This makes sense, because while dating I don't want to spell myself out quickly. I think I do spill non-verbal cues and if he senses it, he does, if he does not: I am still happy in a flirty date way. I realize this is not entirely fair to the date but I am sure when I become interested in a second or third go round: I will make a better effort to pour the communication verbally and non verbally.Or at least work on your non-verbal cues.
Your passiveness could be taken as disinterest or even coldness. Guys aren't psychic, and unless you meet him online or have some sort of prior discussions indicating what you want to get out of the relationship, he may not keep pushing if he doesn't feel like it's working for both of you.
I am not so demanding. The fact is: I am dating and not in a relationship. I do say what I want: as in 'I want spaghetti.' That is a start.You are kind.
I have no patience with people who demand psychic abilities and test me with them. Saying what you want *is* a naked, one-down position. If you can't do that, you won't do the rest of what I want.
It does take time, especially since the underlying fact is: It is a date, we don't really know each other. My last lover called me a freak, and even the man I just dated said my mind is 'exhausting' him but refuses to reject me; instead I think he is bent on changing me, which I have concluded from conversations and words from him: 'You don't really want that.' So he is slapping me because he wants to please me, while I feel that he might be uncomfortable doing that. Now I feel like I am using him.i think being able to open up that box of craziness that is in your brain is one of the ultimate acts of submission. you are completely vulnerable at that moment for either being accepted or rejected as you are. for me, it takes time to get there, and being apprehensive about sharing could be taken as being guarded. letting bits of pieces out at a time, gives you a chance to gage his reaction. if there is chemistry, the rest should take care of itself, as long as you don't self sabotage.
Guarded! I like the word. It reminds me of work.
