There are times when my best friend wants to play cupid and set me up with a guy. After I had turned down her attempts several times, she asked me why I don't want her to set me up with someone. The first reason is simple, I don't like it. Second of all, every time someone wants to set me up the guy is a complete asshole or he is just so full of himself. I know that my best friend wanted to help me, but I didn't needed it at that time. At that time three months had passed when I came out of a terrible relationship, and I really didn't needed a man. So my best friend gave up. Well I thought that she had given up. I think that only a week had passed before she wanted to set me up, again. I asked her if she remembered our conversation, but she promised me that she didn't want to set me up. So I was a bit surprised when she said that. But I know my best friend, and I knew there was a catch, so I asked her. She reminded me that we were going to a party and that her boyfriend will be there, with his best friend. So I immediately knew that not only she was involved in this but her boyfriend as well. My best friend said that she didn't ask her boyfriend that he needed to ask his best friend, I believed her actually. And she is that kind of person that doesn't know how to lie. So I went along with it and went with her to the party. When we arrived at the party, her boyfriend wasn't there but after a couple minutes he showed up, with his best friend. And might I add, his best friend is really hot. When they came to us the hot guy (the hot best friend) and I started talking and I liked it. My best friend hadn't said a thing, and I was grateful for that. At the party we ofcourse exchanged numbers and talked after that. After the party we talked through texts and Facebook. He started to interest me and I told my best friend that I wanted to ask him out. She looked at me like she was shocked. And I was shocked because she was shocked. I thought to myself is it so weird that I want to ask a guy to go with me on a date? Ofcourse not! I asked the guy out and he was happy that I asked him out and we went on a date. We dated for a while, but it didn't work out. Although I'm happy that I asked him out. Why? Because I liked him, and if you want something to work out, effort must come from both sides.
Obviously it didn't work out between me and that particular guy, but like I said I was happy that I asked him out. I am a woman that likes to decide for herself, so I did. The majority of society says that a guy should ask a girl out, not the other way around. And to me that is bullshit. If you really like someone ask them out. Confidence is so sexy. Remember that!
