K SO RESPONSE TO ABOVE ADVICE/MY RAMBLINGS:

I think I just really need to adjust my way of thinking about things. As of right now I kind of assume that NO GUY actually wants a girlfriend and all the are really after is sex. Not just with me, just in general, almost like girlfriends are lame or something.

LOL

Maybe that’s not entirely accurate? I just thought like, cool dudes wanted to be free and if they wanted a girlfriend they would have one. Surely some of them can be single and open to the idea of dating, oui??

Anyway, I had THE SINGLE most perfectest opportunity to do this confident bald guy number exchange thing, but I didn’t.
He was alone and I was alone and he was on his way out and I was standing there hoping he would talk to me and he did, but all he said was have a nice day.
I WAS SOSOSOSOOSOSO mad at myself!

But it’s okay, it’s really okay. BEcAUSE there is time.
I thought if maybe we could be come buddies then it would be smoother. Like at my old gym me and this guy were like total buds and we talked all the time and there was no awkwardness ever, and we basically had each other’s routines memorized and knew when it was rest/talk time and when it was shutthefuckup time.
So when bald guy said his good mornin’ I totally planned to say hey buddy cause that would mean we were buddies, but I just said hello instead.

But good things can still happen, I just have to slowly step outside of my bubble. I am not saying I am NEVER going to be brave, I am saying I just need some time to stick my feet in the water before I jump right in.
And that I need a life jacket…
Because I can’t swim…

Would it be okay if I like invited him to my birthday thingie? Like if I said
"Oh, hey, so it’s my birthday thingie on Friday and if you wanted to pop by for an hour or something with some friends i’ll be at
Or is that awkward?

n e way…
We shall see.

I went out with my friend on Saturday, which is a big deal cause I figured I was perma-herma-tized, but it was actually pretty fun.
Some guy came up to me and asked if I was a bodybuilder :open_mouth:
And the DJ played RHCP for me.
And the bouncer gave me ask out boy advice, HAHA.
And I talked to some strangers about the black piranha of the amazon because I find it very fascinating.
HAHAhaha

Maybe I could talk to bald guy about the black piranha of the amazon.
I wish I could be as cool as my semi-intoxicated self, heh.
OH AND MY ZELDA WALLET IS A TOTAL DUDE MAGNET, H-HA_A

K BYE

You and every other woman on the planet Jenn. Only difference is that you’re one of the few that verbalises it openly. So what you might ‘lack’ is that particular filter or inhibition - but that is not necessarily a bad thing. What’s really lacking is a guy with the strength, maturity and humour to not just put up with but actually EMBRACE that craziness, and simply love you in return.

My wife is one of those women that could be said to ‘have it all’ - great career, large friendship circle, does community work, wonderful marriage (well we like to think so) etc. But honestly her private thoughts and feelings are not all that different to yours - though she has her own particular “brand” of crazy :wink:

And in honest conversations with her friends and the partners of my (male) friends, they all admit to the same. It’s just part and parcel of what goes into the wonderful, exasperating creature that is woman.

You’re a fit, strong, honest woman, who enjoys training, enjoys sex, looks after your son well and from what I can tell has a heart of gold. Believe me when I say this - any guy will be lucky to have you. Having been lonely myself for a long period of time I know how hard this is, and my heart and deepest love goes out to you. You are a special one Spock.

Don’t say “well y’know like if you wanted to maybe sorta come down blah blah” say “I’ll be here, I think you should come down, it’ll be fun.” At least that’s what I’ve been told by friends who are more successful with the opposite sex.

You have to be careful, sometimes bouncers just like to fuck with people. Standing around all night gets pretty boring. I had a fake name I only gave to patrons and told people my protein shake was imported Cambodian breast milk. Better hormone profile than the stuff you get domestically.

I got like no sleep last night cause I thought up a billion really REALLY stupid things to say to BG next time I see him…
Like
“Oh ya so when I was a kid there was a commercial for this board game called 13 dead-end drive and they pushed this guy off a ladder and said “see ya ladder” so maybe when we say bye to each other we can say “see ya ladder” and it can be like our thing.”
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?

Then I started having a panic attack that I was accidently standing in his comfort zone bubble and I should apologize for maybe making him feel somewhat sexually harassed, HAHAHHA.
YES.
BECAUSE HE CAN HEAR MY THOUGHTS.
LIke SorrrrrYYYY I get hard nipples sometimes and I really don’t think it’s because it’s cold and it must be so uncomfortable for him and maybe he’ll complain and I am never wearing that shirt ever again fksd;lagkdl;gkldfjgklf

I am never passing up an opportunity like yesterday’s ever again.

A tale…A revelation:

Ever since I was a young girl I have been terrified of escalators. I didn’t wanna go up em, and I sure as hell didn’t wanna go down em. Most of my youth was spent shopping on the lower levels of malls because I was too lazy to look for the elevator, and on numerous occasions I would get lost trying to find some way out of the way stair well that was intended for emergency’s only.
Because yes, it seems much safer to go alone into a stairwell in some dimly lit parkade than to simply use an escalator.
LOGIC.
I AIN’T GOT NONE>

Anyway, A few weeks ago I was going to be late for a doctors appt. coming off of work and didn’t really have the time to wait for the elevator, so I told my dad if he stood right in front of me we could try to go down it. I figured if he was right in front of me and I fell he would be the one dying and I would be fine, LOL.
My legs were shaky and I was a nervous wreck, but I took that first step and made it down safely.
We then started doing this every day after work to save time.

Then the opportunity arose for me to do it on my own. I was fucking hungry and wanted to get to the food court as fast as I could so I told myself " I am using the fucking escalator NO MATTER WHAT".
As I stepped up to it the little voice in my head told me not to do this, that this was too scary, and I’d be much safer just using the elevator.
My heart was pounding like crazy, but I ignored that little voice in my head and used the escalator anyway.
As of today <AUG. 21st, 2013> I have not yet died from the escalator, and every day it seems less and less daunting.

Perhaps I can compare my fear of bald guy rejection to my fear of the escalator. I gotta ignore that little voice in my head and just take that first step.
Who knows, maybe I’ll get hurt, but maybe I’ll arrive safely to the bottom.
If it doesn’t go according to plan maybe it will be easier the next time around and maybe eventually the fear will not even be there at all.

ALL THE GOOD STORES ARE ON THE UPPER LEVEL.
I HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT.
