It’s still just as scary as the first time. I meet lots of guys. 75% turn me off in the first few minutes with overly aggressive come-ons or just general drunken foolishness. Is it too much to ask for some normal conversation without someone leering at me like a hungry lion? Seems the other 25% are either disinterested or too shy to do something about it. I was always interested in shier guys, just based on the fact that they generally have gentler approaches. In the long run, I would probably be less compatible with someone like that but I just can’t get past the beginning with the rest.

I seem to have this problem in any continent I go to, leading to the thought that it’s actually me that is the problem. I seriously don’t understand how other people get together.

Much time we have spent together. We have been through many life experiences and you have always been there for me. I have learned many things from you and I hope you have taken a bit from me as well.

One thing I must bring up though, one thing I cannot get used to matter how much time I spend here. I’m sorry but it is not polite to stare. I know that I am pretty. I also know that I’m white/red and that my hair is a weird color. But you’ve seen it all before. Can we perhaps move on?

No? well then. Please, as a compromise, give me 5 minutes of peace to brush my teeth before the constant WATCHING begins for the day.
