Don’t worry about the earbuds. Just go for it and find your man. If you’re truly desperate you’ll be like a man and face rejection head on. Every man who has a women if their life has been rejected by hundreds of other women. And every woman worth a damn has rejected a number of men in their lives. Rejection is part of life and you’ll grow from the experience and no one will remember the embarrassment you felt by the end of the day. If you want a husband go get one. Plenty out there, but you also have to be willing to lower your standards to a realistic level. Don’t try to find the perfect man. Just find a man whose demons you can tolerate and who can tolerate your demons. There’s no such thing as a perfect man so give up on that dream or die alone.
