I just want some tips or ideas you guys think would help me experiment being less predictable, and straight edge.

Naturally, I am a bit predictable. Often play it on the safe side. I’m still fun, and I enjoy it, but I also get the sense people think of me only in a friendly way, and not enough as a threat.

For example, in texting, I get the sense I don’t bring enough tension to it all. As in, I personally feel the conversations run dry. I know that texting shouldn’t be the primary source of communication, but that’s just one example of my predictable ness.

I’m not trying to be inconsistent, but I just feel like I want a bit more balance. I feel like people can predict my moves too easily. And I believe adding a little bit of spontaneity would help. Not an overwhelming amount, but just enough so to keep it interesting.
