I've always been the type of girl to tell you what I was thinking whether or not you asked for my opinion. The only time I let things slide, is when it came to a guy hitting on me. I usually thought to myself, "Hey, it's a boost of ego for the day... what's the harm?" Well the harm is that once you allow the cat calling to begin, it dramatically thickens into sexual innuendo. It goes from a guy saying, "Hey girl you look fine" to "Talk dirty to me to help me out with... (you know the rest).
Here lately I've become on point on how I introduce myself to another guy. My slogan, "Hi I'm Amanda and I don't do relationships or hook-ups so don't think about it." Guys seem to not know how to respond because truth be told, it is a little strong for a first impression. But it's shows to men that no, I don't want to get serious with you and no that does not mean I want to sleep with you. YET guys either don't believe me or try to change my ways. NEWS FLASH: You can't change my belief on love and you damn sure aren't going to get in my pants with out a relationship, but wait I don't do relationships.... get my point?
I'm tired of the boys who believe they can't fight past my brick wall of self indulgence due to some ungodly ego they have for themselves. Recently I've become so tired that my feedback is ever so opposite from sweet. Basically, my goal is to tear these guys down from inside out. Not the ones who try to get sexual for the first time, but the ones who continually do it thinking that I might just up and change my mind. I have a couple responses I store at the back of my mind like flashcards, ready for the next ego beat-down I intend to give.
1. Here is one that was used TODAY: "Listen all this talk about sex makes me realize how much I think you are desperate. You constantly "hit me up" with dirty things thinking you are making me melt like butter. Truth is, you are so far from turning me on it's disturbing. How about you go hit on another girl in your list of "girla I think are easy" because I'm clearly not in that list"
2. More of a softer response: "I understand that you find me attractive and a cool girl. BUT I've told you before I don't want to get sexual with anyone right now. I'm not looking for a relationship which must happen in order for me to get sexual. So please refer to me as just a friend, as I've said before"
3. Last one isn't so sweet: "I think you've made it clear that you've got the hots for me. But in order for sex to happen, we both have to have the hots for each other. Don't you think if I found you attractive in any sense, I would have complimented you or at least played along in your little dirty talk games. In reality, the thought of us together without any clothes on makes me refer back to the time I had mono, when the toilet became my hugging partner. So how about you delete my number?"
Yes Readers, these are cruel and very blunt. If you have a person, male or female, who constantly tries to get in your pants when you have constantly told them it wasn't going to happen... blunt is more than needed. We need more people in this world to keep the zipper to our pants up. I'm sure many of you are going to say, "Amanda... you've slept around before." Honestly, yes I have but I'm a changed person and "my goods" are called "MY goods" for a reason. Nobody else needs them but myself. If I can handle another man, I can handle pleasing myself so don't make any offers.
Sex should not be frowned upon because we as mature readers know that sex makes the world go round. Sex although, should be an act that is worth something. I don't believe in waiting until marriage to have sex, because in that case it's almost like having sex with your sibling. You gain such a strong emotional connection, that by the time you are ready for "beneath the sheets time", you've gotten too close to see each other in that way. Eh, that may be just my belief. Point is, keep your hoo-hahs and shlongs to yourselves until the time is right and stop asking for mine.
Yours truly,
Amanda Rae
