If you want to keep her around, keep that going. If you don't...go back to wuss-boy, and she'll be gone. I always tell girls to go on dates with other guys, and call them the wrong name, etc. just to keep them wondering. It's perfectly clear that I'm joking at the time, but still... the mystery drives them wild. Start buying flowers, talking like a baby, and saying things like "What do YOU want to do tonight?" too early on... you might as well forget it because they're gonna lose interest, fast. I know it's a crock of crap, but that's the way it is. Or you could never do this one. Seriously, wny do adults need to talk to each other like babies? I don't even like it when people talk to babies like babies. But then again I have a heart of stone and will likely die alone. STWISWAGOS. No you won't! I hate the baby talk thing, too, even when it's to babies. I really wonder what babies think about the people around them. I'm not sure, but it can't be good. Seriously, I might just make the worst parent by today's standards. No baby talk, no Einstein videos, no what-have-yous. I'm thinking clothes, food, and lots of attention. Oh and teething rings, babies seem to really like those things. |

New marketing tactic, perhaps. If this applied to marathons, I'd be putting Dean-o to shame by now. |

I know, really radical stuff. I mean, what would the world be like if everyone were just up front about how they feel what they want. I don't even want to think about it. Ooh, tried that one. That got me a big "I want more space" followed three weeks and a lot of space by what you've read today. I wasn't playing games. I feel like you have your answer right there. |

Sorry if that's TMI for anyone, but if it is, deal with it...these things happen. What did'ya eat? Do you think it could be food poisoning? Sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. I ate pizza. If it's food poisoning it's pretty mild as I'm not puking, but it still sucks one way or the other. Trying to check with my friend to see if she's experiencing the same thing. I'm sure there's sketchy pizza out there, but on the whole it seems to be a fairly innocuous food. You're friend wasn't K was it - if it was you might want to run a tox screen (j/k). Haha, it was...read my training log. She's crazy. I think BellBivDeVoe said it best: "That girl is poison". I'm just kidding, I've never met her, she could be a wonderful person. But if push comes to shove, I'm drinking from my own flask. eta punctuation. It was funny, we finished dinner at like 9:30 last night and she starts talking about trying to figure out her plan for the night. I'd figured this would be a simple matter. I'll take my bike off the back of your car and you go home, since that was basically our agreement two or three weeks ago. But she says, "Well, I'm thinking of showering right now. When are you getting up in the morning? Because I have early class." In response to which I said "uhhhh" Then she decided to go home. I think my theory may have been confirmed, I was possibly #2 on the "Guys K wants to date list" and #1 either didn't come back to school, or realized she's just not 100% stable. Umm, wow. My life isn't nearly this interesting. Be careful though, you might want to take your bike off the car before you shoot her down like that. Just saying. I'd hate for her to do something cruel to your roadie. She also said "I hope you're not busy this weekend, because I have a lot of plans for you." I just don't get it. She was the one who wanted distance three weeks ago. For F's sake this stuff is confusing at times. Doesn't help that I may have met someone else as well. ETA: My life wasn't nearly this interesting before I met her in March, either...back then I basically just worked and trained. Although my training volume has doubled that time period lately. They ALWAYS want what they can't have. Duh. Yeah, I know that, it's just funny that it went from didn't want back to seemingly can't function without in 3 weeks of me going back to my old GFY/A-hole attitude. I don't know that I can/want to just turn that back off. I don't know that she wants you to. Some women (not all, or most, so don't rip my head off ladies) like to be treated prroly. I have seen it a bunch of times. I don't get it, but it's out there. They rae seldom worth the trouble that they bring for the benefits you get in exchange, IMO. They are generally good for a booty call and that is about it, if you are into that. |

But who knows, I may become a total softy once the hormones start kicking in. A coworker is the worst babytalker I've ever seen. He starts dating a girl, talks to her like a baby, then wonders why she wants space/quits talking to him. It's bad, too. "Hiiii, how are youuuu?" an octave or 2 higher than he normally speaks. BARF! I asked him one time if he was dating a 2 year old. He got mad. What would make him think that any woman would want to be spoken to like that? I've never been hanging out with the girls and heard anyone say, "I love it when I guy starts talking to me like an infant?" |

Unfortunately, at this point, I may have train-wreck syndrome. Want to turn the other way, but just can't because it's sooooo weird to look at. Sooooo she must be pretty hawt. Well, she's definitely not ugly. I liked her in the beginning more on a "fun to do stuff and talk with" basis. Only person I've found lately with a similar take on a lot of subjects. Then a couple months later it descended into this. |
