The Feeling Is Strange....
So I was talking to someone tonite on the phone and came to the realization that I have probably squashed many potential relationships over the past couple years. I don't think I have realized it prior to tonite. I tried to pass it off as being from NY but my friend saw right through it...probably because he is from NY. Anyway, here is what we found out...
1. My hockey playing ex is to blame for all my relationship baffles since he literally almost broke my heart
2. When it comes to interacting with guys...I can make an ice cube look like something to snuggle with. I do not mean to...it just happens.
3. I tend to make guys my friends..and even if I have feelings for them...I do not let them know. Instead I just wait for the feeling to pass and move on. Most times my parents are just left shaking their heads wondering what happened!
4. For some reason I do not see how it is possible for any guy to be interested in me, and I am not used to guys looking at me or being blunt about liking the way I look.
5. I do not trust people when they say nice things about me. Instead I have to ask as many people as possible what they think of the situation just to make sure the original guy might have really meant it.
6. If I like a guy....I tend not to show it. Instead..I tend to piss them off about something or say things so they won't think I like them. No matter how much I like you...I most likely will not tell you...no matter how much pressure there is.
7. If you are married/divorced/or seperated and have kids...you will find me attractive for some unknown reason...and you will feel the need to tell me that you find me attractive...and not tell me you have kids.
8. Also..if you are older than me...you will find me attractive....and the older you are..the more likely you are to be #7.
Yeah, that is about it. Figures. And #7 is so approperiate this month.
Anyway, I think I am going to tell every guy I ever liked that I had a crush on them at one point in time. So if you get a text or an email saying this....just deal with it. I am probably over it so no need to worry. I am just going to start acting on my feelings and not waiting until tomorrow...because tomorrow may never come......

Looks like A. Huddleston & I have more in common than previously thought: married and/or divorced and/or separated guys pursue us. I haven't yet breathed a word about the Russian -- yes, the actual Russian(TM), a la Sex & the City -- who gave me chocolates & wine for my b-day, despite being married. I mean, I guess maybe it's acceptable to do things like that in the mother country, but come on, now. He was like, "I hope your boyfriend doesn't get the wrong idea!" but it's like... what about, hmm... your wife much? Thanks...
I do all the same reverse-tactic things, btw. I can't help it. I'm always surprised at how insecure guys turn out to be, but that still doesn't stop me.

Your Russian isn't married, Bess. Who the hell are you talking about? I thought your Big is the married man. I'm confused as hell, now.

Oh yes'm, my Russian and my Big are both married. My FPSD (Former Potential Sugar Daddy) isn't, though (more on him tk). The Russian's wife is actually from the old country -- i.e, they roughed it over there together, came over on the boat in like '91 or what-have-you, so it's not even like he's a player and they just got married and it was a mistake or something. They're lifelong partners/soulmates. I have no interest in him, anyway, and I think he just flirts with me because I'm blonde and American and it gives him some degree of thrill to take that to the absolute limit without *actually* doing anything. Whatever -- as we say in MY old country: NO TIME.
And, Tony, I wish I could say that I *tried* to emulate my life around Sex & The City, but I had absolutely no say in my Big's decision to actually, physically move to California. And I didn't ask an actual Russian to pretend-court me.
I don't know about some of the stuff the girls DO on the show, but in my experience every girl really does -- if only loosely in some cases -- have the same boy/relationship-prototype lineup in real life.

They're psychotic slutty bitches, but they're insightful and funny and I don't miss an episode.
Miranda gets the short end of the stick, though: Chlamydia and a baby.

Did Lara really post that last comment?! I can't believe she'd use a swear-word AND refer to ending up with a baby as being "the short end of the stick"! I smell foulplay.

Hmm...I do not know...I did a search by IP and that comment did not show up...only her first.

Um, yes, it's me. I say bitchy once in a while (most often about myself) and Miranda ending up with a surprise out of wedlock pregnancy is the short end of the stick.
What I was responding to in Tony's comment was that only in her case are there legitimate real-life consequences to the high risk behavior those women indulged in.
