What's YOUR weakness when it comes to the opposite gender?

I've gotten so used to past bf's taking loyalty & commitment for granted & rarely having eye contact (after that 1st 6-mo period, when they knew they had me & gave up... their challenge was over, I guess), 'til the day I've had enough & am packing to leave... then suddenly, flowers, eye contact with puppy eyes & attention.
Too late, ya dud... you had < fill in the blank > months/yrs to do all that & didn't. Suddenly, one pink Anne Klein heel is out the door with my last box of steak knives & white tea towels & now you want to have deep meaningful engagement, rather than your usual lying about like an elderly canine, watching Star Trek reruns for the 100th time this year? Ah, nah, no, not again.
I was at the market 2-days ago & some random dude asked me a question in the produce isle with prolonged, direct eye contact. I was so unnerved, I almost bolted like a frightened deer on my untanned getaway sticks. Now, I realize many of us have been shut-in for over 1-yr... & admittedly, as an introvert who isn't usually comfortable with creatures of the human persuasion, it's not hard for me to feel off-kilter, even just shopping... but, I forgot that there are others besides me who try to be present.
My only thought was... is that how normal men interact with normal women? That hadn't happened to me in 1, 2, 3, ah lots of years.
The last time I had direct eye contact like that with a man, was the day I left my ex-bf to move from CO to CA, more than a few yrs ago... & he was trying to convince me to stay, with flowers (partially wilted, filler flowers on sale from the supermarket), handwritten love notes tucked into my packed belongings, saying my name (gee, when was the last time I'd heard that... ah, months, a year, from my mum?) & intense, big, round puppy eyes. My only thought then was... how meaningless, with your wilted flowers.
Engagement is intoxicating, when it's meaningful. I don't like people to think they have no meaning. A tiny bit of engagement goes a long way, especially to a shy, quiet introvert like me.
Now, is that so hard?
You’re a piece of furniture until you leave.
I would like to be an end-table.
No.
Wait.
A Recliner.... yeah, a Recliner.
Would that cactus be considered furniture? If so, I'd want to be that, all prickly and spiny. Like get away from me and leave me alone.
I should've placed engagement nearer to the top of my list way back when, instead of cool and hippyish.
The fact TV and cigarettes were his life back then....don't know what made me think I could change him.
Trust me people, if you think you can change someone to be who you'd like them to be for you, stomp that notion right into the ground. Right now.5 -
@ReenieHJ Good advice! But aren't those guys that never change the most attractive? If I have one weakness when it comes to the opposite sex it's guys who are confident and know who they are and would never change for me or anyone. I think the problem, for me, when I was younger was that I'd fall for a guy and try to fit into his life however I could, and didn't worry about anything else. I didn't know or care what I needed in a relationship, just that I was all about that particular man, haha...

When she’s confident and assertive; when she’s right and knows it she’s forceful about it.
People can be wrong. Hell, I was wrong once. But but when lil’ gal calls me out about it everything seems to get back on track and life can go back to lovin’ life and livin’ the dream.
Never, absolutely never, bottle things up. Please.6 -

Shut up and quit bragging. You KNOW you were never wrong.1 -
Eyes! I always go straight to eyes. Then a nice smile.
I’m a sucker for a nice booty😂
Personality and humor is a must. You can be gorgeous but if you’re stuck up, high maintenance, and can’t hold a decent conversation… see ya!!! I like a girl who can get dolled up when it’s fancy time, but looks super cute with her hair pulled up and down to go fourwheeling, camping, etc.5 -
Yeah it could happen 😄1 -

Lie, it's something else 😉1 -
When I walk up to the seafood counter at the market and assume I'll need to order things like frog legs or alligator and the young lady is like, neigh neigh moose breath, we have that right here. And we strike up a conversation about nothing in particular but it's still interesting. And she makes an exception for me without me asking and separates things shes not supposed to. For example I don't need 5# of crawfish or 10 oysters so she yanks out just what I need and only charges me for those then gives me a discount.
She was so sweet.
Tomorrows dinner is gonna be spectacular.

So what does this reveal?
You are a sweetie and you can hide your face behind that camera but I’m pretty sure you’re a chick magnet. ☺️😂4 -

I've eaten frog legs fried over a fire in a cast iron pan an hour after they were still jumping round the bayou. Not much better than that.4
