I used to tell people straight away. A potential boyfriend to me was like a mission or a battle, I always had ammunition and counter attacks at the ready. I was one of those 'If I want it, I'm going for it... do I look like I have time to play games?' kind of people.
But now I'm learning what it means to be pursued, to be the one fought for rather than the one fighting for all the wrong reasons, to basically stand around and look pretty, and where appropriate, open up and reveal my 'character' or 'inward personality... stuff... what ever'. MY GOODNESS. This is really hard work. This is a totally different realm that I don't understand and I feel potentially clueless about.
Why do some men have to linger with their 'um' and 'aahhh-ing' contemplating what to do? Being rejected for a relationship never killed anyone. If people were a bit more honest about how they felt and girded themselves, plucked up some courage and applied actions to their feelings then things would actually get done.
(I'm totally not word vomiting because I was stood up for a date tonight. Totally....)

I have had plenty of female friends that I liked more than friends or was attracted too. However, that is still not enough for me to pursue them. I have a couple of good friends that have great qualities, but they aren't believers. There is still a set of "requirements" that are needed before I am going to try to pursue a female friend. If she doesn't meet them, why tell her?

Darn... Nadia got stood up too. What is it with people?? Sorry Arlene.
Sometimes doors open, sometimes they close. What matters is how I respond to disappointment...(I'm so going to pour petrol on his lawn and kill all his plants.......) Jokes, jokes!

Hahaha, it's all good. Thank you for your kind remarks, guys. Sometimes doors open, sometimes they close. What matters is how I respond to disappointment...

I have heard worse mess ups. And I understood what you said. To be honest, I didn't even see you did it wrong until you fixed it.
Right now in my life I seem to be at the opposite point. I have been talking with two girls online. A few days ago, one said she loved me. Today the other one said she likes me. And yet I have been feeling led to love a girl for the past 2 years.
3 different girls, 2 care about me and 1 I wish did. And I am so confused by what to do.
Goodnight.... my life is one big confusion after another.
