For the women out there: How many times have you had sleepless nights falling in love with a guy, but that guy doesn’t seem to notice how you feel about them.

Ladies (and men), please take note of this fact:

Men will not assume you like them even if you flirt with them, not because they’re insensitive, but because they don’t want to assume something then be humiliated for thinking so.

If  you want a guy to know how you feel about him, just tell him!  You get to know their reaction faster, and it removes the countless nights of thinking whether or not they like you. Let’s face it: Men are not all psychic. If  you girls can’t read our minds, why do expect us to read your mind? Human beings have evolved an efficient way of expressing their thoughts and feelings:  it’s called talking.

I will be daring enough to assume that if you’re reading this blog, you are human. Then,  if I’m right, you can talk too (maybe even too much).  Do you know how irritating it gets when a girl talks and talks about how great someone is? Yes it can be very annoying.

Here’s the kicker: After some time this girl will come to you crying or sobbing or with a very long face and then suddenly blurting out that this guy that she can’t stop talking about is seeing a new girl and that, that guy is thankful for her for being a great friend?  So you let her cry, then you ask her, “Did you tell him how you feel about them?” And her answer….drumroll please…”No”. Tada! And then you have this lightbulb moment: “So that’s why.” Something reminiscent of the “My Bestfriend’s Wedding”.

So why are you afraid to tell him?

Fear of rejection? Fear of the unknown? Fear of losing a friend? If he’s really your friend, he won’t leave. You are both rational people, right? Sort it out.  Don’t dwell on it if he leaves, at least you got one less friend to  think about. Don’t act like a child;  you don’t need a boyfriend to survive. You’re like saying that all singles are unhappy without a partner. Once you get that idea straight, life will be easier.

Don’t pressure yourself, and definitely don’t rush it. It will come when the time is right.

Don’t get tunnel vision and block out your other friends. You have friends that understands you and care for you.  You have them; don’t risk losing them because of one boy, man or woman.

Live your life to the fullest. Remember, not all men are psychic.

 

I came across a very alarming article in CNN Health, about how researchers found “Nearly half of the 90 beverages from soda fountain machines in one area in Virginia tested positive for coliform bacteria — which could indicate possible fecal contamination.” Yup you read that right, “fecal” contamination. Bacteria in poop, sh*t, feces, whatever you want to call it, was found in their sodas. The researchers still don’t know how that got there but what they’re sure of is “Many of the soda beverages from the dispensers fell below U.S. drinking-water standards, according to the findings.”

I’m starting this new year with a lot of changes to this blog.

I’m moving all my photography tutorial posts to a new blog, www.beginnersphotographyguide.info, to better organize my posts directed at beginners in photography. If you want to learn how to start, prosper in and enjoy photography, check that new site or click the RSS feed on the right sidebar of this blog.

I’m also writing a new and separate blog where I will be documenting my efforts to lose weight, be fit and stay healthy. If you’re curious if I succeed or not, check it out at http://myhealthandfitness.info or again, just click on the RSS feed on the right sidebar.

So what’s left to write  here in my official blog? A lot, actually. I’ll be sharing more insights on photography, technology and life in general, something I haven’t done in the past year.

Thanks for reading my blog, and come back for more! Subscribe to my RSS feed to be updated with my latest post.

Thanks and have a happy new year!
