RemindMe ! 11 hours <| sep |> I remember when I first got into dating after taking a 2 ish year break . I had gotten out of a pretty serious relationship and wanted time to myself for a while . Anyways , I remember those first few dates . I had thought they ' d gone wellthey didbut it ' s all relative . The first few dates you go on might feel awesome as long as it wasn ' t a complete bomb because you ' re finally putting yourself out there . Which is a brave and awesome thing to do ! ! Just remember that the people you go out with might have been doing this for a bit , while you ' re just getting back into the game . I went on LOTS of dates . So . Many . I would pretty much agree to a date with anyone as long as I was somewhat attracted to them , and the conversation was good . The more I went on , the more I became the person who was looking for that certain spark . Each date got easier , and eventually I found that spark for myself . I guess what I ' m trying to say , is don ' t let it get you down ! Keep on it , if that ' s what you want to do . Go out as much as you can . It gets easier the more you do it . And while I certainly did have some disappointments along the way , every single one of those was worth it to get to where I am now . And honestly , you should be proud of yourself . If nothing else , I ' m proud of you . Getting back out there is a really hard thing to do . But you did it ! And that ' s something worth celebrating . Keep your head up , you ' ve already made the first step !
