Valentine's Day, Part Two

(February 13, 2012)
Also, I shouldn't keep going, because that email is already longer than usual, no mean feat. But I had the following facebook chat with someone who took me on a date and wish to know to what extent you concur. The following are all statements he made.

You put off this "I can't be caught" vibe, but you talk as if you throw yourself around a bit behind the scenes.

But kissing boys is not what I mean. You put off the vibe of "oh sure, if you're hot and you're a tool, maybe you can make out with me, but no one can REALLY have me."

I got that vibe from you the first time I ever spent any time around you, that being at the Tau Beta Pi initiation dinner, and we didn't even talk.

You're attractive, and not the type that goes unnoticed. You have a knack for having the attention turn to you in a crowd...probably caused by a mix of you wanting the attention and other people wanting yours.

You never got too involved in a conversation with any guy at the table, no matter how hard they were trying to be funny and impress you, but you still laughed at the jokes and played along.

It's really throwing me off. I can think of almost no experiences where I have come away from a first date just as confused about what I thought of someone. I generally decide whether or not I'm interested in one date. One interaction, even. When you know, you know, right? I guess not...

[First, he proceeds to extol my virtues kindly, and then]

But you also strike me in a lot of ways as the antithesis of girls I'm generally interested in. Playing easy to get physically but not otherwise, perhaps a bit too aware of how wanted you are, easygoing to the point of wanting to prove you're a little "bad."



So, none of this is me bragging, I swear. I'm just really intrigued at this kid's take, and wish to know your opinion of some or all of the above - both the fact that he said them so baldly and whether you agree.


Yes, this is all about me.


Sorry.
