That the smallest mistake or slip up would be the end of this budding infatuation. <br />And the feeling, that wonderful feeling of the prospect of love is so intoxicating!<br />This intoxicating feeling is followed by a shadow of fear and doubt. And I become utterly and helplessly mute.

I can flirt with people if it's all surface... but th second I start to care if they reciprocate, I wonder if being myself is too much, or not enough, or just wrong, etc. So, a big key for me is just being myself, with what my good friend calls her "take it or leave it" approach. Being yourself, being open, can be difficult, but a lot easier in the long run because you know if someone responds to you, they're responding to YOU, not who you've crafted yourself to be in the time you spend with them.<br /><br />That sounds so convoluted when I read it--hope that makes sense. Nutshell: you have to be the real you, and be vulnerable to that real you being rejected sometimes. Way easier said than done.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03432976266143221608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-87699425965723445092011-06-17T11:58:50.568-04:002011-06-17T11:58:50.568-04:00I am the loudest most outgoing gal I know but when...I am the loudest most outgoing gal I know but when it comes to a guy I like, I turn to butter. ridiculous. it's best explained in the song "Shy That Way" by Jason Mraz and Tristan Prettyman(who are actually engaged now)sarah ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06980366467835721323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-88208992858465971712011-06-17T11:44:46.422-04:002011-06-17T11:44:46.422-04:00Right there with you.

Our human instict to impress others is... well, complicated. It overtakes our senses sometimes. What a lovely feeling! But don't forget... it's okay to stutter and stumble and act like a young girl who doesn't know the first thing about love.

The right man doesn't need that performance--those scenes that make up the act of woo-ing. Because right men see you for you and not the actions that so many others have tried, desperately (and in vain) to imitate.
