I am the girl who is consistently labelled as one of the guys. I do not have very many female friends. I hang out with a lot of what I will lovingly describe as socially inept people. They tend to put their foots in their mouths a lot, or misread body language (assuming that they are not entirely illiterate to this particular language to begin with) and, typically, it gets them in a lot of trouble with the opposite sex. They either get scolded, shunned, or worse yet, Friend Zoned *shudders sympathetically* These sort of people tend to gravitate towards me, for a lot of reasons. Not the least of which is that I am not your average girl.
It aggravates me that so many of these lovable, yet socially awkward, people are consistently shuffled into a social corner or swept under the proverbial rug, just because they don't have a grasp on the finer points of social etiquette.
It is my goal to assist, and possibly educate these misfits on some of those finer points, without the harsh reality of heartbreak and/or ridicule. I am not going to say that I don't care that your clothes smell like mothballs and your apartment smells like mould. I'm not going to pretend that the stains on your clothes are sexy, or that the pile of dirty dishes rotting in the sink makes the place feel 'lived in'. I am not going to let you think it's okay to babble over every comment I make, or just smile and nod your way through an entire conversation. However, I am going to disillusion you to these facts as a kind and caring observer, not slap you in the face with each shortcoming or misstep.
I really do what to HELP. I want you to be a confident, socially adept, dating machine! With all of the social graces to woo the person that never notices you!
