LESSONS

while out to dinner with my family this evening, my brother informed me that i am no good at flirting.  and that this a skill i should work on as i tend to come off cold and uninviting. hmm… who knew? great.

how did we get on this topic? i believe we were discussing my brother’s mad skills in the area of being flirtatious, and then regrettably stumbled upon my apparent lack of these skills. i come off cold? i am not a cold person. i am, however, a self-conscious person, who over thinks everything and has a hard time relaxing. i worry so much about how i am being perceived that i think i hold back a lot of me, until i am sure that the other person is going to like me being… me. i do it in all of my relationships, especially new ones. guy, girl, interest or not.

…so perhaps that makes for a lame flirter. i’ll work on it, ok?
