Heh. Told my friends I was into a girl and complained about not having a clue when it comes to signs and signals and taking things to the next level. My sexual history consists largely of freshly-broken-up girls rebounding into me and throwing themselves at me. I hadn't realized how out of touch I was with the pursuit end of things until I started chasing this new girl. Suddenly, I'm clueless.
So I vented a little and in return I got an hour lecture on creating a mood, mistakes to avoid, reading body language, exit strategies - the whole courtship 101 lecture. Damn, but that was helpful. I wonder if there are books on this sort of thing I've been ignoring all my life, or if these are still closely-held secrets of Americana.
I'm an engineer. How the freak was I supposed to know candles and flowers might actually make a difference? I've always considered candles an expensive, foul-smelling, somewhat inefficient method of painting your walls black. But in truth, they're there for a reason. They create MOOD.
The last slice of mmmmm lemon meringue pie is calling me from the refrigerator. Gotta go. Wish me luck.
