You Want to Talk About Scary…. Try Rejection!

I can't let the month pass by without doing something scary.

So I joined Match.com.

Doesn't sound scary to you?  Oh trust me, it's scary.  Not only are there some MAJOR weirdos in the universe, but it's the idea of putting yourself out there and basically waiting to be judged.

I do this every day in my career, rejection is a part of sales.  And I take it in stride.  But they are rejecting my SERVICES, not me!  This whole online dating thing is totally different.

I've done it before actually, but I don't remember it being as frightening to me back then.  Maybe I had a false sense of security, maybe I felt cuter than I do now, I don't know.  Either way, I feel almost like I'm on pins and needles to see who will like me.

I chose some pictures that I think are my best - but do they?  I wrote a bio that I think makes me sound cute and witty - but do they?  And I don't think this is all an insecurity thing, I know my value and worth.  I think it's like jr. high, just waiting to see what boys will look your way.

But hey, I'm ready to start dating again, so I'm putting it out and we'll see what I get back.  Stay tuned for date recaps….assuming I get one!  :)
