Why Confidence Is Still Key

"We already prepare ourselves for the worst and we haven't even stood up yet."

Why Confidence Is Still Key
The Huffington Post

A couple days ago a group of people and I were having a conversation on men and women, how we lack a lot of confidence to go up to a person we find cute and say something. Instead we use a middle man. Now! I'll be the first to say that I've done this. I have no room to talk because my confidence in getting up and talking to my crush is very low.

We are human, so we think a bit too much. Yes guys as well. What if they say no, but their friends are at the table with them, they won't like me. We already prepare ourselves for the worst and we haven't even stood up yet. Our what if's control our lives and give us regrets. Speaking of those. That's the biggest part in this all. If you don't get yourself up, walk over and say something, how do you know how it will end? I'll tell you how it will end if you don't do it. In regret. Instead of those what if's before the standing, you now have what if's after it. So here is your first and final step to this all.

BE CONFIDENT!

One of the main things that came up into this conversation was confidence. The question was asked, "so you're saying if I just walked right up to you, smiled, told you, you were cute and then asked for a date you'd say yes." The answer given in return was yes.

Does that sound odd to you? It shouldn't. Confidence makes you 20 times sexier then you were before. If you notice someone looking and smiling at you from the corner of the room, know they are already interested, they already find you cute. You'll become a lot more attractive if you get up and say something, instead of watching them walk away

People have said this many, many times and I know me saying it won't make a difference. The worst that could happen is they say no. My answer to that is if they say no and they don't even know you yet, are they really worth your time?

So here's my advice for you:

Find confidence.

Stand up.

Walk over there.

Say hello.

And let the adventures begin.

You won't regret it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
