Ask Bryn
Q: I feel inadequate when standing next to my idol, how can I improve myself to reach his great level?
A: The question is not, “how can I improve myself?”, but how can I utilize my talents and gifts to become someone I am unashamed and proud to be. Do not reach for another’s level, it is theirs. Instead climb the ladder of discovery and self belief and reach your own level. Don’t fall off the fucking ladder though, always have three points of contact.
Q: How do I deal with every woman in the city going after my man? He is a rugged, successful American businessman that all the women seem to want. How do I make all these hussies back off?
A: Jealousy is a burden on any relationship. Firstly you need to consider whether you trust the person that you are with. Secondly, open a dialogue and make sure that you are on the same page when it comes to exclusivity in your relationship. Thirdly, you need to realize that he is with you for a reason. Maybe he feels the same about you.
Everyone deserves to have that person to take on the world with, the person that they trust and confide in – including you young lady.
If the dialogue does not work and you are still feeling the same. Don’t be afraid to slap any bitch who tries to steal your man!
Q: Hi Bryn, hoping you can help, I’ve never had any luck with romance, I work in a job that is kept incredibly busy in this city but through this I have met someone who just ticks all the right boxes, they’re funny, smart and inquisitive, they always look good too! Thing is, I’m too afraid to approach them with my feelings. They have a pretty busy job themselves and have their sights set on greater things, I feel like I would just get in the way/get rejected and it would sour the relationship we already have, which has so far been on a purely professional basis. What would you recommend I do in this situation? Please help!
A: Confidence is key for you reader. You need to have the belief in yourself that you are good enough for this person. It is OK to be afraid, we all have our moments, and we will all get rejected at certain points in our life. It is better to have tried and failed than to live with the regret of what could have been.
What is the worst that will happen? Let’s say you approach this person and tell them how you feel. Maybe they don’t feel the same? In all likelihood there will be a little tension, but the effect of that tension will pale in comparison to the longing you will feel if you do not try.
Go for it. Grab them by the metaphorical balls (or physical if they are into it, folks are weird these days)!
