I have no idea what I’m going to do. It’s the first time I’d been invited out on a date in over a year. I’m not a particularly social person and don’t have the confidence to asked those I’ve fancied out for dinner. I don’t want to invite people into my life, but if they are willing to walk into it I’m more than happy to have the company.

I‘ve been hurt too many times before and that is my way of protecting myself from any further scars. It’smy safeguard, my way of ensuring I don’t put trust in the wrong people who end up disappointing me. The guy at my local bakery has served me each afternoon for the past five years. I love our little afternoon chats, but I never thought he viewed me in a romantic way. When he invited me to a new restaurant that had just opened I was shocked and in a soft gasp, I accepted his invitation.

With the date fast approaching, I’m frantically trying to prepare myself. I don’t want to mess up this opportunity. I have decided the best thing to do, for my sanity and for my date’s sake, is to book in an appointment for laser hair removal. Melbourne is a progressive city where women are free to do as they please. It’s my choice to get hair removal, I’m not doing it to meet some expectations. That being said, I need the help of professionals to take care of my appearance, that way all I have to focus on is not making a fool of myself.

The one thing I was definitely going to have done is laser hair removal, but why stop at that? It’s been such a long time since I’ve had any romance in my life, perhaps I should try some other treatments. I’ve always thought my lips could use some more volume, and I’ve had a friend tell me all of the benefits of lip injections. Melbourne men probably don’t care about such things, it’s more of a confidence thing in myself. I have a good feeling about this, my life could use a little excitement.
