The single men you meet?

Post Reply New Topic

I was talking to friend last night and she was asking if there were any sparks between me and our friend's brother. I was like "you've got to be joking right, he treats me like I don't exist. If I'm polite and say just a hi, how's it going. He's not really up for a chat. It's like he just assumes that I'm into him."

She only asked if we liked each other because we are similar ages.

Anyway she says when she was single she met alot of men like that who think you must must wanna marry them and have 2.1 kids with them if you're a single woman who has the audacity to say helo and comment on the weather.

Anyone else find this?

Not all men are like this, just some we've met. Arrogant ones. Do they think by playing it cool theh're making themselves more attractive?

It turns me off, I think, what a looser and stop even bothering to say hello. But it hurts too.

Yeah, there are plenty of men who misread intentions. Hell, maybe most of them. I think they do get better as they get older, but they also get somewhat more cautious about approaching us. At least, that's been my experience. So for my part, I'm become correspondingly more open in the signals I try to give. I want to give the impression that I'm at least approachable, if not necessarily fair game for anyone who comes along. What I'm saying is that I consider this to be my responsibility too, not just theirs.

It's a fine line to walk and it doesn't always work the way I wish it would, but overall I do think it's better than when I was younger.
