Live_wire Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) After visiting my hometown over the holidays, I had an odd realization. I have always been immensely popular with females but never realized it until well past my teen years. I guess this might have served a useful function in that it allowed me to concentrate on my studies and work. Nonetheless, I just remembered all of those times when girls used to chase me around the schoolyard, or be sure to find me on my way to school to walk with me. Or, girls in high school who would tease me after school or in class, etc etc etc. I could have been quite the "ladies man" or girl's man rather all the way through high school but didn't quite understand the signals to look for. Or, even if they were blatant, I guess I chose to ignore it, because having a girlfriend wasn't a priority. Was anyone else like this? Edited February 28, 2014 by Live_wire
the_entertainer1 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Yeah, I was. I never thought I was that pretty or attractive to guys. It wasn't until the past year or two (at the age of 23-24) where I've begun to be able to recognise the signs. And I could kick myself when I think of some of the signs I missed out on (especially concerning a guy I used to like, who I thought wasn't interested in me, who probably actually was, but isn't single anymore!)

Having a boyfriend is not my priority. Be careful though, you might lose someone you really liked because of this!
BJP56 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Im going through that with a girl I really like, shes going to grad school come August she is just interested in being friends. She does not want a relationship at the moment, which is ok. What keeps going through my mind is losing her because I did not fallow. I am respectful of her space because I do not want her to snap at me and call off a good friendship we both have.
Emilia Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Was anyone else like this? I still am. I was out for drinks months ago with two guys I work with and one of them had a baseball cap on. As a joke I took it from him and put it on. He looked at me and went 'even hotter' and the other one nodded. It didn't occur to me until then that they saw me that way.
Gaeta Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I was 40 when I realized I was a very attractive woman. Better late than never.
callingyouuu Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Yup. A girl I had a crush on asked me out to dinner a few years ago, and it took me until just recently for me to realize it probably would have been a date. Not my brightest moment.
StanMusial Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 No. I grew up with 3 sisters under the same roof and subconsciously learned how women behave around men and what they said and thought. Down to the subtle looks and expressions and gestures and mannerisms. Except for the occasional outlier, and a healthy factoring of unpredictability, I usually know where I stand at any given time.
