I get funny looks from people when I tell how I made my boyfriend's acquaintance.
  • You need to admit that you are emitting

    Kansasgirl has it:

    It's all about you and your presentation of the story. It's about your own energy when responding to the question. It's about your handed-to-them-on-a-silver-platter embarrassment. We are all walking sensors, with antennae that reach out into an infinite number of spaces and directions. We respond to what comes toward us. We respond to what people emit. And we mirror it back to them. You are emitting unease and your friends are responding PRIMARILY to that. When you yourself make an internal shift, the world will shift with you.

    It's so simple. Buddhist even. Smile. Breathe. Inhale your good fortune for finding a lovely new boyfriend. Exhale and share your sense of gratitude with those who ask you questions.
