I've made a few profiles here and there. I've never really done much with them. My brother, however, manages to get himself quite a lot of "casual encounters" through online dating though - in fact it's his primary method of picking up.

#137- What was one time you were braver than you normally are? Did you push past your normal social insecurities and ask someone out? Did you pull someone out of the way of a car, or stand up to an authority figure even though they could have made things tough for you? Did you try skydiving or bungee jumping? What do you think inspired you to go outside your normal comfort zone?

Normally one would think my bravest moment was the one everyone already knows about, when I beat the living crap out of a national guard who was beating my mom, but nope, that was not it, that was me being me, I've always jumped in to protect my family, even since I was a kid, if a bully was messing with my little brother, I'd knock one of his teeth out, ect.
No, my one moment of bravery was when I confessed my feelings to the love of my life.
I've always been TERRIFIED when it comes to romance. I've had a few crushes in school, yet never had the courage to say a single word to them in the entire school year, so here was this woman, who got to know me by visiting me and the other inmates, became close friends, yet I never dared to make the move "past friends" when I was locked up. Once I got out, I sought her out, began assisting her church, lending a hand on their charity missions, ect.
Eventually, I worked up the courage to invite her out, nothing official, just go watch a movie (Mr & Mrs Smith), dine something, ect. And it was during the dining that I just blurted it all out. I knew I would never have the courage to just tell her how much I loved her, in a slow detailed way, so I just spit it all out before I chickened out of it. It sounded something like this:
"
forthelongesttimeivewantedtotellyouhowmuchyoumeantomeandnowisasgoodatimeasanysohereitisiloveyoumorethananythingintheworldevenmorethanvideogamesandidmakeyoujustashappyificouldbeyourboyfriend
"
(Translation: For the longest time I've wanted to tell you how much you mean to me, and now is as good a time as any. So here it is: I love you more than anything else in the world, I love you even more than videogames, and I'd make you just as happy if I could be your boyfriend.)
Then proceeded to bury my face on the menu -_-
I was somewhat expecting her to say no (wasn't exactly good looking, was in a very horrible financial situation, had been involved in prison, lets be honest, I wasn't exactly a good sell) but magically she said yes

When I came out to my parents.

I'm an average sized guy. When I was young, I was pretty small, much smaller than average. When I was 13 I was frail even. I was pretty underfed, skinny, and short. My uncle was a large abusive drunk man that my mom allowed to hang around the house for some reason.
Anyway, one day when I was 13 I was sitting on the toilet. I was home with my uncle, and my 2 brothers. My brothers were 2 and 4. Suddenly, I heard my uncle screaming, and then my brother start crying. I pulled up my pants and ran out of the bathroom. When I got out there, my uncle was sitting in the living room and my 2 year old brother was crying. I looked at my uncle and I asked him what happened. He got up fast and charged at me, and then told me to shut up. I stood my ground, looked him in the eye and told him to leave my brothers alone. He then told me that he would kill me someday. I didn't say anything or react, just stared him down. He walked off. That was the first time I stood up for myself, and I haven't let anyone walk on me since.

Well done MyTie. Standing up for yourself is a very empowering feeling.

Is your sexual orientation common knowledge among Wowhead? Because I was certainly unaware.

Lol, don't think it's as common as you think it is Funden; like I said a while ago, I had been under the impression you were still at the bi stage.

I'm in the same boat as Mr. rank here, albeit on a different level. My bravest moment(s), that I can remember, have happened just this summer. Most of you know about my timidness, and luck with the ladies (they feed off of each other, it seems), so it should be no surprise that I admit that my bravest moment involves a girl. I figure it's story time, again.
Meet the cast:
Me: Played by me
The girl: Played by Rose
The ex/"good friend": Played by Noah
The close friend: Played by Joey
I think most of you know that I am indeed in a relationship now (That's part of my bravest moment), and that earlier in the summer, I told my partner my feelings for her. Under normal circumstances, that's no easy task, but this was a rather special case.
See, this school year (2012) Rose was dating Noah, a "good" (at the time) friend of mine, and through him, we became friends. Near the end of the school year, things started to fall apart. Me, being me, and a good friend (at least, I like to think so), saw that my friend didn't really seem to care, so I started talking to her about it.
Things led downhill for them, and she broke up with him on June 8th (Also the last day of school). I talked to her about that as well, consoling her, etc. and eventually we started talking daily, and I even got invited to a group movie night with her and some of our friends (Note that that never happened over the course of the school year).
That night, I talked to one of my close friends, Joey, (who I often talked to about relationship stuff, who happens to be a close friend with her AND her ex with) about the situation between her and her ex, and he said that he took her side, and the next day, I told him the situation, and asked him how I should proceed. He reluctantly (given that she had only been single for 5 days, it was expected) gave me his support.
Given that she had just broken up with her ex not 2 weeks beforehand, that her ex also happened to be a good friend of mine, and that I'm me, I feared the worse, but I had to do it. 6 days later, after a rough night of sleep pondering what I should do, and just before I left for some work, I told her, and 20 days later, I asked her out. We've been dating since.

When I get shoved enough...
Just kidding. I remember going down this extremely high water slide though. I did it though, even if it was crazy.

#138- Have you ever had to completely start your life over? Have you ever had some major setback or incident that left you either completely emotionally or financially devastated, left you without the support network you'd come to rely on, or destroyed the stability of your home?

My mother's death would be the biggest one. Moving interstate also meant I had to start over, but that wasn't caused by any tragic circumstances - rather by my own personal choice.

I luckily never felt like I've had to completely start my life over, but there have been some incredibly hard times where I felt like it was the end. To all my Wowhead friends that have managed to step over life's obstacles, way to go! And to everyone else going through hard times, always remember there's someone out there that has it worse than you do, so keep your chin up :)

Not as in somebody died/my parents went broke or something like that. But I basically started over with no friends a year ago.
