I can't seem to take much inspiration from the bible as it's all template posts that attempt to apply to everyone. It's definately a great asset to the board to nearly everyone else but I need something directed to me, personally.
I'm going to my debs (equivalent of prom) with this girl that I do not know. My friend set it up. She's really good looking and everyone who knows her says she's easy to get along with.
Anyway, I first met up with her properly about 2 months ago. She had already agreed to go with me before this even though we didn't know each other. I was talking to her in this pub and everything was going fine I was talking to her quite a bit. I wasn't trying to score with her or anything, just getting to know her.
Anyway she goes out for a cigarette with a couple of my friends and when she came back in, she was saying how it's so weird the way we are going to the debs together because she's so loud and one of my (girl)friends had just told her that I was really quiet.
After hearing that,I started actually becoming really quiet. It was as if I couldn't act confident because I could not break the mould of my quietness, even though I hadn't been quiet before this.
I am not that loud of a person, I don't demand attention or anything but I am fairly confident. I'm just not in people's faces the whole time if you know what I mean.
I met up with her again last night in a friends house and, like before, it started off okay. We were talking and I was comfortable although still quieter than usuall because of what happened the last time. I left for a while with some friends and when I came back I didn't sit beside her. I think the seat was taken or something. Anyway she kept staring over at me and it just kept making me uneasy. I talked a bit among the group but not that much to her.
When we were leaving I was walking up the road with her and another friend when she said that I was so quiet and that it looked like she'd be doing most of the talking at the debs. She said this in a joking way but she obviously meant what she was saying. Before I could respond my friend jumped in saying leave him alone blah, blah, blah.. but he was messing too. It wasn't serious or anything because we were laughing. I tried to overcome my quietness and started talking to her more on the way home and the night ended a bit better.
I can definately tell that she wants me to talk to her more and she's not dismissing me because of this at all. But since she was told I was quiet, any time I've been around her I've acted this way because it's how she sees me. I can't seem to break away from this. I'm always confident around my friends. I'm always confident around strangers because I can come off confident if I want because they have no reason to doubt my confidence. But since she has the idea that I'm quiet in her head I act this way.
I know this is very long, sorry about that.
