With respect to OM, she was the one who crossed the line, not him.
Meaning - she knew she could not communicate her needs to me so she went in a "safe" direction to fulfill her needs.
Realizing that laws of attraction are at play here was the thing that opened my eyes to the idea of - who would be attracted to these traits and experiences....seriously, they are not attractive to me and I was the one exhibiting the traits and experiences.
Call it as it is - its behaviour very unbecoming to being attractive.
Detach Self-Inventory Realization that there are some poor habits at play Self Actualization that I can correct some issues Rinse, repeat a few more time
Let air dry on the line and be patient.
This is going to be fun.....like teaching your child how to ride a bike bringing back memories of someone teaching you how to ride a bike type of fun.
Simply put....
Focus on the negative and continue exhibiting unattractive, dependent behaviour
or
Focus on the positive and design a new series of habits and routines which foster independent behaviour.
Choose the former and you are just a guy while choosing the latter puts you into the man category.
As I saw during my first day here, "the world is full of guys, be a man - don't be a guy.
