In response to:
Now don't give me the usual "it doesnt matter who you are" and blah blah blah. I want some serious feedback, opinions and feelings here. Have you ever felt lke this??
I have been chatting with a guy online for awhile off and on. We have taken it very slowly and have become good friends. Very recently I have noticed he has started adding "babe" and "sweetheart" into the mix and has been talking about things on a more personal level. Even though he lives pretty far away, he asked me out to dinner next month. I said sure. Heres the problem....
He is a very busy man. He said he was in the medical software business. I thought he worked for the company and din't think anything of it. The other day I called the number he gave me llong ago. (I was seeing somebody so hadn't planned on using it.) He wasn't there but a company name was said on the machine. I looked the company up and discovered it's a HUGE company with offices all over the world. I was impressed that he worked for what seemed like a great place.....until I saw a mission statement. At the bottom was HIS NAME and "PRESIDENT/CEO". He freaking owns it. I am a waitress. I am smart but have a limited education. I instantly felt inferior and am honestly afraid of disapointing this guy now. Have you ever felt this way?
I went and got an education later on in life, will graduate this year for the second time, and doing my Masters next year. Let me tell you, anyone can get a degree, all it takes is perserverance. This man is probably looking for someone who makes him feel good, regardless of what ones station in life is, that can always be changed my friend. If I were you, and I wish I was, I would go for it! Never be intimidated, hold your head high, and be proud of what you are, and what you can accomplish in the future. Besides, sometimes it is the little things, our daily kindness to a stranger that can save lives, something waitresses do quite frequently I believe. Take care, and good luck!
