DISCOVERY actually had a piece on human pheromones and where and how they affect our interactions. It touched on why a male might overestimate his draw on a female or assume there is attraction/int...

Yeh? Then I guess men shouldn't bother declaring their love or asking a woman out anymore. No pity for women complaining that they're single if you're gonna just make it impossible.

No no no, I don't know. DISCOVERY made me say it! I am ALL FOR the declaring and the asking. I am QUEEN of THE CHEESEBALLS! But I'm happily single at the moment, so no complaints here. I think I'...

C'mon, everyone says their "HAPPILY" single... until they meet someone they're absolutely keen on.

I hate how tough girls make it on guys. Accept a compliment and a date once in awhile. You know you want to. Skip the games.. it wastes precious time. It'll make it much easier on both parties. There's a difference between not rushing things and taking forever and a day. Let's not spend eternity with just being nice to each other.

One girl I liked I waited years to tell her, 'cause I thought it wouldn't be accepted by her sooner (guess it didn't matter at the end of the day, as it turns out..but we occasionally keep in touch which is nice). I've tried to change my ways and cut to the chase much quicker. Last girl I told that too, it was after knowing her for just like a 6 hours, within the same week I met her. Let's cut to the chase ladies!

Robbie you are the REAL DEAL-4 serious!
I TOTALLY get where you're coming from, especially regarding --just being nice--. On the other side of the issue, the egocentric delusions when someone genuinely is JUST BEING NICE, can unnecessarily complicate matters. It is true that A LOT of people aren't honest with themselves when it comes to their status but--tough nuggets if they miss out on something good-ya know?

Yeh, bottom line... if you are interested in someone, make it obvious enough. Closure is better than regret of something that maybe coulda been (but you wind up having no idea, 'cause you didn't give it a go). At least get closure. You'll feel much better even if you were rejected or pseudo rejected. And once you've exhausted all the potentials, it's time to move to a new area...Quite like I'm planning to move abroad again and do some country hopping. hahaha

Whew--
Sounds like a heavy deal. If it takes moving or traveling to adjust after a bad go around, best wishes!
:o)

Ok, the humor didn't come across. But, no I didn't have a 'bad go around' at all. I'm not repulsive, I should hope. I have really good relationships with the ladies here. Aside from that, I'm experiencing one of the happiest times of my life so far. I'm really loving NYC (and much more than I thought I would...in fact this was never really intended by me to go and try out), and it will actually be hard for me to leave here if I eventually do. Whether be this year, next year, or maybe I won't wind up moving from here afterall. The friends here are awesome. I'm having the time of my life.

I like living in different places as it is, tho. It's been my plan for years and years.. try living in this place, that place, so on. Makes life interesting. See new places, live in new places, meet loads of new people, get lots of life experience and knowledge about loads of cultures, and so forth. I don't like keeping myself limited, like some sort of self prison. I think it makes more sense to travel, than to not. Don't get stuck in a moment (I bet Gina will like that reference haha). When I have opportunity I try to take advantage of it. Being in a rut is not a lovely thing. I left NJ for NY to get out of a rut I was in, among other things. I couldn't be happier with my decision.

Still, it's on the next place probably...so I get further new experiences, while I still have the chance. For example, Australia has been one country on my mind at the moment, since I only have until age 30 to get the work permit.
