Job hunting and dating
I think I understand why it's hard for some guys to ask girls out. It's a lot like applying for a job. You send the company your resume and cover letter. You sell yourself and put yourself out there. Only you don't know if they're going to like you or reject you. It can be tough, but you've got to do it if you want the job. You've got to be in it to win it. You've got to be tough enough to handle rejection and move on.

That's true. In the immortal words of the bar maid from Win a Date with Tad Hamilton, "Honey, your odds go up when you file an application."
ReplyDeleteIt’s so much more than that. If you are asking out a friend, then your asking them out because you like them, and because you really enjoy their friendship. If they say no, the friendship will, most likely, never be the same or as close again and that's terrifying. If they say yes, then that's awesome, but then you're going out, and you don't really know what to do there either, and that's possibly even more terrifying, as, you like this girl, enough to risk your friendship over, and thus, you really don't want to stuff it up. So, either way, I find the process absolutely terrifying.
ReplyDeleteThat's true. Never thought of the friendship risk, which doesn't correlate with the job application analogy. You lose nothing applying for jobs. So fear not, Elsie.
