You just choked. And with dramatic flare. Yup. Now your sitting at home, licking your wounds. And, you know who is to blame? Sure, you could blame Bush Administration, or your childhood fear of sweaters. But, really, it’s all you.
[ I'm sure you could use a hug right now ]
So lets take a road down memory lane, shall we?
All I'm saying is, it's so much easier to write it in chalk. Ya know?
Remember Tina? It was a bright, starry night. The two of you were laying on the hood of the car watching the shooting stars fall. You had the radio playing Def Leppard and the conversation went a little like this:
You: Hey aren’t they performing soon.
She: Ah, yeah, I’m not sure. What did you think of Julie and John kissing?
You: Ah I don’t know. Why? Dude, but they rock right?
She: It was nice wasn’t it?
You: Def Leppard? I would say more than nice, they totally rock!
She: That wasn’t what I meant.
You: Okay….
[ now ]
You: Dude, why are you talking about Tina, you know how much that hurt?
Me: Here me out. Remember Julie?
You: Dude, what ya’ doing?!
Me: Nothing. And, I’m still not hugging you.
So, It’s a miracle, that we guys, grow out of the shell, that we seem to build up around us. But once we do, all kinds of amazing things happen. I was told once by a friend, that if he were to get divorced, that he wouldn’t know how to date, since in the marriage it’s filled with a pretty open communication.
He’s right.
We look at the games we play during the dating process. And, it’s difficult to play it, when we know that we just want to hear what your thoughts are and how you truly feel. We know that you’re worried that you don’t want to have a bad impression. But look at it this way, your chances of having him completely fall in love with you over a game, has slim chances.
It’s the whole ESP aspect. We try and learn to read you, really, we do. But to learn to read you, requires you to be open with us. To have us learn how you tick. So that later on, when you do say something without “saying something”, we will know exactly what to do and say.
The key here, is that we want to know what to say. But, do to levels of immaturity and learning what is expected of us, it takes time. So be patient.
Me: Dude! Fix your relationship, so you have someone to hug. Cause, again! I’m not hugging you!
