Ended up having a lot of fun at training

I am currently waiting for my flight back home from management training. For the past 2 weeks I have been studying and working hard to become a certified manager. I passed the final test yesterday so that's good news! It was a 2 week course and it's finally over. My group was all male, until this past Monday.

Apparently the girl that joined us went through 1 week a month or so ago and had to leave, so she joined our group to finish it out. She is very cute and I knew I would want to spend time with her from the first couple hours that day. After talking a bunch at work and then chatting a bit after work, I admitted I thought she was cute and would like to hang out afterwards. She revealed that she felt the same toward me and would like to hang out as well. We really got to know each other and we actually had a lot in common and a really great time! Going from having a boring week to that was pretty incredible and a HUGE confidence boost!

Unfortunately, it only lasted the week and she's already on her way back home and I'm just sitting in my hotel lobby feeling somewhat lonely but definitely excited to have had that experience. As one who struggles a lot with anxiety and being an introvert, this was one of the few times that trying something outside of my comfort zone really payed off.

Anyone else have good experiences recently as well?
