I did some Christmas shopping today. I'm a free man, which means I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant, if you know what I mean.
There was a girl at Urban Outfitters. While my friend was looking at scarves for his GF, I was flirting with the Floor person.
It occurred to me that it was this girl's body language that made everything smooth. There was nothing physically remarkable about her. She was short, overweight, and some acne. But she was approachable and friendly but, not ingratiating or smarmy.
She didn't display the hallmark insecurities that most girls have. The tight shoulders, the confrontational eyes, the defensive posture, and the ever observant look that implies they are waiting for me to commit a crime. I call this look turtling.
This young lady, mirrored my body language, stood next to me, reciprocated my humor, complimented me, made constructive suggestions and even felt comfortable enough to poke fun at me. All within the span of about 2 minutes. This made the next 30 minutes some of the best in person interaction I've had in weeks.
Also here's a link to a description of what I'm usually talking about...

Thank you for this thread Oncefallen. I'm glad to know I can be relieved of the task of asking a guy out. 
Now Imma go put my big girl skirt on and wait for this big boy pants-wearing guy.
On a different note, the Similar Threads section at the bottom made me chuckle.''Baggy Pants Legal'' <--not the kinda pants we're talking about here, I hope

Thank you for this thread, Oncefallen.
Everyone in this forum has a bad day from time to time. Pretty much everyone in this forum has been hurt by someone somehow at some time. We all get that. But when it gets to the point where a person is not just expressing pain or sharing an opinion, but being aggressively rude, abusive and mocking toward people who are merely posting their own thoughts/feelings/etc., there comes a time to stand up and say that enough is enough. The people of this forum are NOT their personal punching bags and some of us are sick of seeing loving, well-meaning people be attacked solely for someone's entertainment.
We can sit around and gripe about it or we can DO something about it. We need to stop tolerating it and stop feeding the monster.
Pray for them? Yes! Absolutely! Suffer abuse or watch others be abused and say nothing for who knows how long? That's ridiculous. Some people clearly cannot be reasoned with. They want bootlickers, not reason.
Thanks again!

I want to get a claymore to honor the Scottish part of my heritiage some day. I like swords. They serve as reminders of the sword of the spirit that we all have as believers in Christ. I'm not going to lie, I might also hold it up and say "there can be only one", at least a few dozen times.
Reminding me that God trusted me with a sword helps me man up. Listening to Christ-centered celtic punk also helps me man up. It is time for men of God in the body of Christ to man up. No more on the fence!

Like a tree without its branches, like a fire without a light,
You’re a battle weary soldier who is running from the fight,
Like a ship without an anchor, you’re a boat without a crew,
You hide the light inside you as you’re whoring out the truth,
On the outside you’re pretty, on the inside you’re drenched,
In the blood of the anointed in the wound of the oppressed,
Fill your cup full of sorrows as you soil the master’s clothes,
You were faithful at the wedding feast, but now wasted in the road,
Like a city on a hill with a blackout in effect
You defy your maker, is there one you respect?
Like a city on a hill you are tattered and torn,
You defy your Maker in your return to the scorn,
Put life to your footsteps, put spine to your feet,
Will you make your decision are you chaff or are you wheat?
Will you rise or will you fall, will you stand or will you crawl?
Will you be the ones He's called you to be or turn away and run,
I say No
