I had mentioned previously that I did not feel comfortable ruffling the feathers of the universe and in turn still felt a bit blue yet guilty for even feeling that way. Well, for not going against the cards at hand I was rewarded. This had to be the most adventurous and exciting weekend I have had in a long time. I must say thank you to all those who actively participated and interacted with me, it truly made a difference. I know I sound like some spiritual guru who is thankful for the positive social shakra or whatever you want to call it. But I'm just genuinely grateful, is that so bad. Any who, Ive learned that whenever opportunities now present themselves that I must not think twice and just seize them. And if they don't work out, its fine, there will another waiting around the corner.
In other news I feel the need to bring into retrospect relationships, dating and all that jazz, I have somethings I feel the need to get off my chest and I would like some feedback on this, maybe I'm wrong and feel free to contradict or agree but .....
1. Why do guys think that just because they take you home that they deserve something at the end of the night?
Don't get me wrong, I'm very grateful for the courtesy drive home. (Although it a pretty long drive) however we had just met and there was no sweeping off the feet what-so-ever... Really?
2. I love when people say that they want to be your "friend" and yet they don't have the gall (for lack of a more derogatory word) to do so. I think being cordial doesn't really hurt much, now does it? To truthfully walk tall and proud (in a metaphorical sense) saying hello to everyone in a room shouldn't even be a second thought. But when one cant do that, it just shows weakness.

P.S. : For those who would like to know, here's a snippet of the "new" things I ventured into this weekend... 1 red headed slut (the drink oh and it was free, wahoo), golfing on the Granada Golf Course, and Food Trucks.
I would recommend trying all things listed above at least once, and don't judge a book by its cover. Golf DOES take skill, and just because it comes from a truck doesn't mean it cant be gourmet.
My Thoughts on Your Thoughts:
ReplyDelete-Emerson quote is on point.
-Your comment on being cordial, couldn't agree more. However, personally, I find some cultures embraces greeting everyone in the room more than others i.e. hispanic culture (very embraced) vs. american culture (not so embraced).
-Truck food? really??? lol i guess it's worth a shot.
-In my eyes, Golf requires tremendous skill and technique :) i have a great appreciation for the sport. (random/slightly relevant fact: Golf was created in Scotland and originally stood for Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden) lol
-As for the comment about guys always expecting something in return, cmon, were you really surprised? Most (and I mean MOSTTTTTT lol like almost ALL) guys are only after that cookie especially if he just met you. Women fall in love with their ears, men fall in love with their eyes. Just met him? he's using his eyes, thats it.
post script: you're quite the dancer :)
