I'm quite sure that I intimidate the vast majority of men that I go on dates with.
Don't get me wrong, I do my best to accommodate a stranger, I will turn my body language as gently as possible, lean in when appropriate, listen, inquire on that which I don't understand. I smile, I laugh when I'm amused, I split the bill, hold or walk through the door.
And yet my laugh is sometimes a cackle, my questions might seem to direct, and I won't hesitate to politely tell you the truth, if you really want to know it.
I am an Alpha female, sex-working, nude-modeling, toddler-mothering, ex-wifey, business-owning, political activist and social-media butterfly.
And I wonder why dating is a Choose Your Own Adventure book.
*sigh*
At least you'll never leave me, Hitachi wand!
