A couple years ago, I ran across a profile of a guy on a dating site. VGL, had a great profile, etc. Anyway, I was gonna say hi, but thought "Nah, he won't be interested".
By coincidence, I ran into him in real life a couple days ago (I remember his pic very vividly), and lo and behold, he asked me out on a date.
So, never again will I let the fear of rejection stop me.
