No worries

It's an Aussie saying I picked up from my old IRC chatting days way back a decade ago or so.

And it really summarizes how I feel about things. I basically don't worry about anything. Situations have a way of working themselves out, whether social or work or whatever. Basically I don't stress out about most everything.

As you may know from my previous blog posts that there is one thing I do stress out about, but I am working on it. I stress about women and dating.

Now, I get along well with women in general, more so then men actually, and I am a good friend. "Safe" is the word most likely. Anyway, the stress comes when I start thinking about dating or asking for a date with one of the women I know. I worry about what they will say, what stupid things I might say (above and beyond normal) and if by asking, I will ruin the friendship we have. Basically anything to do with changing from friend to something more.

Anyway, it is something I have been working on recently. For the most part, I shouldn't have to worry about how things will change. The people I am friend's with usually understand. And if they don't, then they really aren't friends now are they? As far as saying stupid things, I do that anyway, it's how I am. :)

The problem I see is that I sorta change. I change from the easy going, devil-may-care attitude that I usually have into someone who tries to say the right thing or tries to impress or any number of things.

I guess I have just been thinking about me and potential relationships because of Valentine's Day. And just an FYI, I have never had a Valentine. Well maybe the twins in 3rd grade count but it has been a while since then. :)

So, I guess I just have to work on my stress response when it comes to dating, and I should be fine. Just a matter of doing it rather than thinking about it.

No worries. :)
