And wow, ...Thank you Tacy, that's great advice! And wow, I never thought about that as an independence issue but I can so see that now. I think that that might be part of my problem too. I don't want to come across as needy or anything. As a result, I think I come across as super hard core and icy sometimes,ya know?? <br /><br />As for the boys and that dates, I feel like I have kind of used up all possible resources but I will certainly keep that in mind for the future. There is nobody that I went out with that I care to really even talk to right now. Well, except for one that I do talk to...who has a brother that is fun to flirt with, haha! Even still, I do not want to date either of them. Lame, I know! Just waiting for someone new and awesome to come along! :)Livin it uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10887333288439954311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2818187141695251625.post-50746966086935383012010-12-06T16:00:54.851-08:002010-12-06T16:00:54.851-08:00I've always been a touch-oriented person. In j...I've always been a touch-oriented person. In junior high and high school my friends (both girls and boys) and I always gave hugs and had our arms slung around each other and it really does mean a lot! I know it's hard, though, because it seems like we live in a world that preaches nothing but self independence. Lance and I talk about it a lot and how lame it is! We all need each other! Life is more meaningful that way! So I know it's hard, but I also know you can do it! And I know you really want a guy to be the one to ask you on a second date, but that stereotype of confident, cocky guys isn't always the truth. Lance told me that guys are often just as insecure about asking girls out so if you go the extra mile and see if one of them might want to go out with you ago, it would go a long way! I don't know if there's anyone you feel like you could do that with, but if so, maybe give it a try sometime!Growing Up Skyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14288135765589621327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2818187141695251625.post-16976814117158874542010-12-05T13:39:20.087-08:002010-12-05T13:39:20.087-08:00I'm glad you told me Shannon...cause that is t...I'm glad you told me Shannon...cause that is the person I want to be! And that is exactly the point I'm trying to make...don't you just feel so much more of a connection with people when they are not afraid to touch you in some way? I think it's great! And I had a revelation of sorts when I was writing this...what if this is a huge factor in the reason guys are never interested in me?? I am good at being friends with them but they don't want to date me. It could be my bubble!! But there is hope for me!! Thank you! :)Livin it uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10887333288439954311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2818187141695251625.post-29161973306313077302010-12-05T13:20:02.505-08:002010-12-05T13:20:02.505-08:00I've got to say, I used to be pretty anti-touc...I've got to say, I used to be pretty anti-touch as well. I never hugged people, and PDA was not for me. Or so I thought. After I started dating a little more (well into my college years, mind you), I realized that I was all about physical contact! And not just with a boy. I just became a person who needs physical contact. Hugs and touches on the arm and holding hands and kisses, the whole shebang. <br /><br />I don't know exactly why I'm telling you this, other than maybe once you get in a groove, you'll swap from an impenetrable bubble to a "touchy feely" girl. :)Shannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06981891485896983107noreply@blogger.com
