My public persona
A friend says why do you listen to what all these people tell you? I accept dating advice from women who are chronically single. And I say, I invite it by being a public person. If I kept all my life questions to myself then no one would know what buttons to push with me – but instead I’m like a whack a mole, you might not know what hole or issue is going to pop up and pop my head out, but you can damn sure count on getting a whack in if you listen long enough.
The truth about dating, or my experience is this, everyone has a strategy and here’s mine – you see something you like, go for the gusto. Gomez says if a girl does something, and the guy doesn’t like it, then he’s not into her. But the girl could do the same thing and another guy likes it, and it’s not cause this guy necessarily likes “it”, it’s that he likes “her.” I buy that.
I also buy that people have unwritten expectations that they heap onto others. My largest expectation is I expect you to be true to your feelings – don’t come on like a house on fire and then evaporate like smoke – that ain’t right. Although rumor has it this shit goes down all the time.
