It's hard being me and kind of funny for a woman and then not being understood in written word. For example my latest post on Girl Game was totally tongue in cheek in regards to a list I wrote for women hoping to be mysterious to their potential ltr men.
This list cracks me up:
ü Wear lots of vintage pieces
ü
Read a great deal – classics like the Janes (Austin and Eyre)
ü
Go for things with darker sides – poets are mysterious
ü
Wear a shade lighter foundation
ü
Try to have a slight smile on your face but just a small one
ü
Put just a little information about yourself on social network sites – see how little you can put
ü
Make your room mysterious – like put scarves over lamps and stuff
Yet! Some people thought I was being sincere. Come on. Am I that stupid sounding? Really?
Mind you in a recent text convo with my newest prospect I tried being flirty and failed.
Him: (we were introduced by our hair stylist). So Michelle says hi. I have some gossip to tell you but you'll have to wait until we get together. Is that torture?
Me: I like to wait.
Loaded right? Nope. Total flirt opening I gave him.
Him: That's not like most women I know. My sisters can't stand when I don't tell them stuff and they're pathetic at keeping secrets.
Me: I guess I like anticipation. But don't get me wrong I will have a guess.
Him: It's not that big a deal but it will give us something to talk about.
Perhaps it wasn't a 'my fail' but a 'his fail'.
Thoughts?
