No one I went to high school with wanted to date me and even in college (young, confident) no one had any interest in me. Granted, I was with Wayne, but we were not married or engaged and I never had any offers to turn down.
Sillykins.. you cant go by that! The age of men courting the women who took their fancy, is long since past. Nowadays, the fellas want the girl to come after them, all the better for their egos. Many friends and women have complimented me in the past... but have I ever *ever* had a guy say it? The ones I dated, instead tried to openly insult me (!?), with no provocations or hints to prompt it, by picking at whatever fault they could come up with, and finishing the statement with "well, you're not that bad" or "your cute, but dont go thinking every guy will think that" *snort* What a turd, and obviously dealing with feelings of insignifigance!
Everybody (except turds!) *everybody* has attractive qualities! The trick is in learning how to see them when you look in the mirror, instead of staring at what you perceive to be your faults... and learning to accentuate them properly! Hunny, when you feel up to it, you should have a GF come over and have a sleepover, watch some old movies, play with your hair and try some new make-up! I love playing with make-up... but you're too far away from me
.
I *love* novels from other time periods, and when I was young I always expected dating to at least be the way it was for my mom (discounting her jerks)... having the doors opened, the bill footed, walked to your door & the polite kiss on the cheek at the end of the night.... Not so! Hmmpf!
I've known some really gorgeous girls too, and trust me, the guys do not go after them either. And can you believe it?! The most insulting thing that ever happened to me (at 19 then)... I was working at the same place for a long time, always tried to be nice & friendly with my co-workers... several of them fellas and we'd stand about shooting the breeze (what on earth does that mean, anyway
) and this one.. Oooold (like 55) Baaald (except for oily..uhh.. wispy parts that came out randomly) Faaaat guy.. followed me out to my car and asked me out! *Sniff*.. How dare he, turd? And THAT has to be the only time I've ever been asked out the way I expected to be... Errrr... Editied because I felt it necessary to note that I turned him down, although I was so shocked, I was too nice about it, and later came up with many brilliant examples of what I could have said *sigh*.
Ok.. done sounding like a hoity toity princess now... but please understand, offers do not represent your desirability!
LOVE IT!!!! Laura you never cease to amaze.
