Yes, you can always substitute other aspects of the romantic interaction with more sex. We men are flexible on that point. :D

Man, for being from SF, you are one hetero dude :)

 

First visit to SF, no lie... I was there for 5 minutes and some gay guy was making kissie faces at me at a stop light. LOL

Well I'm from the South Bay and don't live in San Francisco itself so it's less gay in these parts. :D

 

But yeah, that happens a lot in the city. I'm assuming you were in or near the Castro District at the time. :cool:

Yeah I had a gig downtown. Ended up playing 6 songs with Lars and Kirk. It was overall a great experience.

Guitar. I used to be in a Metallica tribute band, the biggest one on the planet. I retired from Tribute Bands in 2004. Guess why? ;)

 

I like covers, especially doing Alice in Chains. If you want, I can link you "Down in a Hole" and "Angry Chair" that are all 100% me on everything.

And well he might. Who needs a cook when you have a girl who..... "overcompensates"! :love:

 

So, Pixie and HoldOn, what style can I cook you this evening? :laugh:

Yes, the Lars and Kirk. James was in rehab and Jason had just quit. We jammed 6 Metallica songs with them at a fan convention we were playing.

wow LB,

good one. i have to say that that was probably one of the best posts that i have ever read. not because i am a man, but because it was clear, void of personal taint, and in touch with humanity. you seem to be a well rounded person and need to be running a women's workshop...

Posted

Is this why when a man tells you that he's in love with you too soon....well that he's fallen in love with the idealized version of you and you should run in the other direction....once the real you surfaces he's going to fall out of love with you?

Posted

:laugh: i doubt it. he might be overemphasizing your good qualities in his head, but by no means making up new ones.

 

it also depends on the person. does he seem overidealistic to you? what you project to him as your personality, your physical body, etc., i think is what is attracting him in the first place.

 

also if you are even seriously considering running away from him in the first place if you don't think you can meet his expectations, do you think he is worth being with? don't forget to look at the qualities you like and dislike in him.

When I read LB's post I thought of an ex....so my answer is no, he's not worth being with. I found someone way better. Just curious around hearing I Love You too soon.

if any man tells you he loves you and you feel it is too soon then you should be wary. maybe not run the other way but try and find out what is on his mind really. i think the point she was trying to make is to be the real you in the first place. or, if you can't make sure that a portion of that idealized you becomes a permanent part of the real you if you want to keep that love...

Ever notice that guys hardly ever ask "how do you attract a woman and KEEP her?"

 

Why do we women sound so dam* desperate all the time??

You're joking, aren't you? My impression is that LS has more guys asking this question one way or another...

No, I'm not joking. For the most part, guys here, and guys in general, ask questions about how to GET women, e.g. "How should I approach girls" and "How do I not fall in the friend zone". Although it certainly happens, posts of the "what can I do to keep this person I'm dating/I'm afraid they're becoming distant/what is our status/how do I keep them interested in me" variety are WAY less common among male posters then they are among female posters.

Has anyone ever been just completely honest about who they *really* are in the beginning of a relationship? I am considering that approach next time. Like, hey, this is me in all my glory...if ya don't like it well, then...see ya! At least there will be no surprises later. I clean up good...and can put on the charm if need be...but, the Sunday afternoon side of me is strictly sweats & t-shirt kinda girl. ;) ...and I usually don't show that side of me right at the get go.

Point taken. I didn't get that you were making a distinction between get and keep. I guess guys are more often the pursuers, but girls are more often the emotional managers?

 

For what it's worth, I don't worry about attracting women - this seems to be way too easy - but am concerned about and working on my longer term relationship skills. So at least one guy doesn't fit your pattern ;)
