Musings

Another dating discovery. I'm very bad at sending out signals. I'm great online, but once I'm there in person with someone, I'm not so great at sending the signals that say "I'm attracted to you." The signals that say "I'm interested in you" I think I'm ok at. But I'm working on the other. You have to do the touching thing, touch him on the arm, leg, etc. when talking or getting up to go to the ladies room, or whatever. That's a big one. I'm bad with the eye contact, too, when you're getting to the point where it's supposed to be romantic and you're supposed to be gazing into each other's eyes...I get really nervous and when I'm nervous, it's hard to make eye contact. Once again, let me remind you, I have dated quite a bit now and for 14 years I've had boyfriends but I still get nervous at this point. Guys, take note. Women aren't always as confident as you think we are, nor are we as much in control of the situation as you fear we are. We're often floundering a little too. Just FYI.

I'm doing the 24 hour Blogathon for charity, benefiting The Global Fund for Women. Please click on the "Stay up late. Make a Difference!" button to pledge to my wonderful charity or go to http://www.blogathon.org. Click on "How to Sponsor" and go from there. You can also click on the "webring" to the left, down below the blogathon button, to surf through other sites doing the blogathon. And click on "August" in the archives to the left to see all my postings from this very long day. Thanks all!
