Boys

Sometimes I wonder if I am even more confusing to boys than I think most of them are. I mean, it took *me* a couple years to sort of understand myself so why would I expect anyone I meet to do it.

Also, I like my job again today.

why would I expect anyone I meet to do it.

a) to fill some deep seeded desire to figure out something more confusing than the London Underground station map?
b) because it's more fun than surgery
c) cuz house is on re-runs for the summer
d) because the aliens to me to

I haven't tried to get into your brain (honestly, last couple times I tried to get into a woman's brain burned me badly), but from my vantage point at present, you don't seem confusing. A bit reserved, but not confusing.

That is because you haven't tried to date me. I am pretty sure I give off a good amount of mixed signals.

YES! Now you're almost perfect.

This Saturday will mark my 11th anniversary with Jackie. We dated for 3 years before that. We're still figuring each other out.

I was sitting at meetings today a little bored and thinking about dating and all of a sudden it hit me that finding someone that I understand isn't going to happen because if I keep changing so will whoever I date. Ok, that still doesn't put into words the moment of clarity I had.

Yes.

isn't it how one day you realize that you are just as confusing to other people as they are to you?

I'm just saying, men don't understand women any more than women understand men (;

Honestly, nobody really 'understands' anyone. It's harder to notice with just friends because you don't get as close or as intimate as when you're in that kind of relationship. I mean, the closer you get to someone, the more you both get to see the crazy. I mean, uh. The how well you know each other's uniqueness. Yeah, that's it.
