Archive for the ‘Dating Women’ Category
A few years ago, when I still believed in dating, I went on date with a woman I’d managed to create initial attraction with. I didn’t recognize the signals at the time, but I’d been acting in a naughty/funny way around her and she was attracted to me. Eventually I decided to ask her for her number (another mistake but she was so attracted it didn’t matter), and she agreed to go out.
When she showed up at my door, she looked great, and I thought I was in for a good time (by dating standards). But, I relapsed into the “nice guy/wuss” and she didn’t get the man she thought she was getting. Needless to say it ended with a peck on the cheek and unreturned phone calls. There was however, something very interesting that came out of that experience, something that taught me a valuable dating lesson, and that I was better off not seeing her.
You see, during the dinner conversation (yeah, I took her to dinner–I was pretty dumb back then) we got to talking about dating and different people we knew. How she described each person was incredibly revealing–they were either “out of her league” or she was “out of their league.” She had a personal caste system and put herself squarely in the middle–the sign of a mediocre self image.
