Keep Trying--You Could Be Seconds Away From Success

Post Reply New Topic

I also forget that I've never been an ordinary female. I'm not NT and don't have a clique to belong to or have a hen party with to peck apart some poor guy. So I retract my advice. It doesn't apply to NT women, apparrently.

Exactly. Now, thanks to feminism, women are one of these "priority groups" but only in certain ways. "Original" feminism was about removing barriers that kept women from doing whatever men were allowed to do, including being openly sexual. Now, so much of it is about protecting women FROM things, especially sexual things.

And as far as the OP goes, it's a shame you weren't more aggressive yourself in showing interest. And, if you still had anywhere near the cuteness and sense of wonder about you in your 20s that you had when your avatar picture was taken, I could very easily have been that guy.

That's not me. It's my 4 year old son when he was 2. Hence the "cuteness and sense of wonder". I was trying to behave myself with the poor guy. All being aggressive had got me was being used and dumped so I was trying to change my behaviour to improve the outcome.

It occurred to me that your jerk-away reaction would be interpreted and an emphatic NO!

...any man would be crazy to try again after that!
