Words Words Words; What words do you choose??? Do you use them as a shield??? What do you mean to say when you use your words??? I love that term; use your words…
I talk with people all the time, most of the time, often, sporadically, randomly, now and again, once in a while, here and there… Which is true??? Obviously it cannot be all the time; there are moments in which I am silent as well as my mind is silent… It stands to reason, that it is unlikely; most of the time as well… Though I would say the other statements are true…
During these conversations, I hear and see the misuse of words often; even by highly educated people… There are several tv shows that use the misuse of words for comedic purposes… My favorite is when you are reading someone’s dating profile and they distinctly say that they require you to know how to spell and use words… Of course within the paragraph they have misspelled, misused, or mixed up which form of the word they were choosing… I would like you to know that despite my use of the soap box rant I am choosing, I too am guilty of these charges… I have several things I continuously do with misspelling, mixing up words or improperly using them… Anyway, I have had the pleasure of having a few words, as well as statements thrown at me over the last couple of years…
For instance; I had a man tell me what a great person he is, that he is wonderful, and how much fun he is, and how he loves to spoil his girl… He then asked to meet me, and for the next two hours sent me texts on how I had lied to him about myself, about my looks, and that I was too horrible to date… *yep that was wonderful and fun; so by spoiling you mean you will spoil her day???* I have had a man ask me out twice, and spend most of the second date kissing me in public; only to stop in the middle of one and tell me I was moving too fast… *raised eyebrow* Mind you this man was quite tall and in order for me to have been the instigator in this activity I would have needed a ladder, another words no one forced him to kiss me… I have had a man who reviewed my profile, sent me emails, asked me out, showed up for this date, then continued to contact me *calling and texting* for a couple weeks, break it off, start contacting me again, this continued several more times… He then tells me he is not attracted to me… *laughing* isn’t that the very meaning of attraction??? I think what he is trying and failing to say is that he does not like that he is attracted to me, what do you think???
