good ideas Pom,

Dear Sad,

Did you ever of an 'act as if'.... meaning you act as if you are alright, are who you would like to be, and do it until it becomes real<>

If you haven't any dangerous issues, you might try an act as if ... it's a form of 'active hope' to me.

I used it alot when I made a move away from everyone I ever knew, and started a new life.

I acted that way when I dated a special guy... because I had been off the market for years before this, and it helped me.

I acted the wholesome catch I wanted to be, that was inside me, and authentic, instead of hiding it.

I got the Guy... even though I was the one initiating, it worked fine.

We all know deep down inside who we really are on some level, and if an 'act as if' will help us move forward, heck, all it's doing is postponing taking forever to do and act on what we might want or need to now.

Act as if you are the catch, offer a coffee meet to talk about a class, and see who 'he is' and how you both feel around each other.

That's my suggestion. You can do it!

Peace,
Night
