Spring Break
Dear Christian, - Kiss and tell
Christian Rose
Issue date: 10/13/08 Section: Culture
What this does not mean is you behave in a way that demeans you by acting like a tramp. Rather, accept those gracious invitations which are so hard for the Bubbas of the world to initiate. Worst case scenario, you end up with a little more experience than you had before, and I am a big believer that practice makes perfect.
I will let you in on a little secret that has taken me years to discover: the self esteem of Bubba is fragile and well-protected. Be kind and always mindful of this fact. You can use this to your advantage should the relationship progress.
This brings me to my latest date this week. It was actually a second date, and we were celebrating my new job as a writer for a new magazine. Browsing through the advanced copy of my column, I batted my eyes and humorously advised that I was kind of a "big deal." In response, my date told me it was a very narcissistic thing to say and not very attractive.
Dearest hearts, I do not think of myself as an egomaniac and the comment was meant to be light-hearted and flirty.
In dating, it is easy to recognize the signs that someone is not right for you; the subtle nuances prove to be more difficult.
You are too precious to be with anyone that does know how amazing you are and doesn't try to shout it from the rooftops. I want your someone to be so wrapped up and tangled into you that they see the moon rise and set in your eyes.
Dearest, be on the look-out for the signs and never settle for less than the moon.
Ever yours, Christian
