a blush from the cute store clerk at the Finish Line.)

After eight years of not dating, something needs to change. Shyness and seclusion has not brought on many memorable moments except the ones I conjured to paper.
