Put yourself out there I tried to find the meaning of "put yourself/myself out there" in the web. But it has a load of different meanings provided my some guys. I want to know whether they are correct or not and what the other meanings of this phrase are. Followings are what I found in the internet and I put them here without any editing. Please help me with this phrase, I heard it first by a girl talking about her dates. 1. Putting yourself out there... meaning dont limit yourself... get to know people and try to date new people be like - "hey yo whats up im single babay why dont u and i go out sometime" 2. to make an effort to do something to help somebody, even if it is inconvenient : "Brian's always willing to put himself out for other people." 3. "Don't put yourself out." = "You don't worry." As an example, if I came over to your house, you might want to offer me some sort of refreshment. If you offer me something to eat, I might say, "No, don't put yourself out, I just ate." If you offer to make a pot of coffee, I might say, "Thank you, but I am not staying very long, so don't put yourself out." 4. "Don't put yourself out" is also often used as a sarcastic / ironic comment: Eg. Imagine you've spent all day doing a job for someone and suddenly they appear to ask if you'd like a cup of tea, as if they were doing you a big favour just by asking. "Yeah, thanks, but don't put yourself out".
