Assuming you're initially attracted to them, what are some things women do that make you stop seeing them as romantic potential and start seeing them as more of a "buddy"?

Physical attraction is very strong for me. It is really difficult for that to go away. Even a chick who is drunken mess, and spewing everywhere is quickly forgotten when she glamours herself up the next time I see her.

Romantic attraction though is probably the easiest to fall off, and never forgotten. You simply need to check off one of my pet peeves.

No, you'd just be mentally placed in the 'hump and dump' category...

I don't have time for time-wasters, but would expect some form of compensation for the unnecessary ordeal...

Ah, this is where your assumption has led you to an incorrect conclusion. My punctuality problem stems from doing too much, not too little. So, if I have to be somewhere at noon, I'll wake up early, get my yoga in, do laundry, vacuume, take care of my pets, make sure my special needs brother is ready for school, watch an episode of 'Blue Planet,' listen to my sister's story, finish that chapter on my Kindle, get a jumpstart on the chemistry homework...realize I only have X number of minutes to get to where I need to be. It's one of my shortcomings, for sure "because," most would reason, "why don't you simply
NOT do all of those things? They seem unnecessary." Not to me, though. I'm known for being late simply because I feel inspired to walk and take the scenic, long way.

In any case, this convo is moot because you and I both know we aren't each other's types anyway. I hope you find your dream girl.

I got a headache just to read your morning 😄 😄 I am a female, so no need to worry, but I would run away from a person soooo active like you🙂 🙂
