People saying, you got to be comfortable with rejection. You have to understand that I think y' all are taking a lot of this very seriously. Meaning y' all are going and talking to these guys or going out and hoping that these guys will talk to me in the same way that you were hoping that they were going to ask you to dance at the dance.
Girl, don't play this junior high game, okay? You're gonna have to kind of talk with a lot of different people.
I think we are, like. We're going from zero to a hundred, and we're trying to figure. We're trying to, like, get his number to try to make him my husband, right? When you're out and about this, too much pressure. Girl, have fun. Talk to as many people as possible. I don't want you to think about this in terms of, did I get the number? Did I not get the number?
