Lots of good discussion on the forums today.
As for me, had a definite DMSI manifestation.
Was headed to the library to do some printing.
As I'm walking towards the door, I see this HOT Arab woman in a miniskirt and colorful top pacing aimlessly, but slowly.
We noticed each other and she was smiling, a LOT. I smiled back, said "Hey! How are you?"
She said "Good!" but nothing further.
I went inside.
As I'm doing my printing I notice her, she had come into the library (following me?) and we stared at each other for a moment before she broke EC and walked elsewhere.
I finished my printing, then walked out into the building (the library is in a building, so you have to walk through that building before you're in the library).
Sure enough, the woman is out there, still looking aimless.
At this point I feel like she might need help but i didn't want to offer help because I wanted to have sex with her and that would be sleezy (to offer help just because I wanted to sleep with her) so I just went over to where she was.
She smiled again and so did I, she broke EC and went to look at some magazines on a shelf.
I went over there to do the same, attempting to do a hover then open.
She left as soon as I got there.
I watched her reflection in the window and she just walked away so i thought "Oh well, guess that's that"
And walked away. I didn't want to chase, nor did I want to be creepy.
I know you have to risk creepy but I dunno.
I got the feeling maybe she needed help and she would just use her charms to get that help from me then blow me off, if I'm completely honest, that was my main fear.
Anyhow, it's a shame. Hot as FUCK arab woman. Very very nice, totally a "type" of mine.
Since then I've been thinking about DMSI all day and maybe we need more caring like RT says.
I mean, I feel like maybe sex is taking the precedence, but I also don't want to turn into a provider, you know? So it's complicated.
Just like with my hairdresser when things were near the beginning. After our third date and how I thought maybe she was afraid I just wanted sex from her.
But then I thought to myself "what's wrong with wanting to have sex with someone? Does there have to be a 'price' you pay aside from sharing some sexual adventures?"
I still think sex for sex is fair, and one shouldn't have to be a white knight or give something to a girl just to get access to her pussy.
So while I'm disappointed nothing became of that arab woman and I, I don't think i would have played it any differently, except maybe ask her "enjoying your evening?" next time.
