I'm going to assume you mean in a flirting manner. In that case, no. But if you are refering to life in general, yes, all the time. I've been told on more than one occasion I have a rather abrupt manner.

Yeah...all the time.
I don't think I've learned the art of the playful flirt. It always seems like I charge in like Godzilla.
Oh well..one day it'll work for me, huh?

All I need are willing and playful subjects who just might succumb to a guy's winsome charms.

All the time. I have done it at least twice that I know of (the people actually told me that), and I suspect other times this has been a factor in people backing away.Cath! said:
Not so much at first when I am getting to know someone, but once I feel comfortable with them then I just plunge in and that too often has scared people away. I try to be willing to take things at a speed that is within other's comfort zone, but I think people percieve me as pushing the enevlope and that makes them uncomfortable.

Never knew how to play "hard to get". In my teens I always came on like a hound dog pup chasing a butterfly. Those who have seen that or have a good imagination know just how goofy that is. Had finally gotten over that to some degree and was into my jaded "love em and leave em" phase in college when s/o snared me. Never knew what hit me.

Here, on the boards, I probably have, but in RL no, I'm too dam shy to come on at all unless I've had a couple drinks, and since I can't drink anymore....

In RL, yes. I've been told I intimidate people and sometimes they are afraid of me because of it. I've had to work on that - hard. It affected my career initially, but I think I've gotten past it.
In RL as far as relationships go? Not a chance. I'm the shy one, not pushy at all.
Here? I don't know. I usually wait for people to approach me in a PM or email. Only recently have I sent PMs to people I didn't really know to strike up conversations with them. I don't think I've been too pushy. At least I don't think I've sent anyone running for the hills.

I have taken a few risks when I was not certain the object of my desire was interested. This has happened on at least two occasions when I was much younger. I was trying to explore my bi-sexuality at the time and tried to get two very straight women to entertain the idea of expanding there horizons. On these two occasions I was shot down and on one I lost a fledgling friendship because of it. I learned as I grew older to hone my gaydar. I don't seem to have that problem any longer.

No - I thought maybe you were mad at me for explaining to you at length why I wouldn't post again anytime soon, then starting to post again two days later!Cheyenne said:
Ya nut! Have I told you yet how nice it is to see you posting again?
Seriously, I suspect in the near future I will only be posting on weekends as I think I am going to get a job offer next week, and I think I will accept it as I like what I would be doing. My savings are running low, the stock market hasn't bounced back enough for me to consider selling any stock, and while I have a standing job offer in California (my brother owns a DP company down there), I want to stay where I am for now.
