A Trip
Hey! I just made an account here and I wanted to share my problem.
I met a girl, she's 21, I'm almost 18. I like her a lot and we're planning a roadtrip together. Mountains, hiking etc. is something that we both love. But the thing is, I'm really insecure and shy. I really wanna go with her and finally be back in the mountains, but my anxiety is blocking me. I'm afraid that I'll be awkward and I won't say a thing. She's so pretty, positive and charming, while I'm not the prettiest and I just feel not enough to hang out with her. On the other side, I'm sure that if I won't go I'll be super mad about myself, I want to go out of my comfort zone and I have a feeling that it might be the best trip of my life, but at the same time I'm so insecure... What should I do? 😔
I think you should go. Kids today never want to do anything cept sit on their computers, social media, video games, and TV. When I was your age, we had hobbies, but .. I'd be too scared to go in the mountains! Once, I went to Jalisco, Mexico City, and Guanajuato in Mexico. My husband took me to this church called Cristo Rey and it's waaaay up on a mountain. I almost puked when we got to the top! You got guts to climb a mountain! Appearance isn't crucial. When you turn my age, you'll realize that personality and life goals matter more than what car they drive or who they last saw in concert. I've always been a little shy too. The key is, if the conversation starts to get boring, start talking about something you like a lot, but always keep it going. New dates don't call back the silent, boring people. I hope you do go. :)
