Why do women....

[Aluscia]

Call me, then, Mana... you know my number... besides, weren't we supposed to play DDR today?

[Kyrie]

Hehe, DDR would *so* cheer me up right now. Unless, of course, the first controller started acting up again, in which case I'd just get mad and kick the stupid thing a lot >.<;;;

Aaaaaanyway, I think you'll like the new MALICE PV, senpai. ^_^ Beast of Blood is sooooo great (wai wai~)!! And it's not as "budget" as their Gackt-era videos... when their old label Nippon Columbia was all like, "We're too cheap to pay for quality film, so we'll make your PVs look like bad soap operas!" Hehe. You'll see what I mean when we watch the PV for "Le ciel ~kuuhaku no kanata e~". "ILLUMINATI"'s PV is pretty cheap too, but at least that one has the flashy lighting effects goin' on. And the fake virtual reality chairs. *Gotta* love that.

Ohhh, I am the Queen of Off-Topicness.

T_T <--tears of... joy? well...

Mata ne.

[Stang]

And you call us girls confusing? Then you go and tease us sheesh .

Men play games just as well and are JUST as confusing.

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

I think that men are much easier to understand than women. I've never really trusted myself in how I interpret what a woman does or says. Yet, I can easily figure out what a guy means when he says: "Cool."

[XRogue]

The reason men cannot figure women out is that men don't listen.

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

What?

Why do women always have to insinuate things? Why can't they just come out and explicitly state what the heck it is they are talking about?

[Stang]

Hey we do, like Rogue said you dont listen.

Us not sometimes sayin what we should right out is like you men not gettin the guts to just come over and kiss us. Works both ways . Men are just as bad us girls.

[XRogue]

I do say what I mean. Loudly and with feeling. All the time. Ask Gambit. Men do not say what they want because they either don't KNOW what they want, or all they want is.......well, you fill in that particular blank. Heh. Men are no good at identifying what they really want, and because they can't admit that, they won't be straight with ya.

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

well, I know EXACTLY what I want from this one girl. But I KNOW if I come out and explicitly state it, she won't have any interest in me anymore. (And no, it is not JUST sex...though that would be fun. )

[XRogue]

Well, what is it you want, if not the obvious? Perhaps we could help you figure out a better way to phrase it.

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

Well...

I am a one-woman guy. I can't handle more than one at a time.

I am not looking for a short term relationship.

Nothing that is one-sided. I'm not an emotional pillow (been there, sucks ass). I don't want to be a friend.

I think that the way that it would come across, when I tell her, is that: "I just want sex." That's not true. For me, there is more to a relationship. I don't want to come across as a pansy-boy either.

Does that make sense?

[Aluscia]

So tell her, "I want to hook up with you for a long term relationship. I like the way you look, the way you laugh, and I think we'd be a great couple." Don't beat around the bush, jeez... Lets just say I had an interesting encounter very recently where that same beating around the bush was happening, and I was kinda irritated, but the subject matter was *A LITTLE* more sensative... eh heh heh.

[XRogue]

Laur's right, you have to at least TRY to tell her what you want. Women cannot read your mind any more than we can read yours, and as I'm fond of telling Gambit, "Speak up, I can't hear your head rattle." If you tell her and she leaves, how is that worse than not being honest about your wishes and intentions so she leaves anyway?

Just word it very simply to her more or less the way you did with us. You want a long term relationship because you are a one at a time kinda person. You'd like to know if she feels that way about it or if she is less serious, because you think it's more fair to both of you to know where you're going and what the emotional involvement is. If she's not ready or the emotional commitment isn't the same on her side, ok. Work it out together or go your separate ways.

I realize it's risky, and I feel for ya.

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

I told her exactly what I thought.

She said that she wanted the same things, but was taking it slowly. (She got out of a relationship in December that was pretty long term.)

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

Oh yeah. That's cool with me. I think it is a fine line between being 'just friends' and romance. I know what side I want to be on, and now, so does she.

Whatever happens, happens. Things will work out for the best.
