Learn from the mistakes of others

Today you could come up with a new strategy, Steven. Maybe you have grown used to handling people and projects a certain way. Although your habits may be productive, maybe you aren't generating the results that you would like. Today you should open your mind to new ways of approaching things. You could envision a new technique that could start bringing in the big bucks!

not thinking about money. thinking about relationships.

rethinking. relating.

this week has been a series of surprise meetings, one after the other.

i have run into old friends on the street that i have not seen in years. am making an effort to make sure i don't loose touch with them so quickly now.

i also caught up with someone i haven't spoken to for many months. we had a long chat today, a d&m, over coffee and cake. was wonderful to catch up, and to debrief. we've both been on journeys this year.

as we talked, many things clicked into place for me. i had already had a quick chat with an old acquaintance in the mall, which had begun the wheels turning. during the hour in the coffeeshop, they began to fall into place.

while i am looking for a substantial relationship, i am prepared to experiment. to explore. to try short term arrangements. to let go and just be.

but. and there is a but. i also recognised that i am terrible at starting relationships. that this is something that i need to practice.

i get stage fright, but keep on going - i just never get around to closing the deal and making a decisive move. i am over-cautious, 'safe'.

damn my black, lily-livered heart. time to take a few risks. if i hope for anything, i really ought to go out and try to get it. i fuck up badly enough as it is - i should at least give myself a fighting chance to get the object of my attention.

i have realised that i tend to go on past the point where i ought to leave. the point in the flirting where i should offer my number, and go catch a bus home - while i'm still awake enough to think straight - and leave her feeling good about the possibility of us. leave her feeling that we were interrupted, that i'd like to continue - to keep in touch.

try the whole flirt and leave them wanting more game.

and try to be aware in case she wants to play the game herself. coz i know someone who did, and i didn't grab the opportunity. [:slaps side of head with palm:]

sorry sienna. sorry annie.

to be sure i'm an aspie, which means i often miss little signs and signals in human interactions. or i'm too busy observing to interact/react/respond.

but one thing seems true. if i find a woman is smiling uncontrollably in my presence, i should take that as a good sign.

Here is your horoscope for Thursday, July 29:
You could cross paths now with someone who'll introduce you to the group you've been waiting to contact. Just don't leave them behind, once you've found your niche.

unlike the marines, i don't leave friends behind. i push them out front so they can take the bullet first. :grin:

well. no. actually. i don't leave friends behind.
