I dated a girl with a very thick dark coarse shrub that I did not care for one bit and in hindsight it's amazing how you go against your own standards when you are so head over heels for someone. She also wore sneakers without socks that made her feet smell like a jar of pickles, Lord keep me near the cross... What I also find particularly unattractive is when girls have hair on their inner thighs. Brazilian with a landing strip is the most attractive imo. So yes I prefer minimal hair, but otoh, being all red and irritated and bumped when shaved made the effort hardly worth it.

I don't know if I should ask him out, per se. We're not "there" yet, but what I want to do is at least make it clear to him that I'm interested, just like I'd like it if he made it clear to me that he's interested (or not, whatever the situation may be). He's not a gym bunny at all, trust me, but he's pretty fit and lean, and knowing several of his exes, I figure he generally sticks to guys who are the same. IDK. I don't think he would be shallow, but I could be wrong...and the "could be" is enough for me to be terrified.

The problem, though, is that I can NOT flirt with gay guys to save my life. I've flirted with enough straight guys to last a lifetime, though, and it's because I know that when they reject me, it's not because of me, it's because they're straight. Being rejected by a gay guy, though, means that it's something wrong with me. IDK. I have very brittle feelings unsure.png

I don't think that's the case, but I do agree that it's a dead end with him, so yeah. As far as someone being flattered and taking advantage of my feelings? Been there, done that...and never. a-f!ckin-gain.

LOL...I dont see any problem with it. Or should I say I dont have a problem talking about it.

Your story sounds a lot like mine. Mine was a summer crush that went south. Good luck with your guy. As much as I say I wouldnt have approached him....I would do it all over again. Go for it AMS.

I've had the flu almost all week...ugh...on a brightside I finally got my laptop I wanted....yay!

I never knew this thread was here! How exciting lol. AMS, your story is a page turner! I can't wait to see what happens. I have the same problem where I'm really shy. I'm very outgoing in general, but when it comes to guys I'm just too afraid of rejection. I can see a hot guy looking at me and giving me all the right signals, but I can't go that next step to seal the deal. I always think second guess myself, then regret it. But sometimes my inner hussy comes out and I own it and can dominate a room, but that's usually when I'm not looking and just want attention lol. My new years resolution needs to be to focus on dating more. 2011 was a dry year for me in that regard.

Right now I have a work guy in the works, but it's very complicated and involves that aformentioned hussy side. I'm the biggest flirt, but when every now and then somebody takes you seriously then I don't know what to do. That's where I'm at now. A sea of contradictions basically.

Wow, I dunno the completely waxed/shaved thing is so ridiculous to me and I know it's caught on with straight guys too. I don't want to feel like I'm wih a preteen... Keeping things in check is well and good, but...

I assume you don't like body hair in general then (because nothing is more ridiculous than someone being clean shaven down there and having even a bit of chest hair--believe me, I've seen)

    • What did happen to Beth between 86 and 89? Did she have amnesia?
    • I actually thought he came off as younger. It's so hard to buy Martin as Nicole and Ted's son unless they had him when they were 12.
    • @chrisml Isn't remarkable that, on a soap whose brand is built on twists and mysteries, that Raven's last straw was as simple as Logan saying that she was incapable of loving Jamey.  In the episode when Raven exit's and leaves Jamey with April, I can remember feeling the subtext that Raven is also trying to talk herself into leaving him behind.  There's so much in that little scene.  She's trying to stick it to Logan for saying she was a bad mother.  She's both granting April's wish, and damning her with the old adage of being careful what she wished for.  And, she's hinting to Draper that she's going to boff his father. It remains my favorite scene, and it still blows my mind that was not the end of that episode.  
    • Oh lord not Drew just figured out it was both Nina and Portia that set him up. Willow WILL never leave this man. Ric taking the case purely just to spite Sonny is [!@#$%^&*].ing hilarious.
    • And in addition to Patti being de-aged, she was no longer a nurse, divorced from Len(fair enough) and her two children were not seen and barely mentioned. So basically she was a totally new character. For newer viewers it didn't matter but any loyal viewers would have been wondering about all the changes with Patti. Sarah Whiting always puzzled me. The writers finally decide to acknowledge Jo's family and do so by making up a never mentioned adopted teen. Why not just bring in Tracey, Jo's actual grandaughter? As for Liza, perhaps it would have been wise to rest the character when Sherry left. They were big shoes to fill and her Liza was so identified with Travis. I don't recall what was going on in the story at that time but if they knew Sherry was leaving, write it so Liza would leave town to care for an ailing Janet and take a breather with the character for a few months.
    • Ahh interesting. Yeah, that's sad for A-M. I will say, he and Nick became fast friends when Susan started working at Spaulding. A-M/Lucy/Nick/Susan had a lot of double dates in those 7 months. A-M was Nick's best man at his wedding to Susan, which now that I think about it, is odd that he wouldn't have considered Fletcher. I remember those two were so close at the paper, and even living together with Ben. Once Tangie left SF, Nick left the paper, and Fletcher/Holly were rarely seen... so I guess they felt that friendship wasn't shown often enough anymore (which again, lazy writing).
    • I honestly don't think Alan-Michael ever really had a friend on the show. Maybe Cameron or Samantha, but otherwise... *Cameron was a high school friend who ended up dating teenage Dinah after she broke up with A-M. Samantha is Phillip's biological sister, who A-M treated like a sister. Interestingly enough, they were born the same week on the show in 1981, but A-M ends up being older than her when she returns to town in '89.
    • I thought he was very cute too, and a likeable presence even though on paper Cliff was a prick. I wonder if he was well-liked by viewers or someone at the show as there's a point in these episodes where he could have been written out and was not.
    • I'm not a Derek fan at all (and not even all that much of an Ashley fan, but man has she become awful in their relationship--like she's not even trying.  But also I admit, I don't think I'd ever live with someone, even someone I was married to (I know they're not married) in a bachelor apartment unless I had to.  Even just a one bedroom would make a big difference.  I'd probably end up hiding in the bathroom a lot

    • Going back to this, I'm even more confused why Amanda would say that only a year later (lazy writers), because I'm watching April 29, 1996 right now and literally all of the current on-air Spauldings (Alan, Alex, Amanda, A-M) and Coopers (Buzz, Lucy, Frank, Eleni) are on a plane together for Lucy/A-M's wedding. Along with Reva (which right now makes sense because she's married to Buzz), Dahlia (so out of place, but by default because they can't let a high school kid they just took in stay home alone), and a very random Rick (he's barely had any interaction with any of these characters all year haha).  It's like a madhouse on that plane, which is pretty comical because most of them don't get along... but they very much know each other. Still miffed that Bridget is totally forgotten here. And David. And Nick/Susan! Couldn't they have waited to fire them until after this wedding?  It was only like 2 months later. They had to make Alan be A-M's best man (which is wild to me) bc A-M doesn't even have any real friends on the show right now.
