Recently I got to thinking about the laws of attraction and I have concluded that there is no such law. For me, the attraction to the opposite sex (and the same sex) has been rather contrary. No real rhyme or reason to the way I select friends and boyfriends. Looking back at the people of consequence that have broken through my “force-field,” if you will, I’d say confidence is the key. People that appear to be completely comfortable in their own skin have more to Continue Reading

Making the Short List
I’m always fascinated by short men who approach me. They are almost always brash.
It’s as if the part of them that should regulate good manners and common sense was left at that point where they would have acquired that extra inch or two. I suspect they think they have something to prove simply because they are short and I’m tall. They feel they have to show their relative stupidity right away, rather than wait for me to discover it at some point in the future. Giving special considerations to short men will require a bit more patience on my part. I just don’t think I’m ready to go there.
Heartbreak by Design
The other day one of my girlfriends saw me with a male friend (totally innocent friendship) and said, “Don’t break my friend’s heart,” I looked around to make sure she was speaking to me. After it became clear that she was talking to me, I asked her what she meant. She said “you know how you do…” and gave me a sinister looking smile. I was completely taken aback by her statement. She may have said it in jest but it got me thinking, seriously. After we finished chatting I wondered if I did have a pattern of “breaking hearts” and I came to a very quick conclusion, no! I ended several relationships in the past because they were not fulfilling in one way or another; but I think the only heart I have successfully broken is my own. If I date a person and they can’t recognize my awesomeness or think I am too awesome (like there really is such a thing), then they force me to move on. Even though they may not want a breakup at the time, it cannot be classified as my fault or a “heart break” simply because the other party is afraid or unwilling to move forward. Though I am pure awesomeness, I am not without flaws. I’ve had several relationship missteps but that is not why we are here today (sorry). Bottom line – I’m not a heartbreaker, unless provoked.
Fear and loathing of hand holding
After dinner we went for a walk and my date reached for my hand (gasp!)
I never gave much thought to holding hands until he tried to hold my hand
I’m quite sure that I have held someone’s hand in the past but I’m challenged to find the exact occasion or the person
I may have even wanted to hold someone’s hand but with this new guy it seemed awkward or maybe too fast
I think he tried a couple of times because the next thing I knew, we were holding hands and I was still alive
I’m still not a huge fan of hand holding but I’m warming up to it
I figure, if there is a second date we might add skipping, just to make it more fun
Say What…
Only as much as is possible after a short time
Do you care to know more?
Maybe not past that point where it’s okay for you to call me at 2 AM with all your nasty thoughts
Can you see past the outside?
No, I don’t need you to say I have an attractive mind
I don’t want anything different than the average person
I just want to be seen as a complete person
Should I see you for your car, clothes or bank account?
If that is the case, I’m not as into you as I appear to be
I’m simply getting better at being polite
