Hi there...

@Avicenna Can you please point them in my direction sir? I swear every guy that I come across just sees me as a friend or someone to discuss hobbies and interests with. Obviously I'm doing something very wrong, lol

I know they exist because I'm one of tham myself. I suspect where you're at you might have to take the initiative, though.

@Avicenna Ah, I've tried but it doesn't work. I think I told you this story before, but the last time I approached/asked out a guy I liked, it was last year I believe? He turned me down and said we should remain friends. He was attracted to me, but I wasn't feminine enough for him and too tomboyish. Yet he said he loved being my friend :|

Guys are so confusing sometimes, lol

Ugh, that's frustrating. Tomboys are feminine.

@Cynicaldreamer I have my own category, so I love the tom boy definition (feminine but can kick ass lol) , and whilst I appreciate nerdishness (I love history, I'm a sports geek), I'm probably don't fall in the gamer catergory. I play so few games to the extent any gamer girl probably has the upper hand against me, but I'm a whizz on the football field lol

I was kinda a cool kid at school, but that's because I played for the football team, at heart I had an element of nerdiness lol

Football nerd! Sounds interesting 😊 lol I was a theater kid but I was also a cross country runner and a swimmer. It took me forever to come out of my shell because we loved around so much.

Oh I loved cross country as a youngster... I was basically Forest Gump without the back story, so when I played football I never stopped running but also every now and then I did a cross country run, I never won but I never ran out of energy lol

Well... I'm athletic, love guns, wear cargo pants with boots, and hardly ever wear a dress or makeup. But I am also a STEM major and I play as well as DM 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons if that counts.
