morethanjustamom Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I think guys tend to be more afraid of women than we are of guys. There's no reason not to be direct about what you want, as he might be stressing not necessarily about what he wants, but about whether YOU are happy. Unless you're proposing on the first date, you'll probably bring a huge sigh of relief to the guy. He's sitting there trying to read your mind, something that men are notoriously awful at!

Thrillho Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Speaking as a guy: Yeah, generally we're terrified, and just want to be TOLD THE TRUTH, not be expected to infer based on limited and contradictory data sets.

ZenGwen Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 On the guys, girls, directness and relationships thing... Directness is always appreciated. I admit this is my normal approach:I've started a couple of very lovely relationships that way! Quote Pain is the feeling of weakness leaving the body. Blog | Pinterest | Fitocracy Link to comment

GreenEyesBright Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Last night was spent playing a nerdy drinking game. Tequila shots for every K.O. in Street Fighter 2. This morning... woke up to some guys installing the new air conditioner staring at me as I polished off a margarita while waiting on the coffee to finished. Them: Its 8 am on a Sunday and you're drinking?Me: I'm Irish. This is just breakfast. Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk Quote Wake Your Dreams... Link to comment
ZenGwen Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 haha, this made me laugh. so. hard. you clearly need another computer!I have my beautiful gaming rig which I built myself, Akago (from the Japanese for "Baby", although I changed it slightly because all my computer names end in -go. Geek? Yes.) But his is newer, and we didn't have the space for two desktops when we moved in together, so.... now she's sitting in a rack waiting to become a media server. Sigh. I am heartbroken.
