It’s hard to separate emotion from logic.
It takes practice.
Pffft you say, “but that takes work, and work gives me a rash!”
The best things in life come from practice. Changing and then practicing some more. And, then perfecting them. Sometimes, the change is where we get caught up. We have two directions we can go in. We can either focus on being happier or we become bitter.
Guess which one usually happens… “I’m bitter?! Your the one who’s bitter!” Yeah, um, sure… 
But I have a plan. A plan is logical? right? And for that I get a brand new shiny gold star. w00t!
Not quite there yet...
I’ve always believed in my heart, that love should follow logic. That, we should make a decision on who we will love for the rest of lives, using all of our abilities to look into the other person. Reading that person. Watching what they do with their eyes and hands.
Starting relationships start by actively being passive and agressive. [ actively passive?!! ]
Not only are we going to watch what the other is doing, but equally important, we need to act. We need to know what we are doing with our eyes, and our hands. And, this is what most people forget. How to act. We wait so intently to watch the other, that we forgot they are watching us. [ We want to ignore that, as it usually weird's us out, to think we are being watched. ]
Look into her eyes.
As if she is the only one there. This appears to be the most difficult. But, it should be the first thing, you do. This will take away all wondering what your intents are. They will look at you and they will study your eyes. They are going to wonder, what you are seeing, and if it is important to you, and they will know this by studying your eyes. And you will be speaking volumes, by allowing her to look into your eyes.
One dance, one look, one kiss, that’s all we get, Albert. Just… one shot, to make the difference between happily ever after, and oh? he’s just some guy I went to some thing with once.
Speak with your hands and body.
As if she is your only audience. If your interested in a long-term relationship, something meaningful that won’t crumble after 3 months [ 3 months is not long-term! ] Start out learning how you communicate non-verbally. Actions speak louder than words. Don’t come in to close, and don’t be stand-offish.
Everything you do, should represent being a gentlemen. Opening doors. How you walk. How you touch, and how you talk. Much of your communication with her will be non-verbal. Your words, should reflect how you act.
It’s all in the tone.
Now, on the one hand, it is very difficult for a man to even speak to someone who looks like you. But, on the other hand, should that be your problem?
Speaking with confidence, kindness and honestly. And focus on her. Because really? Your there on that date, because of her. You want more than anything to break that initial barrier, so that you can take each new step that comes to the both of you.
Make it so you believe and completely live it. Make it so you open the door to trust, and providing the right moments, to allow for her heart to open up.
It will be work, it will be practice, and it will require you to be flexible enough to change when change is needed.
Ha ha, great post- I have a feeling I know what sparked it!
