I have waited until this morningto give my date challenge update because first of all I've been really busy at work and also my DD totally hogs the computer. Then when I do have computer time at home, she hangs around looking over my shoulder! I hate that!
I'll start with Friday the 10th. One of my girlfriends and I went to the boat that evening and I was psyched to do some major flirting that evening. Had to fill up the car before we left and there was this guy filling up his jeep with a canoe strapped to the top. Any other time I would not say anything, but after paying for the gas before I got in the car I looked at him and said Hi, nice canoe. Think I saw a flash of gold on his finger, it was kind of dark so couldn't really tell, but it was good practice. We get there with our big $50 and I'm walking around looking ;) Every where I turn there was nothing but major GOMERS! I kid you not, most of them even had on velcro shoes. Lord help me. I had told my friend on the way over about the challenge so she was half way taking the challenge to. We laughed about it all the way home both of us $50 poorer. The following days after that? GOMERS! In the grocery stores, the quik stop, everywhere. I had got in line at the grocery store on Sunday and there was gentlemen in front of me. He looked decent from behind, nice hair, average build, okay kinda guy, but then he turned around! Some of his teeth were missing! Surprised he didn't have on velcro shoes.
And I know OLD wasnt' really counting, but I sent out some emails too. Got a few replies, replied back to them with a couple of non-personal questions, and nothing. I try but I don't have much luck with OLD.
Anyway girls that's my date challenge update. I'm glad I took it though because it did encourage me to flirt. And I haven't stopped either. I have at least been making the effort.

That's awesome, though... You are getting out there and taking chances and having fun while you're doing it. That's what it's all about... and the more you flirt, the easier it will be and the better your chances for getting a "Date Worth Keeping". Yay!!
"gomers".... that's funny. my girl friends and I had a nickname for lame rejects.. we called them M.R.s for Mr. Rejects...hehehe....
That is a great start - don't stop!!
I am laughing at your GOMERS term and definition - that is a riot!!
Hey Emma! I really wanted to tell you how great I thought you did with getting out and trying! I think it's really awesome!
I know how hard it is for you to be open up because you are a bit shy, but I just think this is an incredible step towards a more self assured you. Doesn't have to be a date or anything. The whole point was to go out and just give it a little whirl of womanhood.
Care to share how you felt each time you tried to make an interraction? Did you do anything special to encourage yourself? Did you do any of the mirror excercises?
Thanks so much for reporting back.

No I didn't do anything. Just went out and had some fun for a change. As far as for how I felt with the interraction...only interacted with the canoe guy getting gas. Made me feel nice though. The rest were big time Gomers as I said so there wasn't a whole lot of interraction goin on. LOL
It was fun though and I haven't stopped really. Been emailing on POF and also reminding myself to flirt wherever I am. Sometimes you get so caught up in what you are doing that your forget to flirt every now and then.
Thanks for reminding me.
