so I decided to ask a guy out on a date, he just wanted to be friends. I was a little sad about it for a couple of days, but I saw him yesterday (first time in the week since I asked him) and I went with the mindset of being completely normal.

I'm really happy, nothing changed, it didn't feel awkward at all, I wasn't sad. I'm really proud of myself because I feared rejection so much, but actually... I'm happy to know where I stand. I expected to be a jealous bitter mess or something, but I wasn't. I was just happy for things to stay normal. In the past I would have just been super sad around them, feeling not good enough. But I realised just because one person isn't attracted to you, doesn't mean other people wouldn't be and it's better to know that so you can look towards finding someone who does like you!

I'm just feeling super proud and wanted to share!!
