Bob, While I was reading your Love Diares, I came across three questions that you wanted answers to. . . Aww, answer three questions to a man that's given me reading/masturbating material for so long? Good deal. I hope that these questions can help you sort out the minds of those ladies near you. 1) Would you smile at a guy walking down the street that you wouldn't want to approach you? Answer: No. I'd just look straight down. Generally, people smile when they're interested, and if I wasn't, I'm not doing anything to confuse being interested and not.

2) Would you touch a guy during a conversation that you weren't interested in? Answer: If it were to give him a high five or engage in a "thumb war," then maybe. Otherwise, no. I can complete a conversation without making physical contact.

3) Would you start up a conversation with a guy sitting next to you if you weren't interested? Answer: If he were wearing something of someone or something that I liked, then I'd compliment him. I wouldn't, however, make conversation with someone (Especially if I'm uninterested) for no damn reason.

Bob is a fucking sexy bitch.

1) Would you smile at a guy walking down the street that you wouldn't want to approach you? Damn straight I would. If they approach me, so whut. These days, I dunt care who approaches meh. It's also rare that they'll freak me out unless they fall into the category of stalkah, then I'll be mean and say scram. If they dunt, the beatin-bar makes it's first appearence. But otherwise i'll be supah nice^_~. 2) Would you touch a guy during a conversation that you weren't interested in? Dependin' on what kinda convo. I frequently touch people I'm not interested in if it'sa friendly jokey sorta convo, which gives meh the cue to jump, grope, and annoy. If it's serious, then forget it. Peoplez get the wrong ideas.

3) Would you start up a conversation with a guy sitting next to you if you weren't interested? I'd prolly do that, tuu. If I'm bored, I'll talk ta anywun. The majority of people I talk ta, I'm nut interested in. That jest makes things more complicated, and that's no damn fun.

So, I saw the little questionairre thingy on your love diaries, and thought hey, why not - you not only look good in horns but you seem to be a very decent human being. Anything to lend a hand in figuring out us weird creatures known as women. Although a word of warning; My mental 'voice' seems to be so male that, online, I'm usually assumed to be male, and if it weren't for the girly high voice and wide hips I have in meatspace, it would doubtless carry on there, too. All the same...

Question #1) *Would you smile at a guy walking down the street that you wouldn't want to approach you? Hell no. If I think the guy is creepy, I'll make enough eye contact to let him know that I know he's there and it would be a Bad Idea to try anything. I will smile at guys I don't think creepy, and if I give them a big goofy grin it's a pretty sure sign I think they're hot.

Question #2) *Would you touch a guy during a conversation that you weren't interested in? Again, hell no. I DO have some big personal space issues to I'm not prone to randomly touching *anyone*. This isn't to say I never do it, but I would never touch someone I wasn't interested in, or was interested in for only a very casual friendship, during a conversation.

Question #3) *Would you start up a conversation with a guy sitting next to you if you weren't interested? Probably not, as small talk pisses me off. What I'm interested in, however, is open to debate - might be the book you're reading, or any body art, or something. However, I don't care how cool your tats are if you look like someone who might knife me (using the general 'you' here, of course).

So, basically, to summerize: I'm not going to approach, or be friendly to, or make much of an effort towards anyone I find creepy or disgusting or boring or somehow hideous. I can't make any claims for whether or not all women are as logical, though.

Confidence is definitely key - something I've noticed and had to work on myself. Something as simple as walking around with good posture and my chin up, projecting that I'm comfortable in my own skin, works wonders.

And as a parting note: I've noticed most women have absolutely horrid taste in partners and will often overlook the intelligent, caring, good guys in favour for ones that... that... well, hell if I know. The oens that give them status, somehow, I guess, as a lot of perfectly intelligent young woman go out with the stupidest excuses for human beings... *ahem* But I digress. I know it isn't terribly comforting, but a lot of times, it isn't so much oneself as that other people can really be fucked up (I mean, that whole "I can't go out with you, you're too good a friend" thing - WTF? Going out with friends, one knows what one is getting into, and they already know they like the person - but somehow, some random jerk that has the brains of a slug is somehow better. OKAY!).

Whoa, this is turning into a novel. Anyhow - best of luck to you, sir, in finding a fulfilling relationship. You seem to deserve it, and I hope you encounter and hook up with someone who deserves you.

Peace, Ren

Please, oh please, write more in your love diaries! I am aching to know more. For example, how did you lose your virginity (you did lose it, right)? I check back every day and still there are no new entries. Will you write more if I answer your questions? You see, the thing is, I1m a lesbian so my answers may not help you much. But I1ll give it a try if it will increase my chances of reading more incredibly witty prose about your fascinating love life.. #1 Would I smile at a guy on the street whom I wouldn't want to approach? Yes, I would. In fact I always do. But, I smile at most people on the street. Maybe it1s different in New York.

#2 Would I touch a guy in a conversation who I wasn't interested in? No. Never.

#3 Would I start up a conversation with a guy sitting next to me if I wasn't interested? Again, no I would not. I probably would not even notice that there was a guy sitting next to me.

I hope that helped. Thank you so much for your wonderful site. You1ve made the world a better place.
