Yet there is something sexy about her and can\u2019t put my finger on it. Perhaps her outgoing personality or asian\/exotic looks?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Style-wise, I\u2019ve seen worse, but I wasn\u2019t impressed. Particularly at the fact she wore no make-up and a stained pair of tights! I made a lot of effort to wear nice things, clean my shoes and style my hair, so was gutted she hadn\u2019t presented herself better. Apparently she\u2019s into platform heels! Woulda loved to see her in some! Lol<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The good thing is, she\u2019s bright, fun, light hearted and up-beat. In one way her extroverted ignorance is good because she can\u2019t read my inner insecurities. Hanging around with someone like that would probably do me good to balance me out and learn to effectively communicate with a different type.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Other than being incapable of appreciating her thinking and vice versa, her &#8216;ESTP&#8217; abruptness and spontaneous outbursts are annoying and at times hurtful, even though I know she doesn\u2019t mean to do it. She\u2019s pretty inconsiderate and that\u2019s totally not what I need from a relationship when I\u2019m so insecure and self conscious. Because of her inconsiderate nature, she\u2019s a pretty poor communicator despite the confidence.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Because she\u2019s a do-er and very busy, she\u2019s taken A LOT of action and got good at a lot of things- pro level at sports, music, business, languages and even winning at gambling, making money! It\u2019s SERIOUSLY intimidating and makes me feel like a failure in comparison. What can I do- draw a half decent picture when I put my mind to it?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>From her, and previous dates I learned:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>That I value style and making an effort with one&#8217;s appearance- especially in women.<\/li>\n<li>Femininity is important to me and anything that accentuates and outwardly expresses this is cool\/sexy &#8211; make up, dresses, heels, hand bags, long hair.<\/li>\n<li>However, I dislike girlie or bimbo attitudes. Instead I am MASSIVELY into hot, sexy, feminine\u00a0 girls who love geeky male stuff like video games and scifi. They exist but are exceptionally rare!<\/li>\n<li>I am a great listener, great at making people feel comfortable, have a decent set of social skills and am very considerate, kind and emotionally giving as a person.<\/li>\n<li>I am not like many of these girls ex boyfriends who are described as narcissistic, aggressive, arseholes!<\/li>\n<li>Some personalities don&#8217;t like deep chats, so I don&#8217;t bother having them. I just keep these people as peripheral friends.<\/li>\n<li>I would often make a better boyfriend than they would a girlfriend.<\/li>\n<li>I feel I come across and behave A LOT better than how I think I will be like beforehand.<\/li>\n<li>I need to chill out, be in the moment and concentrate on fun more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meeting people is never a bad thing as I&#8217;m always looking to gain experience in social situations with different types of people and hopefully improve my confidence.
