I'm Like A Turtle
(Random turtle that my family brought in from outside our house in the front yard and it's been living with us for weeks now)
I'm like this turtle that likes to hide in his shell. I would consider myself shy and not the type to take the initiative if it came to dating. Also when it comes to women, I think I would be slow to understand how they feel or what they were thinking hence the reference to the turtle.
Honestly, I'm someone that doesn't go out too often unless for an occasion or the rare moments where I actually planned something. Based on this and my turtle like characteristics which I mentioned before, if it came to a woman asking me out or me asking them out in person, I would much prefer the woman to ask me out.
We are in different times now than in the past where woman now are more empowered and treated better and equally to men; I don't see a problem with a woman asking a guy out. Even though it's against the social norms, traditions, etc in some countries, I don't think it should be frowned upon. Everyone has the right to love and chase someone they like so why can't a woman ask a guy out if she's interested in him.
A woman asking me out has never happened to me in person and it would be a low chance of happening since I'm in an Asian country. I think in Asian countries it's still leaning towards men to make the first move from my experience. It's all good though because I'm still working, trying & learning new things and figuring out what I want for the rest of my life and hopefully along the way I meet someone that wants me in their life as their partner for life.
It was a short writeup this week but I hope I was able to justify why I would prefer a woman to ask me out. Feel free to drop down in the comments below what you think and we can have a friendly discussion.
Thank you so much if you made it to the end and I hope you all have a great weekend!
Same. In the past I used to go watch basketball with my dad. But now I don't even go there. I can't remember the last time I went to watch basketball. Few times relatives offered me a ticket but I still declined.
ooooo i used to play sports but not so much now so I guess it's similar :P. in the past is how many years ago? Maybe when you were younger you were ok with it but now that you're older you have too many other things that you would rather do?
My dad died in 2014. After that I only went few times. I don't drive a car. And late in the night only a few buses drive home. Besides at home I can go to sleep right after the game so that is nice.
ok fair enough x.x home is always good lol
Times have changed and maybe that daring girl will come into your life who will take you out of the ordinary and dare to conquer you 😊
O.O woah lol the way you word it now im scared
Well, here on the blockchain you're not a turtle at all in my view. You definitely have the ability to engage with others in meaningful ways, with your thoughtful comments and questions.
If you applied some of that confidence to your general life, I'm sure women would pick up on it soon enough. Just my two cents anyway :)
lol well here is different. I think it's normal for introverts to be more extroverted in online and texting but when it comes to real life we really are quiet :P
I get your point, but I also do believe the two worlds are more connected than you think.
If it makes sense to you, I invite you to try the following sometime; Notice your experience in a situation where you feel comfortable, confident and having fun. For instance when you're engagin on Hive. Pay attention to you general state, your surroundings and simply how great it is to be you. Then come up with a private signal for youself as an "anchor"/reminder for that particular situation - it can be anything, like picturing a symbol, pinching yourself, simply thinking back on the situation or whatever. Then, when you're out in the real world and things maybe aren't that great, use that signal to remind yourself of your experience when it was, and notice how it affects your state in that completely different situation.
Sounds stupidly simple, but a technique like this can actually be quite powerful.
O.O woah you think so deep lol. I mean I can see the connection but I still think im quite different when online vs offline but it also depends on the setting and stuff @_@
People love turtles too.
This line made me smile and know you'll be fine and that things will happen for you. You seem like an intelligent and thoughtful person with a good sense of humour and you will find what you're looking for exactly when it's supposed to happen.

Haha well ya they do love turtles I guess. My sisters and stepmom are crazy about this turtle and always fighting for it sometimes.
Thank you for your kind words. I think I will be fine too; still breathing and no health issues :'). Not yet at my mid life crisis, still in the wandering stage. I also hope I find what I'm looking for~
You have a great rest of your weekend! Thank you for taking your time to read my post
