83) Respect the Lady

​What do you mean?

I can say whatever I want to an attractive lady. Obviously, it is up to the lady. (It is her choice.) I cannot force the issue. Let it be.

How, so?

Many examples shown below:

• I texted a lady for a date. She replied. I texted her the food spot, then she never reached out to me. So, I stopped from there. Respect the lady.
• On this phone app, "Meetup," a lady and I have been exchanging messages a bit. Then, I messaged her, "I would love to take you out for dinner. When's your availability?" She answered something like, "That's weird and inappropriate. I am 100x out of your league. Thank you!" That is the end. Respect the lady.

• A lady always sees my SnapChat stories. Is this going anywhere? No. Why, so? I texted her, "I'll take you out for dinner. Let me know your availability." No word from her. It ends there. (It is just social media.) Respect the lady.
• I asked a lady for a hangout. She confirmed it. Halfway through the hangout, I opened up to her. I told her, "You are attractive." She said something like, "I enjoy being single. Guys are needy and obsessive." (She dealed with guys based on her experience. Obviously, that is a friendly "no" to me. Next time, do not confuse her. She expects a hangout, since I asked for a "hangout." Lesson learned.) Again, respect the lady.

What are you trying to say?

I am single. I cannot always get any lady I want. Patience is the key.
​
Great news: I have kept in contact with lady from Memphis via FaceTime-ing and text messaging. (I met her in Vegas.) Right after the Golden State Warriors won a ring, she told me that she got accepted to med school in California. She told me, "She's so excited. Plus, I will be closer to you." (Yes, I was excited as well.)

What happens between you and her now?

​It goes with my present-self quote, "The past is remembered. Live in the present. The future is in you." (From my previous blog posts, I have mentioned this quote a few times.)

She asked me, "Is this a good idea?" (Asking me if she should study and live in California.)

I answered, "That's a great question. I cannot answer that. Remember, follow your instincts. The future is in you."

(Yes, I would want her to come here in California. It is her decision. I do not want to force her.)

Again, respect the lady.

What now, then? Smile, and enjoy nature (my type of happiness). Appreciate life. Keep exploring while I still can. (Picture shown below.)
