Ask Sandy…

by

So I received the following scenario via email today…

Anonymous email:
So little story/advice for an upcoming blog….hypothetically speaking: A young nurse is working a “spring break luncheon for other nurses for nurses week. One of the ladies got a “life guard” to come…very attractive single 22 yr old young man wanting to be a fire fighter.

All the nurses go back and forth saying oh blah blah blah u need to go talk to him and vice versa. The shy nurse hesitates as she is the youngest person in the room and feels awkward. Now what does she do since she looks like a jackass, is very unexperienced, and scared when it comes to this stuff? Does she give the lady who knew him her number or does she just brush it off? Advice?

Sandy:
YES i think the “young nurse” should definitely give out her number. BUT, before she does that, she needs to absolutely NEVER think of herself looking like a “jackass.” That is an absolute confidence killer. And an essential element here is confidence. It’s the only ingredient, really. And if she isn’t confident, make her fake it! Breathe, relax and take the opportunity by the horns!

What has she got to lose? Except not ever giving out her number and forever wondering what she might have missed out on… I think it’s at least worth a shot–especially since the other nurses were making a buzz about the “young nurse” because I can 97% guarantee they said something to him too– BUT, he was the one who was the fish out of water and was probably intimidated as heck to approach her because she was on the job and there were other nurses gathered around and and and i could go on and on…

The next time the young nurse gets a chance, I think she should mention something about him to the nurse who knows him and just ask if she knows what he likes to do for fun, where he went to school, what he studies/studied …why he wants to be a firefighter, etc…

Just relax, be yourself … If the nurse who knows him knows ANYthing at all, she’ll take the hint and slip her his number. Have fun with it and it will come naturally. “She’ll” be great :)

Sincerely,

Sandy

About Dating Outlook

What's not to like about dating? Plenty. The awkwardness, the drama and starting all over again (and again...) until we find that special someone. However, there are some pretty great things about dating and if nothing else, hopefully you meet some great people along the way. Stick around for some not so humble opinions, reflections and thoughts about the good, the bad and the downright ridiculous woes of dating.
