Serendipity
I've been trying to avoid flirting and going out of my way to desperately seek now friends and companions.
However, lately I've been meeting some cool and interesting new people without even trying. Or maybe it's because I'm NOT trying, and thus not scaring folks away.
I think I'm a pretty cool interesting guy (albeit without proper filters, and relationship retarded). However, when I'm purposely trying to meet new people (especially women), I tend to come across as smarmy, since I flirt to overcompensate for my shyness.
Lately, I've just been dealing with the shyness, assuming I'm going to put my foot in it but talking anyway. I do often put my foot in it, but i catch myself and apologize. Sometimes this is considered offensive, sometimes it's considered charming. *shrugs*
I'm also trying to spend more time with my good friends, ones I've had for years. Of course, things are getting busy at work, and I have a vacation coming up, so I may be hit or miss in that department for while.
