Would you like to hang out on Saturday?

As with seeking the right job, if I don't put myself out there and take chances I will not meet people that will make awesome friends or a special partner.

On Monday the "new friend" I meant to call, sent me an e-mail. I was going to call him because I inadvertently deleted his e-mail address. Well, I asked him if he wanted to hang out this weekend. We are going to meet up at the mall. Usually, I would find a group that's having an event. I never really put myself out there re: trying to build a foundation for a solid friendship. Maybe it was due to fear of rejection or anxiety. I don't know. But, me asking him is a big step for me.

Other big steps I have taken: striking a conversation with strangers (They were talking about Amtrak. I jumped in. The elderly lady didn't mind. Her daughter did. I didn't care.); saying hello to everyone I make eye contact with; posting a message on my book club message board asking if any members that work in my neighborhood would like to get together for lunch; exchanging numbers with someone I wouldn't normally hangout with, but may make an awesome friend.

I know that not everyone is going to want to be friends with me or talk to me. If a potential friendship or relationship ends, I shouldn't beat myself up.

As with seeking the right job, if I don't put myself out there and take chances I will not meet people that will make awesome friends or a special partner.
