Be bold, motherfuckers. 2

Many of you have known me for a long time. I haven't had any romantic interest (above that of the flesh) in anyone in a few years now. Given my perspective on dating, my selection criteria, and my geographic location, the number of women I come across that check all the boxes is pretty slim.
Recently, I came across a woman that I was just smitten with. All the right personality traits. All the right quarks and priorities. Genuine and smart and driven, you know, a good woman. Plus, I'm physically attracted to her, which is a great bonus.
She's dating someone.
So I told her to dump him and marry me. My tone walked the line between blatant facetiousness and literal application. The words said "dump him and marry me". The voice said "dump him and get to know me". The (socially required) attempt to cast my comment as a joke-in-passing was met with some reinforcing comment.
Basically, I didn't let it turn into one of those "oh i liked this person but i never let them know" kind of things.
Because I'm done with that bullshit, and so should you be. I'm a grown ass man, and I want what I want.

I don't have a question. Are you operating under the impression that everyone who posts in this forum has some question? You shouldn't do that.

No, but usually open minds always have some degree of 'question'.. in all honesty what I asked was just a rhetorical noise, to keep you talking.. to see, where you go..

Baddass sig memes. Well at least I actually met you at DJ, next time I'll try to stick around. I got fucked up!! Tripped my ass off, found someone with some balloons, traded him a hit and ended up doing like 5 balloons before going in. Then I ate a kpin around when jimmy cliff came on and dont remeber much else. I lost my wallet there with a half sheet!!! Woops....Anyway, next show, we should meet up before hand.I love the sig!

Yea that shit was crazy. I ran into this chick on the way to the bathroom and she kissed a rock of mdma onto my tounge and told me she had a quilt for the darkness.. I followed and we played nintendo powered off two potatos and a lemon.. when I woke up she was gone, but all my shit was still there... mad, flipped my mental bro.. Anyways hit me up man, we'll do it all over again..

the pic isn't my sig, just a sign-off for the OP. speaks to the passing nature of life, and how one shouldn't let people wander by just because you're shy or don't want to disrupt a social norm or some shit.
carpe diem and all that

aren't you scared or worried that her man will come after you? trying to make a move on an attached woman like that.

I do that too... It doesn't work for me. Now I'm beginning to think there is something in my subconscious blocking me from attracting available men. Every one i fall for seems to want nothing but a fuck buddy. Even if i dont have sex with them. Ive determined that one day I will meet someone who views things the same as I. My twin flame, soul mate, what have you. I'm seriously to the point to where, I give up looking. If I'm meant to be in a romantic relationship, he will come to me.

I actually read somewhere that when you are subconsciously not available for a true loving relationship, you will actually draw in ones who are unavailable, or scare off potential. I'm going with that.

no.
what's he going to do? fight me? we're not children. this isn't the boonies. i live in DC. It's not like i'm stalking her to the bathroom; i told her straight up i was interested. once. putting it out there isn't a cardinal sin-against-the-brotherhood. she's an American, goddamnit. if she doesn't like him, she'll dump him and pursue me. if she likes him, she'll ignore me.
that's where it is.
the point of this thread is: she didnt know i had any interest at all until I told her. so, i told her. where i typically never would in the past (like many shroomerites, i'm sure)

stoked to hear it buddy.
good work not being shy and letting that shit slip by. as easy as it is to say right now at my desk that i would do the same, it's even easier to come up with excuses not to.
go get her tiger

This really just baffles me, because I've always told them, and its never worked. Now I'm doing the opposite, which is what you've done. But honestly... Just because it didn't work for her doesn't mean it won't for the next one. Maybe this one time was just a warm up. Maybe you're ready to date now. Also, something I'm learning as well... Things take time. Change comes with time as well.

Not saying it didnt work with her; it's only been a few days. Like i mentioned, i don't meet a lot of women who I see a lot of long-term potential with, so it's not like I'll be off the market if she realizes weeks or months down the road that she has an interest in picking up what i'm throwin down.
it's all about full & open information. always. just throw it all out there, let the chips fall where they may~
