I am very shy but I have been trying to convince myself that I need to be assertive and find new ways to meet men. So last Sunday, I was walking towards a bicycle shop to have a flat fixed on my bike and as I approached, I noticed an extremely handsome man leaning against a railing. I wanted him to notice me, to start a clever conversation, but shy as I am, I just walked past him with my bike. As soon as I opened the door to the shop, I heard the man’s sexy voice, ” Well, h-e-l-l-o there!”
I stopped dead in my tracks, collected all my passive assertiveness, turned around and responded, “Well, h-e-l-l-o to you too!”
He smiled politely, pointed to the earpiece and whispered, “Sorry, I’m on the phone.”
