I was watching the Bachelor tonight. Guilty pleasure, but I love that show. One of the dates featured Ben, the current bachelor taking a girl on a date which involved climbing the railing of the Golden Gate bridge. Hmm.
The girl he had on the date, was insanely fearful of heights. Yet she went for it.
It got me thinking, would I do the same thing? Or faced with my fear would shut down like her.
I am not a thrill seeker. I don't have a desire to rock climb, sky dive or really even do something like skiing. Its not fun to me. I have fears just like the woman in the episode, and I think they are things that I need to face, but put in the context of a relationship, I am not sure if I would do that for someone.
Last spring, a friend of mine tried to get me to ride the mechanical bull. I was slightly fearful but more really didn't seem like fun.
How do you get your excitement?
