As someone who's in the military, I usually don't broadcast my RP thoughts. They are usually either well received by the large amount of masculine men (who I usually befriend), or violently rejected by the whipped/government dependant/beta male crowd still living in Lala-land. However, today, an exchange happened that made me think of you all.
I was in another office, assisting my supervisor with an equipment change, when I overheard an acquaintance talking about this guy she had been seeing. As I was friends with the other conversationalist, and my supervisor was done, I walked over to join. She continued talking about a text conversation that they had been having.
Her - "When I asked when he wanted to hang out, he just said sometime this week. I suggested a couple days, but he said he'd let me know..". She looked disappointed.
Me- "He's doing the right thing."
She then gave me an awkward, questioning gaze.
Me- "He's taking control of the situation, being vague, and letting you know when he wants to, on his terms."
Her- "But after he said that, I texted him back, anf he hasn't responded in three days..."
Me- "And yet here you are, talking about him, thinking about him."
She looked at me, realized what I said was right, and with a defeated look, said she hated me (in that playful way girls do when you're right). I then turned around walked out to the (other) acquaintance saying "(my name), he knows how it goes."
Hold your frame. What she thinks she wants isn't usually what she needs. She'll love you for controlling the situation, even if she doesn't admit it.
