Games, Plays and Relationships

"I like my genders clearly defined."--Matsugi

I had one of the most entertaining conversations with a co-worker yesterday that got me thinking, smiling and spewing out ideas. Let me do what I can.

So she and this guy have the hots for each other. This is good right? Well, it's the stage where they're with each other most nights of the week but no has yet to hold hands or even discuss the fact that they want to hook up with each other. It's pretty obvious that there's interest but neither one knows exactly the thoughts of the other. This has lead to the man asking said girl out on Friday for Saturday already having tickets because of the assumption that they like each other. This is done with him not knowing that he still needs to ask her out before other guys do because really, they haven't started going out yet and he holds no presidence.

Other story: He took her to Homecoming. She did not take him to Preference [though her original plan was to] because he bashed said venerated practice of Preference. She didn't go at all because of the fact that she still likes him. He still needs an excuse to go over to her place and when he does come over with said excuse the two end up flirting and paying attention to no one else. He still needs some other excuse though. She doesn't need one to go to his place. He still can't ask her out straight up sometimes though he explicitly implies that she should come. She didn't reply until he asked her specifically. Stuff like this happens consistently.

As you can see, with so much interest flying around and nothing happening she is going out of her mind. He probably is too somewhat. This happens a lot when the two aren't straight up with each other. Something needs to happen. A DTR, an FYI, something, anything!! There was the suggestion that she should email the boy specifically giving him a time and place for a discussion of their relationship should be. Or possibly even calling the boy up saying "DTR, tonight 8pm at the Brigham Statue." That would blow him out of his mind!! I would give anything to see the look upon his face after that. I asked if I could slap the boy in the face which she mused the idea and chuckled. We threw around several ideas like this. It was good times.

I'm all about being straight up. Things are so much easier. There's still the possibility of pain but it's tolerable, quicker and probably more worth it than you think. I've learned this [probably the hard way]. Thank you Matsugi for being straight up. It's been an excellent month indeed!
