I am shy and have tried different things. Two months after my wife died I thought I would just get back on the saddle of the horse that threw me. Well that didn't work because the next one died, too. So I thought I would try getting my daughter to move in with me but she was satisfied where she was at. Then I thought well I will just remarry my ex for the third time. Luckily, I went to a meeting after that thought.laugh I thought checking myself back into rehab would be preferable to that or a rubber room.laugh So then I thought I would just go and pack everything into the car and just go live with this woman. Lasted about two weeks.laugh I couldn't get away fast enough.laugh So then I thought I would just try dating. But then the problem of money came up because of all of the bills I have. Then I thought I would move to live with my aunt. But then I really wanted to stay where I am. I really like it here and the dogs just love me. My latest thought is starting a commune.laugh

yea ok but there is that chance she'll say yes too. usually, when you're not looking for a relationship that's when comes at you. you've got to have confidence in yourself and be comfortable in your own skin

Ya see guys, Peaches admits it. She has fear, too, so if you show her you ain't got no fear, she'll think your confident.

Watch!!
Hey Peaches darling would you like to meet for a coffee at Starbucks. You set the time and date and I'll be there.

Truly your,

Bear

you just gotta believe 110% that there are plenty of fish in the sea. A good way of calming down is to just go with the flow, be in the moment and have fun.

if you're going up with fear of rejection you're thinking "FUTURE" when you should be thinking "NOW"
