Valuable lessons in Dating.

Yesterday was Sunday which included Church and then a fireside to follow. The fireside was about Dating and it was great!It was long.. but, great valuable lessons. The fireside was about a web blog turned Book "31 dates in 31 days" by Tamara Duricka Johnson. The best part is that not only was the author their in person, but she was Mormon!(me too) I loved it when I first heard about the fireside and actually looked at her blog after hearing all she had to say. Here's the blog link: So the super "Me" summed up version is that she(me too) was tired of being single and wanted to start anew. The idea ultimately meant to start fresh, go on first dates, have fun and just enjoy the process without any expectations. So, she went on 31 dates in 31 days, had a second date with one of them and ended up marrying the same guy! It's pretty official that she's a Rockstar! In the church alot of times dating isn't easy... like AT ALL! Especially to a Convert looking in.(also like me)So, because of that I have decided to really put myself out there and start dating. I feel like this experience will take time and also building my confidence. One of the Prime Lessons that I learned from Tamara's talk was to just say "Yes". Yes to anyone that asks for a date and/or anyone that I wouldn't normally go for. I should give everyone a chance and that's exactly what I'm going to do. The only problem is that will those same people have the same motto as me, the "Yes" to anyone motto. I just hope to be given a chance as I am giving a chance to everyone else. Another Great Valuable lesson was just because you went on a date with a person and sparks did not fly that doesn't mean it's a dead end. The reason for this is because they have friends! One of those friends could be the one and even your future spouse. So... You...Never...Know... :) So we shall see where this goes!
