I met someone last night whom I really liked. In fact, I met 3 new people yesterday, only 2 of which were tolerable, and only the one that I actually enjoyed.
By the way, to all my female readers: if you're ever in the woods with anyone who remotely enjoys nature ----> take the time to enjoy what's around you, don't say "ewwwwwww" to mud, and when you complain that you might get your pants dirty and someone suggests that you might consider just cuffing up your pants, even if you think it's a stupid idea, do it anyway. Otherwise you're going to lose a whole lotta points.
Anyhoo, I think it's interesting to watch my friends and I all be attracted to the same girl. I noticed that there is a certain civility about it. I know that if any one of us was successful and started forming a romantic relationship with her, that the others would back off and focus their interests elsewhere. That's nice to know.
However, I did spend time with one of my friends last night, and there's something about him that I consistently do not enjoy. He's very generous, likes his friends very much.
I think though . . . it seems like he's got somebody raking his face off. Maybe he feels a lot of guilt, but when I'm around him, I often wonder if maybe he's going to break down.
I'll have to write more later, my thoughts are not entirely clear, just a funny feeling, something that bothers me. Not fun.
So I met one of my friend's friend last night at a place that I have not been to for many years. It was a nice time. I think she's very easy to get along with, and very fun, and has a smile that makes me smile.
I think that sometimes when people see something they like, they have a lot of expectations about it. It's as if we think we already know how things will turn out. For instance, I'm already certain that I will have no romantic relationship with this person. Why you may ask? It's too easy. We laugh too easily, our time is too pleasant, and I'm sure she's a flirt and that
I am getting no special treatment.
Isn't that interesting. Before seeing what things are really like, I am already certain that I know. What's even more interesting is that much of the time if life does not live up to our expectations, we make life adapt to our expectations. That is, sometimes if nothing is wrong, we'll make something wrong.
Where in life are your expectations? How do you know that what you think will happen will happen?
I'll keep posting regarding the girl, if my readers find her interesting, or just to watch as I go through the playing out of my expectations and how reality really is.
Gassho.
