Things to note before shooting your shot as a lady
The idea of ladies shooting their shots has always generated mixed reactions. While some ladies feel it’s inappropriate, and would rather wait for the guys to take the lead, others say they wouldn’t mind. There is a sub-category that are not sure how to go about it.
Many ladies have tried in time past but failed which made them shy away from shooting their shots again, but imagine guys also do the same. How then will marriages continue considering the number of rejections thrown at them on a daily basis?
It will interest you to know that many ladies have gotten their dream men because they dared to shoot their shots. For instance, Peggy Ovire, a renowned Nollywood actress, revealed in a game played during her wedding that she made the first move and today she’s happy, just to mention a few. Everything boils down to your preference and how you see it. If you’ve been waiting on your crush but he’s yet to make any move and you are thinking about shooting your shot, or probably have an old friend/new acquaintance that you admire and would like to take a chance with, then you have to read on to see the important things you must note before shooting your shot.
Firstly, the thought of shooting your shot will stir different feelings in you ranging from boldness, to fear, uncertainty, nervousness, and the like. But regardless of how you feel, you need to embrace confidence to effectively carry this out.
Three key hacks to effectively shoot your shot
1. Preparation:
Before you shoot your shot, be clear about your intentions. Do you want a serious or casual relationship, or something else? What are his likes, where is the best place to meet and engage him in the conversation? Would you like to engage in the things he likes or be at his places of interest to increase your chances of meeting and discussing? Don’t forget to do a background check on him so you don’t shoot your shot at someone that will take advantage of you. An open place is better.
And as you prepare to make the move, also be prepared for rejection. He might not feel the way even if he is kind to you, and that’s fine. Remember that rejection is not a reflection of your worth.
2. Approach
Your approach matters and will make a big difference. You must believe in yourself and your worth, and don’t be afraid to go after what you want. Do you want to be indirect, show him the green light, or be upfront about what you want? If he seems uncomfortable or disinterested, it may not be the right time to shoot your shot. Take your time and remember to smile, be composed, and make the conversation as natural as possible: you don’t have to force it. Furthermore, you must also be ready to wait, as you can’t predict his response.
3. Outcome
Let me be honest, you can’t predict his response. It may or may not be in your favour. If he reciprocates your feelings, do well to take things slow. Getting to know each other better and building a strong foundation can help set your relationship up for success. It’s important to respect the other person’s boundaries. And if he’s not interested or doesn’t reciprocate your feelings, don’t push it. Respect his decision and move on.
