Day 047 | Rather a firm ‘No’ than a ‘Maybe…’

I never cared much or was very good at the dating game. If I liked someone I’d text when I felt like it. If they didn’t respond or played the game with me, then I delete them from my mind.

There was two reasons for this. I didn’t want to be with someone who cared more about playing it cool for a day or two than acknowledging that we had a good date. And if didn’t respond because he didn’t think we had a good date then I’d rather know, move on and focus on something else. As such, if I thought it went well and wanted to see the guy again I’d text and by doing so I’d soon know if it was worth letting my mind drift of imagining what the next potential date, our life and growing old together would be like whilst at the same time analysing why he hadn’t been in contact yet and whether I should make the first move.

Straddling limbo not knowing where I stand is not my strong side. It takes up far too much of my mind and when it comes to networking and eventually meeting with potential investors about interest in our ideas, I’ll always take a definite ‘No’ over a vague and to be nice ‘Maybe’.
