Today was my first day at my new job. I don’t plan on talking about it much here in the future. Just know that it is going very well, but my posts will probably be later in the evening than usual.
As a follow up to Jonathan’s post, I am starting to learn some tips about how to read body language. It might sound lame to some of you to need to resolve to reading a book to learn this sort of thing, but keep in mind that I never dated before Jonathan and I was never the aggressor in that type of situation. I think I’m learning a lot and we’ll probably try to see if it is working when we go out later this week.
I think the experience has really soured my mood toward sex and women in general for the moment. Though I know that it will not last, it’s hard to think about wanting to try again. Maybe I need some nice strippers to cheer me up a bit. I don’t want to let this get me down, I have a lot of positives in my life right now, but I can’t help feeling a little dejected.
There are a couple of cuties where I work. I’m sure I’ll get to know them over the course of my stay at this job. Maybe by the time my studies are finished, I’ll even be able to tell whether or not they like me. It’s hard to flirt at work though because I have to wear suits and they make me feel old.
I have a lot I have to get done this week for the art show this weekend. I have nearly 80 new items to take. So, it should be quite a good show. I’m looking forward to it. However, I need to cut this short to work on some more things for it. Hopefully, I’ll be in better spirits and able to write more on Wed.

I have no idea bout body language either, but it’s good to learn. I usually go by how people behave, which is probably a form of body language in itself, and their intentions. Where they intend to take things, or something like that. Facial expression is also important, and keep an eye on the hands … And if you could, I’d love a recommendation on a good book so I can learn something new too!
Things will pick up. I’ll keep you in my head.
Hi Brandie,
That was one of the problems. She didn’t give any signals that I picked up on. She sat beside me, but didn’t look at me, she didn’t try to talk a lot because she knew as much English as I did Spanish and she didn’t make any overt moves.
One of the things I’ve learned from the book I’m reading, is that different cultures have different cues for letting someone know they like them. In this case, her telling Jonathan that she thought I was beautiful and then not moving away from me should have been taken as a sign. However, I didn’t know that I was supposed to move in for a kiss by her actions. She was shy and came from a very different background, so that complicated matters.
Thank you for the comment. I’ll probably do a review on the book when I finish reading it.
