MOVIES N' MORE
Not having cable here at the house has brought about the need for another form of entertainment. The internet does, in fact, get old (said the junkie).
I just finished watching V For Vendetta for a second time. I can't recommend this movie enough. For those who loved the first The Matrix, you'll love this more (and it's made by the same writer/directors). It nearly made me cry.
---------------
I have been spending some much needed (and debateably deserved) relaxation time. Besides going to the gym, I've hardly left the house for two days. I've been drinking beer and playing video games. It's WONDERFUL. I'll get tired of it pretty quickly though, and it will be back to work that requires brain power.
---------------
A while ago I adopted a policy of not making the first move unless I really felt the girl wanted me to. All my life I've strived to never make a girl feel pressured to do anything she didn't want to. I like to think I've succeeded.
This does, however, cause some problems.
I think that women expect men to pine after them. They expect that a man will ask her out on a date, move in for a kiss, try to take things further. Unfortunately, I don't like to do those things unless I feel like I've been invited to do so, and I take great effort in making sure I don't misinterpret a signal.
Why am I telling you this? I don't know. I think the way I act around women makes them think I'm not interested. That's not the case. I am, I just don't want to be that guy. The creepy one who they don't feel comfortable around. I want to be the one who was a gentleman from the start.
I'm starting to wonder if I should rethink my "strategy" (for lack of a better term). I think it's making me miss oportunities...

Oh my, dear. I think the problem is that you have a "strategy" to start with. You can't 'plan' how to act around someone else (I know that's not what you're *saying*, but don't you think it's true?)
Roll with it. Throw yourself out there, or don't throw yourself out there at all. But if it feels right, go with it - to hell with the other stuff.
I know my advice isn't always the best, so thanks for allowing me to throw my 'two cents' in!
Much love honey!
"The internet does, in fact, get old (said the junkie)."
Yes, alas, I have discovered this once or twice myself. LMAO!
Hmm...I do agree with Bree. I think it's difficult to go into a a dating situation feeling like you 'should' or 'shouldn't' do something.... Go with the mood, the situation, the vibes you are getting.
I can be fairly outgoing and make the first move (snort...surprised I'm sure you are not), I have on numerous occasions. BUT there are certainly times where someone else has (made the first move) that I was glad they did, bc had they not....it would have been a missed opportunity.
IDK...I am no dating expert, lol. But obviously Bree and I enjoy giving our two cents. ;)
GL my love!
