Now I'm Walking Away Part 2

Linux servers?

[pookie69]

Are you on the alt, Pookie?

I am a paranoid computer geek.

Alt is not in my comfort zone.

[pinhead]

Yeah, we use a mix of RHEL and AIX (ugh) in addition to all the Windows boxes the other weenies manage.

Paranoia is good. At home, I'm so paranoid, I have my own OBSD firewall.

But yet you are on alt.

Skype is as far as I've gone.

I'm not worried about a throwaway account. I don't post anything too incriminating.

So Pookie, how would you lead?

[pookie69]

So Pookie, how would you lead?

By figuring out what turns her on.

If it is a Mariachi band, I would order it immediately.



If it is Josh Groban, I would by tickets.



Weekend getaway trip? Day at the spa for her? New socket wrench set?

You know her better than anyone. What brings a smile to her face. Do something out of character. Surprise her.

Knit a tablecloth, cook a dinner naked...

Let her see a little bit of your mysterious secrets of GAL.

Sounds suspiciously like pursuing. And everyone knows that I'm an expert on that.

I think you are past the "no pursuing" phase. You are on "leading" phase. I think there is a difference.

You will give her the option to follow you and be ready for the case she won't.

Then try something else. Find that attraction button.

She shows signs that she wants to find it too.

She ML to you, but thinks that kissing is too intimate.

What does it takes to change that and add intimacy she seeks?

I think it was Coach who said that it's like the dog who has been chasing a squirrel, finally caught it and now does not know what to do with it.
