gdi James every time i have ever had sex with a new person ive felt like i have achieved another miracle in a small series of miracles
You sound exactly like the guy who knocked me up 12 months ago. Is this a common thing or are you him?
i can assure you that is definitely not me. i made sure to forever protect myself from the possibility of knocking people up many years ago. i assume on some level deep down we all want someone around only when we want them around, but i'm very much in that way of thinking 99.5% of the time.
I'm trying to think back to the days when I was trying to date and I honestly don't know if I felt that way or not. I've never honestly been in a relationship so the thought never occured to me that a hypothetical boyfriend might be around even when I didn't want them to be.
On the other hand, now you’re in a wonderful relationship with the love of your life! I believe you are the winner here!
Haha no, it’s true. One of my exes would be like, “you know those girls were flirting with you right????” And I’d be like
I was never good at picking up signals either. Every relationship I've ever been in has pretty much been initiated by the girl because I was too dumb/naive to realize what was going on. Even with my now wife...it literally takes extreme obvious scenarios for me to realize a girl is/was into me. I think it's just a natural protection (or fear of putting yourself out there) that some people instill in themselves...like, if you don't have any expectations/hopes, then you can't get hurt type of thing so you remain oblivious until it's really, really obvious.
This friend I had she swore the workers at freebirds were really into her and I was like no they act like that to everybody I’m pretty sure they’re told to....but okay .
I feel like I think that with every service worker who’s friendly, but also I’ve been totally oblivious to every girl that’s ever liked me irl.
I also miss / ignore signs and flirting behavior. There are rare times where I’m like “hey, she’s into me” but then I immediately think I’m wrong and that that can’t be right and how hilariously dumb will I look when I make a move and am wrong so then I don’t do anything and let them make a move (RARE) and even then I’m like, “yeah I’m gonna need a notarized letter just to be sure.”
It's part of my job to form connection and ask ppl questions about their lives and sometimes men get it all twisted and I'm like
Started talking to a girl on Tinder on Sunday. Ended up going to her place the following evening. We talked, kissed and cuddled a bit. Spent just over two hours there. She even invited me to her cross-fit class and her dancing class. The next day I asked if she'd like to meet again sometime... she texts back: "No thanks, I want a more dominant man". That's what little self-esteem I had left crushed again for the foreseeable future...
