Something better left unsaid.

After a few reactions and my own reflections, I've edited out this entire post, and deleted the comments. Anyone who's read it has read it, and now my silly, emotion fuelled musing has been filed away elsewhere. Maybe under 'G ( Read more... )

In my very personal experience, sometimes the girl is attracted to the 'rock', she just isn't aware (read: clueless) that he's interested in her at all.

It really isn't about nice guys verses non-nice guys, though I know it can seem like it.

If you feel like reading, I enjoyed the Mystery Method book. I forget the exact title, if that's not it. The fellow had a silly reality TV-program a while back, and I thought his book was pretty good. The exact details aren't going to be relevant to everyone, but the big ideas are there.

Every 25 yr old girl I know who isn't already settled down with a nice guy, wants to find a nice guy and settle down. Seriously.

I guess I kind of got off on an old tangent of mine. I know it really isn't about nice or non-nice, but yes, it has always seemed that way to me. The whole high school dating scene was a little poor to me, as most of the women who may have been interested in me when I showed my affection were taken, and the ones who were single only dated assholes. So yeah, even at 19, I'm still a little bitter about it.

The "settle down at thirty" comment stems from the line "Nice guys finish last" and kind of became a joke between myself and a good friend of mine. That friend got lucky and hooked up with another friend, whom I introduced to him. They're now happily dating and have been for about 10 months now. :)

I'll try to keep the book in mind. Thanks for reading. :)

Be careful, Sean, that with publicly stated posts like this, you do not distance the female friends you have done so much to help, because you may have sent out the vibe that "secretly I'm sexually attracted to you".

Were I one of said female friends, I'd be leary now of leaning on you, because I'd wonder if you had alterior motives beneath your wholly legit face of helpfulness.

Yes, this is your LJ, and you can post whatever you want, and that's a good thing, but just realize that the very people "frustrating you" are likely readong this, and just might feel slighted.

PS: 10 months you say.... (counts on his hands)... do I know these friends of yours?
