At work yesterday my co-worker pointed out that i’ll never succeed if i never try. Sure, this seems like the most common sense fact that you’d ever heard, but i don’t think it had ever ocurred to me. We were talking about dating, and how i may or may not occasionally flirt with customers. My co-worker is of the mind that i could easily go out with many of our mid-to-late twenties female customers if i made an advance, but i balked because i haven’t even got dating experience with people my own age. And then he said it.

Why don’t i have dating experience with people my own age? Because i haven’t been able to succeed without trying. The few people i have ever actually approached to ask out fell through for obvious reasons; i’ve simply got to set my sights a bit more effectively and ask a bit more often. At least, that’s we he says…
