BATTLE FOR THE SKIRT

Hello Gals,
So for those who wanted the dets on my Internet date last night, he cancelled. I was very relieved. When I played tennis as a child, I would remember feeling so happy when the opponent 'defaulted'. That is how it feels to me when an Internet date cancels. So last night, I just stayed in and had the blues. I felt love starved and drama starved. I texted a guy on my porch, my #1 contender, by mistake. And he took 3hours to text me back. During those 3 hours, I reevaluated my entire being. I think relationships and especially dating was so much easier with just one mode of communicating-the telephone. Remember, when we would get so excited when that little red button on the answering machine was flashing. We would listen to our messages and get so bummed if our crush didn't leave a message. That sucked, but now you can get rejected via phone, text, face book, email, im, and the list continues. That is why I can't initiate communication unless I know they're whipped. Otherwise, it's just excruciating.

So my #1 texts me, but doesn't ask me out. His last text said he wanted to see me, but he makes no mention of it last night. He initiates a text today and I wait for him to ask me out. Again, no mention of it. This, my girls, is what I term THE BATTLE FOR THE SKIRT. He is trying to out girl me. He is being all cute and coy and come hither. But no, that's not going to work. I refuse to be the man and ask him out. Now way. I was sooo determined to teach myself to stop pursuing men, that I called last summer, 'The Battle of the Skirt' and I wore a skirt every day of the summer to remind myself, that I was the girl. At the end of the summer, I had worn all but skirts, but was, alas, without a boyfriend.

The problem is that the women of LA have trained the men to be girls. The men have no hunting skills. They are waiting for us to call, text and ask them out. Especially guys under 35, don't get me started. They don't know how to court. They have been so spoiled by the masculine women of their generation, that all they know how to do is hang out. They invite you over to their house and if you even suggest going out on a proper date, they are so confused. I met this 32 year old Entertainment exec at a Halloween party. He texted me the next morning, "We are going to date." Then he invited me to some sports bars with a big group of his beer swilling friends. Next, he stepped it up and invited me over to his house in the Hollywood Hills to some football parties. He, then, asked me to come over and 'watch a movie'. We all know what that's code for, right, girls? And I suggested we meet out of his house, as in a public place. He said he is "only 32 and we have different lifestyles'.

Girls, the guys who aren't willing to court (to seek another's love; woo) are just a waste of your precious time. Stop giving away the farm. If you give them sex right away, they will cherish you less down the road. I mean, think of something in your life you had to work really hard for, like a degree, getting in shape, finding the right condo. When you did reach that goal, you valued it that much more. Men are the same way with us. They will love the woman who gives them sex right away. They may even marry her. But they won't value her. They won't cherish (to care for tenderly; nurture)her feelings. And if you get a man to marry you using the HAIL MARY close you are SOL (shit out of luck) when it comes to being cherished. The Hail Mary close is when a woman can't get a man to propose using her feminine wiles, so she gets pregnant. If the man is a stand up guy, he does the right thing and marries her, but spends the rest of his life feeling resentful and trapped. Those are the married men who cheat. More on that later.

Sweet dreams, beauties!
