I asked a woman out today
I asked D. to the movies. Yes, D. from the “hand on my thigh” post. She said the coolest thing. Well, no, not the coolest thing. The coolest thing would have been “yes.”
So um, yeah. She said the other thing. The two letter word whose second letter is “o” and whose second-to-last letter is “n”.
But I really appreciate it. I’ve been in situations where I’d discovered a couple months into a relationship that the only thing that made me attractive to the other person was that I was attracted to her. I’ve been on both sides of that particular fence, of course, and I know that someone being attracted to me often overcomes all obstacles, including my lack of attraction for any reason other than that. I mean, it’s nice to be wanted, you know? So I try not to put too much judgment on it, but I’ve been hurt by people who had no business being in a relationship with me because they were only with me because they wanted to be wanted.
God, that’s just too convoluted. But I have a big resentment against women and society because being male is a trap. It’s the boy’s job to make all the moves and take all the risks. Add this to the zillions of women out there whose self-esteem is so damaged that just being attracted to them makes them want to be in a relationship, and you have a recipe for disaster.
So, OK. I asked her out, and she said no. I’m disappointed, obviously, but I have a little more faith in women for it. That’s kinda cool.
Heh. People tell me that rejection is God’s protection. Personally, I prefer condoms. Haw Haw. Everyone laugh now. Anyway, ultimately, rejection is God’s way of telling me to get my ass into the gym.
Actually, my pants being too fucking tight is God’s way of telling me to get my ass into the gym. If I can fit it through the door.
OK, it’s late. I gotta sleep. laterz, y’all.
sorry things didn’t work
sorry things didn’t work out, yo. but i’m glad you’re feeling ok about it.
Getting a straight “no“
Getting a straight “no” answer is such a rare treat for a guy. We’re much more used to getting an answer that seems designed to either keep the attention level at “possible romantic partner” or to protect the answerer from having to witness our (not as great as they probably think) disappointment, or both.
The fact that he’s feeling okay about it is indeed due in large part to her directness and honesty.
erm, i just meant that i’m
erm, i just meant that i’m sorry she didn’t want to go out with him. i didn’t mean that i’m sorry she didn’t say yes no matter what.
Sure. I’m just a bit touchy
Sure. I’m just a bit touchy about the subject (or had you noticed:-).
It’s a bummer when someone we want to get closer to does not want to get closer to us, but it’s not life-threatening.
If it were, the entire male
If it were, the entire male population would probably have been wiped out long long ago.
