By the way...

I am pleased with how I handled my first encounter with a single woman. I keep pondering my assessment process, her answers, my toying and hers, and the results. Though I should come clean about something, as I figured it out more fully.

About 90% of what was said, perceived, and repeated to check... was waste material, if necessary. To get to the meat of the matter, both of us tried to shift, push, pull, and hold the keys. I thought she was rather easy to control, and I handed her the keys just to see which doors she would unlock. Her age, in truth, has nothing to do with my rejection. A 25 year old woman would do quite well. What I was looking for was her capacity and interest in being domestic, having children, and what kind of a partner she would be.

Admittedly, what she said though somewhat connected to how she said it and some of what she said, was pretty much struck out. I listen very little to what a woman says so much as how she stands, what her hands are doing, and whether I sense she is telling the truth. She came out well on the truth score, though I can tell she is a heavy fibber (a bad trait native to women, but exacerbated with her last guy, she dated/lived with for 6 years). I do believe she is not interested in children, she wants to play. She is not really into the domestic scene, she wants to have fun. And she is not so interested in more than flirting or modern dating. Of course, all of these things can be changed, but my final assessment is that this would be too much work.

If she had expressed disinterest, but two or three of these had been positive toward my ends, I would have attempted to negotiate. If I see the right woman and she verbally says the wrong things, that is simply... a lure. Or is that the hook? Never listen to an available women who naysays the notion of a closer relationship solely based on what she verbally says. Same with accepting a woman based on a verbal assessment. I give myself a decent grade on this. If I am wrong, I am on the right track and will improve.
