I dated a guy once that openly told me he was a coward. And it was true. He was afraid of a lot of things. Dating, for one thing (that was a hurdle to get over). And women. And confrontation. And life, probably. At the time I thought that was unusual for a man. Now, I'm beginning to think it's more typical.
I was at a party, walking past this guy (who is cute, in case you were wondering) and he said, "Hi Kelly." I was a little taken back since we had never spoken before, and I wasn't sure how he knew my name. So I said, "Hi. How'd you know my name? If you know my name, why don't you ever talk to me?" He jokingly hid behind his friend, and told me it's because he was afraid of women. Typical. I just said okay and walked away.
This is my new tactic, to help me be less frightening to men. Short conversations, where I just walk away. it's working pretty well with this guy, since he came to find me to talk to me again...I'll keep you posted.
Good work. Much less frightening and even a taste of "hard to get."
ReplyDeleteGuys need to take baby steps when it comes to relationships (they're retarded that way). Way to make it easier for them.
ReplyDeleteKelly, I read your first post a long time ago and LOVED it! (in my best sing song voice) Tonight, I needed some laughter and love and general Kitchen merriment and came to you for all 3 things. I'm happy to have caught up on the rest of your posts, and cannot wait to hear more about your adventures.
ReplyDeleteLove, Julee
