over the past few weeks i've been making a conscious effort to become bolder, but i think it may have partially backfired.
firstly, i got a job as a waitress at hooters (since i know that only my good friends read this - i have no problem posting this... let's not spread the word too broadly ladies haha). i've been taught how to wear eye-liner, memorized the over 70 types of alcohol we sell, perfected hula-hooping, and learned to be a more assertive, confident individual - all while smiling, wearing little orange shorts and getting folks to buy beer. i know that there are people out there who think it's an awful establishment that exploits women, but i truly believe it's helping me to become more like the person i want to be. you CANNOT lack confidence when you are wearing tube socks with pantyhose and trying to learn the bar stool trick in front of a section full of guests. this is the part of my plan that has seemed to work in my favor.
however, my second attempt did not go quite so well. i may or may not have told a boy that i liked him. i also may or may not have scared him. i don't think he understood that 'i like you' is NOT equal to 'i want to date you,' but instead 'i enjoy hanging out with you, and would like to see you occasionally.' if being bold results in people misunderstanding me and high-tailing it out of my life, my plan to live a life more courageous obviously needs a little revision.
lesson learned: when being bold - be clear. say what you actually mean, and say all of it.
next step in the becoming a bolder more confident me = learning how to dance. this will hopefully be implemented this weekend ;]
