This was spot on. As a new yopro (young professional) to the DFW area, I keep receiving the whole “when you stop looking, you will find her.” I’ve gone back and forth on whether to “work on myself” vs “shooting my shot”. All my close friends are in relationships but got with the first girl that came along (which is great…I guess?) It’s easy for them to pitch advice when they themselves haven’t passed the test of time (as in haven’t been single for more than a few months) . They don’t understand how you feel after seasons come and go and your foundation has grown stronger and have acquired higher self respect…yet you can’t seem to get it right with a special someone and wonder… why? I have found If you’re not giving a shit and trying on the notion that you may come off as desperate, (out of pride or whatever) there’s a dude out there that will and is trying. The stigma that “trying” means you’re desperate is compete bs. Nothing good ever came my way by sitting around and waiting on it. I’m working on myself each day. Conversely, I’m shooting my shot when it seems like the juice is worth the squeeze. A blend of both seems to be the best option for a 24 yr old trying to figure it all out in a new city.
Side note: A girl is the least of my worries though…at the moment making new friends has been far more challenging and awk.

Natalie, if you’re in TX. (Ever) first rounds on me. (And every one thereafter) (:
