Stolen Glances

Welcome, welcome, welcome!  I guess I should start by giving you somewhat of a rundown as to what this blog is intended to be but that would be the cordial thing to do and that's not how shit works here so I'm just going to ramble and you can take whatever you deem important and move it from your short term memory to your long term memory right next to all your sex dos and don't and drunken nights you wish you had blacked out for.

We're 21 year old women. I use the term "women" loosely because we aren't WOMEN. We're really only nearly adults with baggage that can sink a content but are way over the blah, blah, blah days of adolescence to be "young ladies". If anyone does end up reading this, please feel free to comment or ask questions.  I just received a text informing me that B already posted so I'll just go into what I have to say because let's be real, that's what really matters.

Today, a thing, that I'm sure happens to a lot of women because this isn't the first time it's happened to me, happened. STOLEN GLANCES.  You know what I'm talking about.  Those looks that two mutually attracted people exchange from across a room and according to all those romance novels and rom coms that exist lead to the perfect meeting and a love that will last for a lifetime. Let's zoom back to reality because that shit is exactly what I say it is, shit.  So I was having dinner with my roommate, Macy Leary, nomming away at some yummy spicy tuna when out of the corner of my eye I see a table full of male jocks, I go to a D1 school so this is a common occurrence.  This was different though because when I looked over he and I made eye contact and you know that almost head nod of a potential that makes you feel a touch intrigued while your insides are screaming "play aloof!", well those were exchanged.  He was of course my type and of course a bit out of my league.  He was obviously the type that knew he was a hot commodity and therefore doesn't really try.  So I spent my dinner looking over in his direction and every so often caught him looking at me.  I went so far as to start eating my cantaloupe seductively hoping he would watch and be somewhat enticed.  In the end, I finished my cantaloupe, threw out my trash, and left.  This my darlings is real life that's why I never pay 10 bucks to watch a lie.  I still watch but I never pay.  A girl needs to know how to spread her wealth or lack of.

Now I want to know why this happens.  Why do men do this?  Why does it seem that in order to actually get a man to DO something a woman has to do something first.  Don't give me any of that "ladies first" bs and think that it applies to this situation because it absolutely doesn't.  In the matters of the heart a hit and quit it a man's gotta make the move.  Let's face the facts, stolen glances lead to hot and steamy bumping uglies not a lifetime of loving each other.  I'm not saying that women shouldn't be assertive and not make any moves.  I'm pro ladies prowling and pouncing but when a women puts in the effort to give the head nod then the guy should put in the effort to move to the next step or gesture.  Flirting, if stolen glances count, is a two way street.  If not, you're both going home to empty beds and your own ways to getting off.

BOTTOM LINE: men need to learn to DO something or else they'll be getting a whole lot of NOTHING
