Taste of courage
I have been recently getting more taste to be brave lately:
My last date, yesterday evening did not go as I expected as there were so many red flags.
(He talked about politics, talked more than I, tried to control what I chose on the menu, criticized the area where I live in in terms of religion and buildings, criticized my phone to be too old and that I need to buy a new version because it's running out of storage).
The hardest thing to me is to send a message to say that I am not interested because I am afraid sometimes to have an abusive response, but I had to do it. I am not going to continue blindly and being the painter 🖌️that says all is well, until I get into the relationship and I can no more.
Hence, I sent him a text, and I archived the conversation because I was so afraid to see his response and it would waste my day in case of abusive response.
Three hours later, I decided to look at his response and was surprised how positive it was and healing because now it gives me the courage to continue dating even more without being afraid to turn the man down.
One of the sentences he said in his response, was particularly healing to me because he said: "I would have loved to continue dating you, but it is how you feel it"
It is how I feel it 🙂💗
So, in brief, it helps me to continue sending messages like this if I didn't feel comfortable on a date without being afraid getting an abusive/inappropriate response.
PS: Another win is that I also sent for the third time an email to my manager asking for a raise even though she kept ignoring my emails, she finally responded and said she will give me an answer in a few days.
