Amazing...

Tonight I was sitting at Reps chatting to the one or two people I know that frequent the place and watching the other people that drift in and out. It is a great place to observe people. At the same time I find it interesting how people relate with people in accordance with their body language and their conversations.

People generally are fascinating creatures.

My questions that I would like to have answers to is where is that fine line between flirting and “flirting”? Someone actually explained to me there is flirting and there is spading. Apparently, for those of you who don't know (like I didn't) "spading" is when people are trying to score.

Either way, why is it that as soon as people realise you have came by yourself to a club, bar or any particular function they presume firstly that you are single and secondly that you are looking for something or rather someone? Why is it impossible to be female and sit at a bar, by yourself and purely want to meet with your friends to enjoy your evening without wanting anything more? Why was it so much easier to have male friends i.e. boys, when one was a child but when we are older there always has to be something else expected? Why can’t we just be friends without crossing any lines? Or basically why is everyone expecting sex at every corner? Are we only creatures with an animal instinct that states that we have only one form of communication that being to copulate? If that is the matter why were we given minds to think with and voice boxes to talk with?! Or was that some huge mistake?

At the end of the day…. Where is my knight in shining armour or does he not exist? Yes, maybe I'm putting too much pressure on the male species but then again why are we brought up on fairy tales only to be told later that they were all lies. I don't want to be swept off my feet....well, not exactly but I would love a man to know how to treat a girl and not be fifty years old when he does this! These days its either the youngsters who have the bravado to just ask if we'd sleep with them or the "elderly gentlemen" who think you are a "pretty little thing". All in all one could take it as compliments or else be insulted by both. I smile sweetly and thank who ever for their kind acknowledgement of my presence and leave it at that.

The really amazing thing is when you meet someone for the first time and there is that instant spark! Well, this happened the other day to me. It has to be the first time I've felt such a "spark", which is the only way I can describe it. Other times one may find people "cute" or "good looking", this time was wonderfully, amazingly different and so much more. It was like magic! Further more for once he wasn’t being typically male and hinting at jumping into bed but actually able to have a decent conversation which was truly wonderful. What got me was that spark I felt when our eyes met. I can't get over it. It truly was amazing!
