Skydiving is easy. Pursuing a girl?
Now that's terrifying. Before Cliff got me, he got rejected…a LOT. 😂
👉 Called a girl 20 times in 5 minutes.
👉 Lost another because her parents thought he'd "die too soon" after his transplant.
👉 Watched his best friend marry the girl he liked.
👉 And (OMG 🤯) I just found out, in this interview, that he once SPRINTED out of a symphony recital mid-show… ran down the street… bought roses… and surprised a girl at dinner to "define the relationship." (Why am I only hearing this after 13 years of marriage?! 🌹🤣)
Cringe? Yes.
Hopeless? No.
Because each "no" shaped him into the man who would one day pursue me with courage and integrity.
This convo is hilarious, awkward, and surprisingly profound. Not just for single guys — but for anyone who's ever risked rejection, wrestled with self-worth, or wondered if love is worth the wait.
Because the truth is…
🌹 Awkward doesn't disqualify you.
🌹 Regret is heavier than rejection.
🌹 And the best pursuit is never manipulative — it's brave, surrendered, and real.
