The journalist approach
The other day, as I was walking the streets, looking for people to talk to about dating issues, I had an epiphany.
Every day, reporters, writers and broadcasters put themselves out there for their stories. You often face rejection -- because people are busy, they don't want to talk about that topic, they don't trust the media -- but you persevere, and sometimes you end up having some pretty cool conversations with people and having some really cool experiences. As a reporter, even if you've been rejected the last 10 times, you have to get back up, dust yourself off, believe that you will get the story and try until you're successful.
It's kinda like dating. You're gonna meet some duds, you're gonna face some rejection, but you just have to believe that you will meet someone you connect with and try until you're successful.
Does it sound like I'm on to something here?
