Personal - 1 Month 'Vacation' in Dallas
10 years ago
General
I wanted to let those that might be happy to hear this know that I'm currently in Dallas! I'll be here about a month as part of a sabbatical, a break from the mundane day to day that I've been stuck in for the last year or so. I want to get out and be social and hang out with new groups across this month. I haven't really been involved in the local furry scene in the Austin area due to all of the segregation and privacy that just doesn't sit well with me. I know that Dallas is very open and encourages public attendance and I love that new people are so welcomed.
I'm currently staying with Zapper and Hart in the Duncanville area, but I have no problems with driving anywhere in the DFW metroplex for a decently fun time. I'll even pack my sleeping bag and pillow if need be. But really, I do want to get out more and do new things. I'll be staying here through Furry Siesta and I will be heading back home immediately following that to resume responsibility on events locally.
Looking forward to hanging out with some of you. :)

But yes, definitely going there. It's probably my best chance to meet someone, but I fully admit I need a wingman or else I will just clam up and run out of things to say immediately.
I looked for Meetup groups and came up completely empty. I'm thinking of creating an OKCupid profile for this adventure and trying to arrange park walks and such to meet such people, but I'm just so bad at this 'flirting' thing. Haha...
My trouble with OKC is that I have to put forth the initiative, but I'm absolutely terrible at that. I've never had anyone offer to sit down with me and make it happen, and to help me continue to put in the effort. It's something I want, sure, but it's like, no one understands the incredible anxiety I end up facing when I start to think about it. I've had so many bad experiences with deception and getting my hopes up only to have bad stuff happen that I can't bring myself to make the effort on my own no matter how much I hate being alone.
*sighs a bit* I need to go shower. *zones out*
