Last Thursday night I had my date with Mr. Valentine. Who has turned out to be infamous Good-On-Paper Guy from the old epitome of singleness, Sex and the City.
He's a High School English Teacher, coach's girls hockey, owns a house, a car, plays hockey, likes to read. So many things that I think I'm looking for, but there's none of that excited I can't wait to see him pit of your stomach butterflies feeling.
Attraction.
Why is it so hard. Why can't we be attracted to who we want to be.
I don't know if I'll go out with Mr. Valentine again. I don't know if its fair to maybe lead him on, as I'm not attracted, or if attraction will grow in time.
The only problem with the date was the end. He walked me to my car and told me to call him if I wanted. When did it become the girls job to chase the boy? I don't mind meeting the guys half way, or making effort. But I won't be the only one. I had to call Mr. Valentine the in the first place.
You do too mind making half the effort! You belive that boys should chase girls all the way... admit it you old fashioned woman you!!
ReplyDeleteAttraction can grow in time. Think of how much better looking one becomes the more you get to know them. Or how somehow you originally thought was good looking becomes an ugly beast after they open their mouth and have nothing relevant or intelligent to say... Try talking to him on the phone or msn a couple times before you go out again. See if he doesn't say something that turns you on.
see that makes perfect sense. And yet...I don't know. There's two other guys I like more..Mr. Torn Groin,and Mr. Soccer...but I don't know if they like me, so is it settling to go out with the guy I know likes me? Always complicated. I'll see him at work tomorrow...hmmmm
ReplyDeleteyour not settling - your dating. Go out with all of them.
