Tales From The Trenches: Tale #43

Today, friends, our lovely guyspert Kasey shares with us the art of timing things perfectly. Hope you enjoy! xoxo

Rule #36
Timing is everything

OK! So you’ve found the perfect person! Woohoo! The problem is…they don’t know it yet. Well, friends, do not despair (and do not venture into creeper-land…)! If you see a person you like at a social gathering, and you manage to be at all the same get-togethers as they are, good! Very nicely timed. If you see them through the cans in a grocery store aisle more than once, you are stalking. Stop it.

Timing is everything — you have to meet the person somewhere, some place, some time. OK, check. You next need to come up with random times to be sweet; hey, look, flowers! Surprise! Now, don’t even think about flowers after you’ve met someone once; I’m sure it works for some people, but it is a risky move. Just don’t do it.

When timing anything regarding someone you’re interested in, ask yourself one simple question: If I do this now, will I look like a creeper? If the answer is maybe, then save it for later. You’ll get there eventually. Be patient. Wait for it, wait for it…
