Woke up feeling kinda meh about my dating life lately, you know? Like my vibes were totally off. Saw this Ganesha horoscope thing specifically for Virgo love today when scrolling through some app, so thought, “Heck, why not try it?”
Here’s exactly what I did:
First, dug through my closet to find something green like it suggested. All I had was this old forest-green t-shirt with taco stains, but threw it on anyway. Thought about wearing jewelry too but found zero green accessories, so grabbed my roommate’s cactus-shaped keychain and clipped it to my jeans. Improvise, right?
Next tip was about speaking positive affirmations out loud. Locked myself in the bathroom and mumbled at the mirror: “I am lovable… my vibe attracts… uh… good stuff?” Felt super awkward but kept going. Pro tip: run the faucet while doing this so roommates don’t hear you talking to yourself like a weirdo.
The real challenge:
Had to initiate convos instead of waiting around like usual. Messaged that guy from coffee shop last week whose number I’d been sitting on. Typed and deleted five times before sending: “Hey remember me? You had cool shoes lol.” Not my smoothest moment but hey – Ganesha said initiate, so I hit send.
- Made direct eye contact with barista when ordering (usually stare at phone)
- Told my mom “love you” unprompted (she asked if I was sick)
- Complimented coworker’s ugly sweater vest (it had badgers doing yoga)
Honestly felt like a walking inspirational poster all day.
How it actually went down:
Coffee shop guy replied! We’re grabbing drinks Friday. BUT he thinks the cactus keychain was a “unique fashion choice” which… okay. Did I manifest attention? Technically yes. Did it work how I pictured? Not exactly. Still counting it as a win though.
Final verdict? Some tips felt silly AF but making those small changes did make me feel more confident. Might keep the eye contact thing. Ditching the taco shirt though.
