shy
Does online dating
include consideration
of extreme shyness?
Annie Lennox told me, “Everybody’s looking for something.”
So then? Is there no one finding it? We make eye contact and gaze longingly across the bus, room, or into the next car, but then what? Can we call it a missed connection if we were just on the verge of connecting?
I practice a lot, so I can at least blurt out, “Hi.” (most of the time.)
But for most people I see, it looks like they just waded into a deep pool of stuck-ness.
I think it’s just force of habit, or some mis-guided self doubts that holds us all back.
Can’t we all order T shirts that read: “Hi. I’m worth getting to know.” ?
Missed Connections are filled with good, bad and shy-guy-haiku. Did you write one? Did you find one? Before you start making any t-shirts, email the link to Lovelorn Poets. We’ll preserve those soulfully-searching-syllables for all eternity.
