Figuring Out How To Shoot Your Shot

how to shoot your shot

According to Urban Dictionary, to shoot your shot is "to let go of your pride and pursue someone you are interested in"; "to take a chance no matter if you fail or not." For some women, shooting their shot at a guy they are interested in can be hard because of the fear of being rejected or of being seen as "thirsty." In this episode of Figure Out Your Life with Toya T, I discuss why women should shoot their shots, and share what I have figured out from my own experiences approaching potential baes, including tips on how to shoot your shot the right way.
