Alexis,
Have you tried saying "HI" to him? I'm probably not one to give advice
here, I tend to be a fairly aggressive sort and have been told at
different times that 1) I'm scary (I have a very good sense of self
worth, and if you don't see that, Buddy, I ain't got time for you!) and
2) I'm not a typical girl (not real sure what that means. I'm not coy
by any means, maybe thats part...whatever). I met my current sweetie at
work, he was walking down the hall behind me, and I looked over my
shoulder and saw him, did a double take, and sed, "You look neat-o."
(Down right lyrical, ain't I?) He sed somethng nice to me, and then we
went our separate ways. But in the next couple of weeks, things
progressed. We've been seeing each other for over 2 years, and have
pretty much agreed we're going to get married (nothing more firm than
that yet, but that's enough for now.)
So, that's My approach (damn the torpedos). Nothing ventured and all
that. It isn't so much that I'm brave, it's just that I think if they
don't respond positively to me... it isn't rejection, so much as they
must be an idiot, you know? I decided long ago that I would rather be in
No company than in bad company. I've been pretty darn lonely at times
in my life, but I've SELDOM been unhappy because some bozo wasn't
treating me right. And I prefr it that way, I can deal with not having
a man for awhile, it's harder for me to deal with someone who is s'posed
to love me being mean to me instead. Really confuses me when that
happens. Then I get my head straight again and ditch them as fast as I
can!
Well, that's my take on things, sorry it was kind of long. good luck
with your man situation, and do what feels best for You to do!
