You Drive Me Craaaa-zy

Two posts in one night, clearly I must be bored in a hotel room with nothing else to do!

It has been brought to my attention that I haven't followed up on some of my recent rants on the men (or lack thereof) in my life. That would mostly be because it turns out that 3 of the 4 guys I posted about recently, that I didn't think read this, all do in fact read this. Making it rather complicated to talk about them too openly.

But I can talk about them in obtuse reference!

Here's my thing right now. There is one guy that sends all the right signals, makes me feel great, and well, is close to my kind of perfect. That is, he's all those things when he's around. He's just not around enough. Which is why there is still so much room for other guys these days. The next guy is so afraid of commitment it's funny. A friend recently described it as the "rubberband effect." And that truly defines this guy. Every time I start to pull away, he comes zooming right in on me. He always/only wants the thing(s) he can't have. Which all pretty much drives me crazy.

To put it mildly, I just don't get it. These are both great guys. The kind of great guys that actually make me wonder what it is they are doing with me. One of them likes me even more when I make it point blank obvious that I'm his. The other one likes me better when I'm anything but available to him. All of this juggling of how to act and with who, is getting old. (Don't tell me to just be myself. I am.) Why can't it just be a simple exchange of conversation, body language, innuendo, and honest feeling? Why must dating involve so much strategy?
