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.
