I've missed out on opportunities before because I just can't fathom a man being interested (once I was even hit on in a supermarket and skittered away like a spooked deer). But if the conversation is fascinating, it's a good bet he finds you fascinating too. Good luck!Anne Elliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830851999509649333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586889322001976439.post-80725629099800680312011-07-04T00:03:08.548-06:002011-07-04T00:03:08.548-06:00Thanks for posting this ... I needed it tonight! ...Thanks for posting this ... I needed it tonight! I'm in my early 40's ... LDS ... never married. Did a good amount of dating when I was inactive in my 20's, but haven't done much since I returned to church at the age of 30 - esp in the last 6 or 7 years. <br /><br> <br />I do the same thing as you seem to: talk myself out of believing that anyone could actually be interested in me (mostly due to my own insecurities about my appearance - also, mostly weight-related). <br /><br><br />I met a guy on a plane earlier this week - he lives in my same area. After we landed and got off of the plane he surprised me by giving me his name and # and said he'd like to get together sometime - and then we stood and talked for 30 more minutes before I had to meet another family member at her gate. <br /><br><br />I haven't had a guy show interest in me, in person, in probably over 10 years. So, I was quietly excited about his interest at first, but as some days have passed, I've been talking myself out of the whole thing - he seems too normal and nice-looking to actually be interested in getting to know me better. <br /><br><br />However ... after reading your post, I am not going to let myself fall into that trap! Maybe nothing at all will come of it, but I am going to make an effort to get in touch with him this week and trust that he wouldn't have made such an effort if he wasn't actually interested. <br /><br><br />Thanks, again, for your post! : )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
