Dating Series Part 2: Shooting ya Shot

Welcome back to the dating series y'all! First off, if you haven't read Part 1 (Recruitment Szn) of my Dating Series, go check that out first!!!

I'm just gonna jump right into it and let you know that shooting your shot can be the most challenging aspect of cuffing szn... but why? Shooting your shot requires not only effort but some confidence, but a lot of this depends on the circumstances with your person of interest. For example, if it's somebody you do know and have spent time talking to, then you probably have a grasp of what they're looking for and if you can play the part, and if you have a sense they're feeling you then that makes it so much easier. When you're talking to someone, take note of their likes/dislikes, which not only tells you about who they are, but lets you know if you'll be compatible. From there, when you know for sure you want to But on the other hand, if its someone you don't know (ex. someone you may follow on social media) then thats when it becomes harder. For any person reading this, I'm about to give you tips on properly shooting your shot (well, at least in my eyes 😊). First off, don't go sliding into dms demanding a number or any kind of attention, start off with "Hey, my name is/I am ____, and..."; but don't drag out the small talk for too long cause that's also a way for the other person to lose their possible interest. I personally find it to be super pushy for any guy to just message me saying "let me take you out" or "Let me get your number", especially if I don't know them very well, EARN MY ATTENTION, period. Give them a compliment and let them know you'd like to get to know them, and then ask if it's possible to further the conversation outside the dm. Not only is it respectful, but you're giving them the choice of how they want to keep in contact with you (if they decide to). I recommend to keep it very simple, and don't try any corny pick-up lines because depending on the person it might not be flattering. Most importantly folks, the same energy to get that person is the same energy to keep them, so don't start lacking after you've successfully got their attention, you're still able to lose them. And aside from that, hold yourself to the same expectations that you would have for the other person, and don't seek qualities in someone else that you don't have within yourself. Lastly, be yourself, be honest, and don't pursue anyone who isn't seeking what you're looking for. Love yourself, and know your worth kings and queens!
