the sky is falling

Apr 28, 2007 00:22

According to the law of probability, it should be next to impossible for me to unintentionally make a fool of myself and humiliate me as often as I do.
I think I just shot down yet another balloon.

Is being up-front and honest always a bad thing when you're getting to know someone, or am I just spectacularly inept?

dammit!, seven samurai, interesting tactics, stupidity, confession

I don't think it's a bad thing; perhaps it's the subject you're being honest about that's scary...?

Is the out-and-out "this is what I'm looking for at this point in my life: ________. Just FYI." thing scary? Because, then, yes.
I am perhaps just too open about everything all the time these days - it's like I got sick of going "Psssst! Hey buddy, ya wanna buy a watch" and started just laying everything on a vendor's table, shouting out "You take one, you get the lot! This is what it is what it is, dammit! Take it or leave it! Limited time offer! One real human, collector's edition but cracked - free to a good man!".
lol
I think I need to brush up that mental image a bit...

It could be scary if that's not what they're looking for... the up-front/immediate idea of ________. Of course, part of that might depend on what ________ is. I'm guessing, however, that it doesn't involve only nudity and whipped cream.

;)

Perhaps it's the delivery? "I want _________!!" vs. "I'm looking for _________ sometime down the road when the right person comes along."

Next time, make sure to record everything for later scrutiny. I want video.

lol
Not only nudity and whipped cream, no.
I was being up front and honest about what I want because we're trying to figure out whether to get together or not, and if we do, in what capacity and so on. It's a diplomatic dance that has my feet aching.
But y'know, I'm impatient, so maybe I just need to chill the fuck out and find out what's what as it comes up...
(I'm just no good at that. No good at all.)

You remind me of my friend hobblecock... no patience for this kinda stuffs at all. Dives right in. Shallow water. Usually hits his head. Wonders how he so quickly got to the bottom.

lol
I know what you mean - but I don't believe this water is at all shallow or I wouldn't be diving here.
And as someone I once knew has said, "don't dive shallow in deep, dark water".
It's all or nothing for me because that's how I operate.
I can't help myself.
