10 Year Old Pick Up Lines or How to Meet Women in Fifth Grade
We were having dinner nearby and I noticed the waitress glancing at my older son Liam, who is cursed with being even shyer than I was at that age.
I brought up the fact that he doesn’t even notice girls checking him out, something that might be helpful when you’re in the dating stage. Some eye contact wouldn’t hurt.
Caleb offered his technique for getting someone to check you out. “You tell them to look at your shoes, and when they look down then up, they’ll check you out!” !!?!
A little more talk about dating and shyness and Caleb puts things in 8 bit perspective.
“Pretend you’re Mario. You have to go through a lot of Goombas before you get to Princess Peach. And you might have to fight Bowser. But there isn’t a game-over because you go to the next Princess.”
There is no game-over, there are a lot of Goombas, you will have to fight Bowser and there is always a next Princess.
So keep moving, life is simpler than we make it. Be comfortable with yourself, try things, try different things. The world turns and life goes on.
