Sometimes finding the first words to say when you see someone you might connect with is difficult. Perhaps a friend has to remind you to smile, uncross your arms, or even loosen your neck-tie a little or nudge you to utter the word “hello”; these things come naturally to some, but for others, these tips come best from your “wingman” or best friend who is there by your side. This is an opportunity to ditch your “wingman” and Take Courage…

Here at GROW, we like to encourage our readers, friends, and clients to “Take Courage” and try something new every Friday. Well, this opportunity is just too good for you to pass up. We are giving away a Starbucks Gift Card to a participant, chosen at random, for anyone who buys the “Total Flirt” App for $.99 from the iTunes App Store and uses it over the weekend. All we ask is that you write us a response about your experience using the App and the success of the tips that the App gives you.  We are not asking for you to leave a bar, restaurant, or gallery with anyone, but we just want you to be bold, take the tips from the App and report back to us about how “successful” you were in getting out of your comfort zone. We want you to meet people, mingle with some fine citizens of Atlanta, and Take Courage.

Please e-mail your responses to Adam Glendye, MA MFT at aglendye@growcounseling.com to enter the contest by Monday May 23, 2011.  We will post a few of the responses on our blog over the coming weeks (don’t worry – you can be anonymous), so you can see that you are not alone out there. Even if you try this App out after the contest is over, we would still love to hear your responses to your Take Courage adventure.
