......I havent really moved things forward much. Im trying ......but its a lot harder .... she talks to me every class and leans in when she does and turns to looka at me every couple of minutes, .............I havent gotten around to throwing a party yet, prob next weekend......should I have asked her to come to a party with me at that point?
A: you should have said which party
you were going to
think? what is stopping you? what stopped you organising a party, or at least making a start on it? what stopped you deciding which party you were going to, or at least pretending to for the sake of the conversation...you could always have 'changed your mind' later. If she knew you were going to party A, then it might have helped make her mind up which party she was going to decide to go to!!! doh
you had a fantastic, but limited, window of opportunity ie halloween, and you let it slide by?
you want to make things different but you are still exactly where you were before? what is keeping you there?
"i'm trying....but its hard..." stop making excuses
simple you are stuck in your comfort zone. gr8 thing about that of course is that you dont have to worry about the risks of making a change? so how is that working for you? must be working pretty well cos you havent done anything about it. and if you dont do anything you will still be stuck there indefinitely.
its scary to come out of your comfort zone you need to acknowlege your fear of this and face it, use that to motivate yourself; decide you will not let your fears control you for another single day
make another goal: make yourself uncomfortable, take a scary step, be specific about how you will benefit from making this plan and use it to motivate yourself to move forward and set yourself a deadline, a date by which this will be acheived,
the alternative is that you wont do anything and all these windows of opportunity will slide by in the meantime - this is what you should be fearful of - because these same windows of opportunity will be available to everyone else too, and unless you use them, someone else will...guaranteed!
just dont do nothing, life rewards action
