Courage is Key in Modern Dating
Hey Bro,
Courage is important, not just in life, but especially in dating.
I get a lot of guys asking for help with their romantic lives.
And when I ask, "When was the last time you approached a woman?" the answer is usually, “It’s been a while.”
Why, I ask?
“Because I’m scared of rejection,” they tell me.
Here’s the thing: we are ALL afraid of rejection.
Nobody likes being turned down.
Nobody enjoys being told they aren’t good enough.
It stings, and yeah, it can hurt our feelings.
But here’s the truth:
1. Rejection won’t kill you. It may hurt for a bit, but it won’t cause any real damage. And…
2. If you want to succeed in dating, you have to face it. There’s no other way.
The truth is, we’ve become a bit too cautious as a generation (this goes for Gen X, Gen Y, and Gen Z).
We live in a time where most of us haven’t faced real hardship like wars or famines. Instead, we’ve gotten used to comfort and avoiding pain whenever we can.
Sure, it’s great that life is safer now.
But on the flip side, we’ve grown soft. We see even the smallest inconvenience as a big problem, and we avoid anything that might hurt us, like rejection.
Here’s the reality:
If you want to grow, you have to face the hard stuff—even when it’s uncomfortable.
Approach that woman
Make that phone call
Ask for that promotion
Quit that job
End that bad relationship
Courage is everything.
Without courage, you can’t push yourself to get out of your comfort zone and live the life you want.
You need to be brave every day to improve and grow.
