unsolicited.. we were just taking and the next thing I know he had his arm around me. I don't know how else to describe it other than it felt good....
/ I stayed home yesterday. When I got here today I met with my bosses and told them they can start preparing for my exit. I told them everything. Of course, they wanna do something now but, I told them I've run my course... I got the juice now!

Is the rule book on getting old? I told someone I don't think I know how...

what if the hug wasn't something you wanted, OR from someone you wouldn't have wanted a hug from? Seems kinda harassment-y, unless I'm reading it wrong.

I can't speak personally on this because I'm pretty good socially and never had a problem with accusations of harassment. But men who don't have good social intuition/awareness? It's a fucking minefield.
I get that there's alot of creepy men who are abusive and they should be shamed, beaten up, punished, jailed when it's appropriate. But I also have alot of empathy for the nerdy, socially awkward men who don't have high levels of emotional intelligence. They're basically fucked. Take a chance on the wrong woman (and their skill-set isn't capable of accurately identifying the 'wrong woman') and the consequences are severe. This is why men like this often just turn inwards and don't even try. Or the worst case scenario...they get into the PUA scene (pick-up artist). They have conferences....classes...online tutorials....it's a whole industry. Not sure if you know about it. I'm biased as hell about it....but my perception is that it's basically a date-rape expert teaching socially awkward men EXTREMELY regressive tactics in trying to get laid. (ie stop being shy...all women LIKE to be dominated) More than a couple serial killers have emerged from this scene.

recruiter calls me back. I met with a couple of people On Tuesday to discuss an opportunity they'd contacted me about. Didn't even apply! And still have no clue how their recruiter found me because I was not actively looking for a gig and since my LinkedIn profile was not active either.
Nevertheless, the convo went well and I really liked what they had to talk about. Got positive feedback via body language and their verbal responses to my answers and questions.
I'm jive hating the place I'm at right now but I can make it for a little while longer if necessary. I don't want to now though. Hopefully, the recruiter calls me today with that offer so I can start getting letters drafted and mentally prepped to ditch this mofo.

we were leaving and dude rolled up behind him and whispered in his ear that next weeks Steeler game would be at his house..
my boy said he was so close his voice tickled his ear.
I asked him if he was going to his house to watch the game.
FUCK NO!!!

I was DJing, and this one girl wasn't even being flirty, but just seemed....like she was into me, and was scared to say anything.
I had seen her at a few parties, and got her number at some point, but didn't know much about her. She came to me as she left, and gave me a hug.....and I just went in and kissed her. She hella kissed back...and then came back five min later like "so...I'm REALLY leaving now" and we kissed again.
She texted me after saying she enjoyed it, and that it caught her off guard but she wasn't mad.
I can't even tell you why I did it...but it worked. We ended up dating for a few months after, LOL
