Last Saturday the Wild Knight took a BIG chance for him. While at a local eatery with a group of friends he strikes up a conversation with a rather attractive and funny waitress. throughout the course of his meal our noble but shy knight realizes that he is NOT shy. Words are flowing from his mouth like water over a cliff. His hands are not clammy, he appears witty with a close view on charming. "This is not possible," thinks the young Knight. "For she is great of beauty and grace, surly this must be a dream?!?! I do not meet girls such as this and speak with such conviction and humor?!?!
As the meal draws to a close and checks are being paid, some of said friends notice our the young knight's interest in the fair maiden and encourage me to ask her out. "RIIIIIIGHT", thinks the Knight, "just what I need to end a great day ANOTHER Rejection, Another reminder that he is a Schmuck."
A prayer and a coin flip later. He is walking up to said maiden, NOT with fear or dread but knowing that yes or no saith she he has conquered his fear. He asks her out....She says........... YES!!! (You thought it was no. Come on some of you did???) BUT not only did she say YES; also that the errant knight seemed like a "nice guy and fun to talk to."
To wit the knight does a mental double take make sure she is not talking to some buff guy behind him. (there was not). For it was the knight to which she spoke to. Numbers were exchanged. Later that week so were email messages. A first date happened and the knight and the young maiden found they had allot in common. This lead to a late night for the Knight with the promise from the maiden that "we should do this again....SOON!" Now the knight is STILL doubting this (though not as much.) "Who is this girl, is she feeling alright." The knight thinks then and realizes that he complains about the bad and now is doubting the good being placed in his life. So he embraces the moment and a second date is planned.
Unfortunately he was so excited he got little sleep that night. YEAH Caffeine!!!
All because he took a risk and he allowed his personality to spring forth. HOLY CRAP!!!
Here's to taking more chances and kicking fear in the BALLS with a steel tipped boot with spikes on the toe!!!
The Wild Knight.
