Scaring her off
I don’t worship at the Church of Oprah or anything, but sometimes her shows really fascinate me. For example, yesterday she had a security expert on to talk about ways women could look for signs of potentially dangerous men. He even developed an assessment tool that can be used to determine “how much of a threat” an abusive person could be, called MOSAIC:
I can understand the need to find out this kind of thing. Especially if domestic violence is involved. It made me think about how a lot of us don’t listen to our instincts and intuition. Sometimes we are oblivious to what we project in our behavior.
In my experiences, some men don’t always know how they come across to women. There are many ways that a guy can scare a woman off when he is trying to do the opposite. Ladies, what type of behaviors do some men have that tend to scare you away? Have you ever told a guy why he torpedoed any chances of dating you because of something that really bothered you?
Guys, have you ever met a great woman and scared her off with something you did? Was it intentional? Can you tell when your behavior has been perceived in a negative way by a woman? Do you try to explain it or do you cut your losses and keep it moving?
Happy Friday!

I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings 9 times & goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone & run away?
This made me laugh but has nothing to do with anything discussed here today.
All you youngins are too old for freaknik….stay away!
Nite nite!

Yes there is. I got introduced to a whole other side of the blog today via email, people need to be happy and I am a peacemaker(more smiles than anything else over here everyday). You do not like my parting words?

Well Carlito I hate to hear that, but it is normal I had the same experience. Nope, there is nothing wrong with your words I was just wondering why you had them on repeat.

“You do not like my parting words?”
This sounds Italian, Spanish, or even Greek. It really sounds like it’s coming from the Mob!

Professor, If I were open and honest I would say one day I think me and my girl will try that. But I would never type that were I could not delete it.
Leggs, I am already “there” and buzzing. LOL. I did not mean it to sound that way. “Let me make an you an offer you can not refuse” LOL I am not good at the mafia quotes. Italian Trivia: Did you know the word “mob” or “la cosa nostra” was never mention in any of the Godfather movies?
