Less Pain and a Kiss Off
Written 6/13/2024.
Today dawned with little pain in my jaw. I was actually surprised at how little pain I had and haven’t taken any pain meds the whole day.
I did spend time last night doing the whole “heal thyself” thing using a couple different methods and visualization.
Did it help?
Who knows, but I’m happy with how I feel right now.
So, the next topic is one for the women. I connected with someone on the Meetup app. She reached out and we started texting back and forth.
Frankly, the conversations were very flat. I tried to ask interesting questions, but they didn’t go anywhere. Supposedly she lives in Naperville, but she has no social media presence even though she works for a large company (two red flags).
I finally gave her an ultimatum of either meet for coffee or I’m done. Texting just doesn’t work for me and I’m not going to waste time chatting back and forth if it’s doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.
She wants to just chat (red flag #3). I replied, good luck and I hope to meet you IRL at a meetup.
Done and done. Screen quickly, move on.
Note to women. I can’t connect very well over text only. It doesn’t work for me. I need to meet the person to take a measure to see if there’s a spark there. If you are unwilling to meet for an hour in a public place, then it means you are not invested in seeing where this relationship is going.
Frankly, I’m not sure if she was actually a real person. I told her as much and never shared anything personal that wasn’t already out on the web.
The good news is that I get back about 15 minutes of my day (we only texted briefly in the morning and a couple times back and forth in the evening, I’m too busy during the day).
Even if it went to dating, it would only be casual dating. I’m not at a place to have a committed relationship. Heck, I have too much stuff to do on my passion project to get distracted by a woman… (famous last words, I know).
Guys are different than gals when it comes to connecting, if you are unwilling to meet in the middle, then you will only find those guys you don’t want to be with. Just my two cents…
