Today I'm having a really hard time being confident. Confident in the fact that I know who I am and like myself regardless of others opinions. Today I started talking to a guy in my class, but I feel like I made an idiot out of myself. I guess maybe I am feeling a little stuck as far as options go, so in my mind, making a good impression on this guy was really important.
I really wonder if how proactive I am will really determine the outcome. Will I end up with the person I am "meant" to be with regardless of how much I put myself out there or how open I am in meeting new people?
How can I stay positive and really develop a love for the person I have become in spite of rejection? Our interpersonal relationships are our only avenue to how we develop our self esteem. However, I feel in relying too much on other people, I will lose myself to them. Ultimately I need to do the best I can with what I have. The thing that may be the biggest challenge is doing what I know is best for me and making that effort to rise to my potential.
Love you guys

It's definitely worth it to put yourself out there and even pursue! I asked my husband out on our first date and was definitely the pursuer in the relationship the first part of it. Obviously, it worked out for me! I flirted shamelessly with him the first summer we met and nothing happened, but the second summer, I finally got the guts to just ask him out and things were spectacular from there on out! Moral of the story: don't give up on people if they don't respond right away and it IS worth it to put yourself out there if it means the potential for love!
