I read a story yesterday about a guy from Ohio was leaving the grocery store. The skies opened up and water started to pour down. As he ran to his car in nearly blinding rain, he grabbed at the driver’s side door and yank the handle.

It didn’t open.

Shit.

As he got soaked, he yanked and yanked and yanked, but it wouldn’t open.

It was locked, but he didn’t lock it.

After a few seconds, he heard a scream.

He looked inside the car and saw an elderly woman sitting in the passenger seat with a terrified expression on her face.

WTF?

Then he looks one row over in the lot and saw his car calmly waiting for him.

He realized that he had run to an identical car to his and tried to yank the door open.

He’s sure that in the following years, that old woman repeatedly told the story of the time some crazy guy tried to break into her car and kidnap her.

Quite an interesting read.

Why am I’m telling you a story like this and how does it have anything to do with trying to get a date?

A lot if you think about.

Just imagine how scared that old lady was with some stranger trying to get in her car in pouring rain.

Not having a clue if he is going to kidnap her, rob her or even kill her if he gets in.

She was scared shitless and that brings me to you.

Fear is your greatest opponent when trying to talk to a girl you like.

You have no idea what’s going to happen when you go try to talk to her.

But you might not even make it that far because your fear sets in.

The fear of…

…being rejected

…getting embarrassed

…looking like a fool

…her not liking you

…failing

…getting a wrong number

…thinking you are out of her league

…not having a car she would like

…not wearing the brand of clothes she would like

…not having the right amount of money in your bank account you think she would like

All this fear is normal and good for other reasons.

But for you to take a shot and see what happens, it’s bad and causes paralysis.

No one ever knows what is going to happen when they talk to someone unless they can read minds or see the future.

That’s why you have to take chances.

If you never take a chance, how will you know if you are going to fail or succeed?

Stop making assumptions on things, it’s just a simple guess you make to justify your reasons for not trying.

Don’t be a punk all your life “what if’ing” yourself.

When you take chances, you build confidence, you grow tough skin and most of all you start to learn what you did wrong, fix and get better at it.

Then try again.

So if you aren’t taking your shots at the women you really like and just watching how jerks snatch them right from under your nose.

Then, the only person you should be upset with is yourself.

Stand and look at yourself in the mirror and commit today, that you will take a shot at that fine ass girl you’ve been wanting to talk to for the longest.

No, she doesn’t have a boyfriend yet, or maybe she does. If it hasn’t come out of her mouth then go talk to her.

The good news is you don’t have to go in blind.
