Recently I've had the opportunity to chat with a few lady friends about their love lives. As we spoke of good times and bad times, break ups and hooks ups, happy times and sad times, one thing stood out to me as an intregal part of dating that I think has somehow lost its ways over the years. Confidence. Guys lack it and girls want it.
Guys, have you ever been talking to a girl, everything is going great, and then had the thought, "Don't get nervous and say anything stupid, stupid"! Then low and behold your heart stops, you swallow hard, and you can't think of anything else to say except, "please excuse me while I sit here and drool over myself..." I do it all the time! It's an awkward skill I've acquired over the years. It ruins a conversation in 2 seconds flat... Ha. Most definitely horrific and amazingly awkward.
Now for those of you who know me, it's common knowledge that I can be a little ostentatious/obnoxious/overbearing. Which I think to some degree girls like, whether they want to admit it or not. Everyone likes to laugh and if I can help you do that it seems to have a tendency to help you open your heart just a little ity bit to see who this guy really is. Now that's great for when I'm with a girl I'm not attracted to or interested in, because I can be myself. But my question is why is it so dang hard to do that around girls you do like? It drives me crazy. If I could just reverse the bloody roles I'd have beautiful women falling all over me! Hypothetically and very unlikely speaking of course. But just think!
On that note, women, how do you girls respond when a guy is talking to you and most obviously is tripping all over himself? Do you realize that it's because he probably likes you and is scared out of his mind as it is just to be near you? Do you appreciate him for his attempt or shiver in disgust after he leaves with your fake number? Ha... Maybe you find it cute? I can't imagine why, weird if you ask me... but let me know. That way the next time I have to untie my tongue while I'm talking to you you'll better understand why I sound so retarded and I'll know a little better the cruel things going through your head when I do. Thank you.

Donald. I want to set you up on a date with my best friend. She is seriously the coolest girl EVER, and I think you would hit it off. Her name is Dawna and her number is 435-730-0658 :D This is where the confidence thing comes in, feel free to be bold. Girls do like that.
Well dang Heather, look at you just throwing out your best friends number like it's nobody's business! Somehow I'm guessing Dawna isn't aware of your matchmaking antics? Ha. I am quite flattered though that you would even consider me. Maybe I'll see Dawna around sometime.
Agreed!
Why do you say "maybe I'll see Dawna around"? Do you know what the chances are of you just happening to see her around? VERY POOR! You've got to take some initiative, man! I don't throw her number out often. In fact, this is the first time. So don't take it for granted :) She isn't aware of my matchmaking "antics" but i'm sure she'll appreciate them. Call her up.
It's spelled "lo and behold," not "low and behold," but seeing as you still have yet to master your drooling problem, I'll let it slide.
