Butch Femme Planet - View Single Post - Femmes: How do you like to be treated on a date?

I am beginning to see that those who require "knowing" right away because they do, will find those of us that need to have time with you to know how we feel too slow. And will assume we don't like them. Because we aren't giving signals that we know. Because we don't. It's not personal. We don't know with *anyone* - we can't make snap calls of how we feel about someone we don't know.

It's like someone asking me "do you like my moms vegetable soup?"
And me saying "well I don't know. All I've been able to do is look at it in the bowl, I haven't tried a bowl yet."
"Then you don't like the soup!!!" And they take the soup and leave.
How about letting me slowly savour a bowl, not asking me every two spoonfuls, and being ok with that? Is that possible?

It seems odd to my brain to not allow me to experience something before demanding an answer of if I enjoy the experience or not. I don't expect people to know if they like me or not till we've spend some time together.

This is why some people really frustrate me and hurt my feelings - they are all over being that they like me five minutes after meeting me, then a month later, right when I'm starting to warm up and trust a little and feeling good about this and mebbe sexy times... And they change their mind. They don't. They were mistaken.

That hurts. I'd prefer that they reserved opinion before hand. That hurts less to have someone say "this isn't really my thing" when they never said it was in the first place. Than to have someone be very enthusiastic then change tracks. Makes me trust people even less, makes me even slower to make up my mind. Because I'll want to see if the wind changes first, before I invest.

Am I the only one who does this?
