I recently attended the Litmus Live email conference in Boston where I was in #EmailGeek heaven. Two days of people speaking my language and in return understanding where I was coming from.

So when I opened my registration bag I surely did not think things could get any better, but oh boy did they ever! In there was a bright, smiling, happy face that read; “I’m shy! But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to talk.” How brilliant is that? For a conference of #EmailGeeks who probably spend most of their time alone behind a computer trying to make an email look good in Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo, and the other 40+ email clients - this is a lifeline.

Granted, you have to wear the sticker first - but if you do, then a whole new world should open up to you - right? I mean that’s what is being implied in the rhetoric from Litmus.

So, I thought how this could work in my dating life. What if I made these stickers and started wearing them around town? Mine would say something like; “I’m shy and haven’t had a proper date since the Real Housewives of NYC started . . “ Oh wait - that might attract the wrong kind of, um, guy. Let’s rethink this. “I’m shy and haven’t had a proper date since the Giants last won the Super Bowl. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to have a good time!” Wait, does that make me sound like I just want to get freaky right when I meet them?

Ok, let’s try; “I’m shy, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to go on a date. But, I might say “no” if you are strange or something.” Now that last part I probably should not tag on, but I thought I needed a disclaimer or something so they don’t think this is a sure thing or anything.

How about; “I’m shy, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to go on a date with a guy in Wilmington. All exclusions apply.” I thought I should add the sex and location - oh and the legal part. A girl’s got to be careful.

So if I make these and then I guess wear them to the grocery store and - oh I’ve got it - man heaven - LOWE'S! (Home Improvement for anyone outside of NC/SC). Let’s hope it will be worth it to shave my legs for this.
