Where's the Enthusiasm ?

May 12 2011

sex

Guess it's time for my weekly rant. This weeks topic is: Why are some people (eg MEN) so lacking in enthusiasm these days ? . Today I received this text: "Want me to come over". That was it. No suggestion of what the purpose is etc. Sure... I'm not stupid (just blonde) and I know a "Let's Fuck" message when I see one BUT... this guy sends meaningless little text often with NO talk of sex ! . I took him out for his birthday on Monday and when we were back at my place he made NO attempts at "nooky". He kissed me on the cheek to say hi and on the forehead (FFS !) to say goodbye. . I did suggest we could go and warm up in bed but he declined as my daughter was asleep (in her own room). I was NOT suggesting a raunchy night of wild sex ! Soooo on his birthday he got no sex and no kiss on the lips and left just after 9pm. Weird. . Still he texts most mornings and evenings. Little, "hey wots up" messages. To which I reply, "The usual". (I used to say a lot more but why am I putting in the effort.) . I've actually lost interest in the guy due to his total lack of enthusiasm ! I organised bowling last Friday night but he just wanted to watch TV at my place because he was "too tired" ! I've invited him to come and kick the footy with me and he says he'll just watch me kick it ! . All I want is a guy who REALLY WANTS ME ! Wants me so much that he is bubbling with enthusiasm and wants to enjoy all that life has to offer with me by his side. Simple. I'm over chasing. . As for my reply to his text re coming over ? I said, "I don't see much point in us just sitting and staring at each other" (I was hoping it would lead to some suggestion of activity on his part.) He replied, "Fair Enough". . MISS SATURN WILL NOT CHASE ANY MAN EVER AGAIN ! If I'm not worth the effort then you are not worth sharing my bodily fluids with !!! As for bowling, kicking the footy, practising my combat skills... maybe I need a female to join me ? . Thank you for listening... my chest feels softer now. . xxx Miss Saturn

    Make yourself a good cup of coffee, have 15mins to yourself & take a deep breath ... & if that doesn't work I have a shovel & a great spot to bury the body...ps....Never ever make someone a priority if they only ever make you an option CheersHan

    ...Although it has been a cold, cold week in Melb...hmmmmm......nah..cant use that as an excuse! He was either loosing interest, or took you for granted, or had a boring personality( only you can answer that, as you reflect)... From previous topics, if i remember correctly, 'personality' was the peoples choice... Enthusiasm is what drives us through life to succeed and improve ourselves ,and our loved ones. Its what puts us on top of the mountain, or tumbles us to the bottom. He may have it M_S, but not to your level. No need to feel down about it...some people have heaps , some don't ! Dont give up the chase...maybe slow down and rejuvenate...but dont stop...Dont loose YOUR enthusiasm M_S !! keep smiling

    Thanks Hanna... cool quote ! . Here's another clue: . A guy that buys ONE ticket for the Essendon Vs Collingwood match and tells me I can watch it on TV... is NOT A GOOD CATCH !! (he supports Bombers, I support Magpies) . xx Sat

    Miss Saturn , I'll kick the footy with you, and hell no to watching the game at home!! Don't worry though we'll kick the Bombers butts anyway you would have had to pass him tissues all night hehe . But he kind of sounds like a let life happen around him type of person no real gusto for anything, including sex, his loss. xx

    Sometimes the routines we get into mean we take each other for granted. He needs to be grateful for what he has (You!) because it sounds like you are ready to call next!! and if you do I hope you find Mr Enthusiasm.All girls need a Mr Enthusiasm.

    Now then Saturn He kisses you on the cheek, he kisses you on the forehead, pretty sure they are all signs of affection, could this mean he see's you as more than a casual screw?So he sends you short texts, maybe he is like me and Isn't much into, or very good at texting, hey at least youknow he is actually thinking of you.So he doen't want to go to the park and chase a footy around, I am assuming he is a grown man, not a kid.Though I can't compehend why he wouldn't take you to the footy.Hey nobody is perfect but I think you seem to have this vision of some mythical man that doesn't exist whoyou measure all mere mortal men against, and wonder why you come up empty time after time.So maybe this fella isn't for you....will the next or the the one after that?Happy hunting!Cheers Nev

    If my younger brother wasn't happily married...I swear it would have been him texting you! < Here is me calling him: Ring Ring Brother: Yo Me: Hi, How are you? Brother: Yeah not bad Me: What you up to? Brother: Nuttin' SILENCE MORE SILENCE EVEN MORE SILENCE Me: Ok then talk later Brother: Cya < He is not only like this with me...he is like this with everyone! Bosses included lol. < Maybe Mr Not-So-Enthusiastic just has a problem with words! They also say that a kiss on the forehead from a guy means that he likes your brains (Dr Allan Pease)...Just ask him if he is into you...At least you will know! And the footy ticket? I wouldn't worry about it...maybe he is one of those feral supporters and he doesn't want you to see that side of him lol. If you meet someone you like...don't change yourself! As the saying goes...sometimes you have to kiss alot of frogs before meeting the Toad of your life! xFunlovingx

    I completely understand your post Miss Saturn. Enthusiasm is very lacking in most of the male species these days. I can sympathise with your frustration. If only these men realised this!!!! Seriously guys, it's not that difficult!!!!! I have learnt a new motto since joining here.......'do not chase, simply replace'. Sounds ideal to me!

    Libido Deviance case study #37: One friend of mine (a hot and raunchy blonde) was going out with another friend of mine (a rather cerebral programmer) and by the end of the first week he had already declined what would have been I'm sure A-grade pulse pounding sex (she's rather accomplished in this regard... so I'm told...) in favor of a Star Trek episode on cable.Just mention it, coz he had the same texting style...

    ....I nearly spat out my drink reading that..lol..OH DEAR my lovely Miss!!!Have no idea what to say..( and you know me..Ive ALWAYS got something to say to you..)that just made for a funny yet sad read at the same time. Hmmmmm and you know Im a bit of a lush..Id be happy watching you do all that combat/bowling/footy (yawwnnns) stuff too..but if you crack open a bottle of wine, Id glady help stave off the loneliness.Maybe he's just a lazy sack like me!!xxxx

    Now, maybe if he had said.....I'll watch you kick the footy, then I will tackle you! . I think would show a little enthusiasm.... especially if was muddy and he then had to throw you over his shoulder, take you to the shower room...... . .....but I digress. Yes, I do agree Miss_Saturn....there is definately a lack of enthusiasm out there.

    You just need to find someone with the same zest for life you do. I read your profile, and you sound like an active, passion for life kinda gal. You also sound like someone who likes to use their brain and english skills. If he's not up to both tasks by making atleast a little effort in communicating in an adult manner, and doesn't have the same energy for the simple yet fun things to do, then why worry about him? There are plenty of us guys around that do... Oh, and btw, it's not just some GUYS that are lacking in enthusiasm...or english skills for that matter... (Not directed at you Miss_Saturn...your english skills are perfect!)

    Obviously he thinks of you and with affection. If he kisses you on the cheek and forehead. If he sends you meaningless little texts during the day he is thinking of you. Now, he may have enjoyed watching you kick a football around. I mean that has to be a sight that most red blooded men would enjoy seeing surely. As for the ticket and you watching it on TV. He is a tightwad...clearly. Too tired to go bowling? He may have been or he may have just wanted to cuddle on the couch with you and not share you at all. Not everyone is energetic and out there. Some like to take it easy on a friday night, especially if the week has been stressful. Have you had sex with this man at all? Maybe he is taking it slow and wants to respect you. Some men are just like that. He may want you to think that you mean more to him that just a fuck and was actually showing a little respect as your daughter was in the next room. Talk to him. Ask him where he actually sees this heading. You never know.

    I see a relationship as a 2 way street.Both parties have to want to make an effort.Sometimes as others have mentioned things can be taken for granted and to me this seems to be the case.He obviously has some feelings for you or he wouldnt be texted you and its not as if he is using you for sex.Maybe he just needs a wake up call to make him realise what he could loose. Good luck

    Saturn Saturn SaturnFrom what I've read in this forum, I'd say he's hedging his bets with you...uncertain whether to proceed (or maybe how), or uncertain about what he actually wants. I am assuming that you're a single gal, and perhaps he has a "safety" buffer in that he knows where you are most of the time, and probably feels he doesn't need to work at "getting" you. His error, I think.However, as I see it, you have some tremendous assets here.....no pun intended....you know what you want, and you know what you don't want....and you barrack for Collingwood! I for one would love to have a kick of the footy with you, and I agree with most of the sentiments that, if he's not picking up on the little things you say or do, then he's probably just not that into you (I don't know whether that phrase is copyrighted..). Good God, there's some fabulous advice in this thread!!!And from the looks of your profile, if he persists with he errant ways, then I say more fool him!!

    Quoting 'Sensual36' Enthusiasm is very lacking in most of the male species these days. I dont know where you girls are digging these guys up from because my male friends do not lack in any enthusiasm what so ever. Maybe you girls are hanging back and expecting the guy to make all the moves. I dont know. Stop being so backwards at coming forwards and plant one on em. Many men do not understand subtle like "why dont we snuggle up all warm together in bed?" Hit them over the head with it. Use words like... "Well I suppose a fuck is out of the question then?" Might elicit a different response. lol.

    Fionabee.... I am happy to be forward about lots of things and if I was extremely horny then I'm confident of making the right moves to get the guy to bed... I find a nice BJ in front of the TV is a good place to start. But... this is not an RHP guy, I am not seeing him JUST for sex and this post wasn't actually about sex. It was about enthusiasm for relationships whether sexual or otherwise. . Nev... what a downer . Am I destined to be alone forever ? I hope not. Being on here has helped me work out a lot about what I want in a relationship. And believe me there's a lot I have to offer a man rather than my body and sex skills ! (I can cook and do the dishes too !!) Sooo... I believe I should be looking for a man who matches my needs in different areas. Passion for life is one of these as well as passion for sex. I do not simply want a guy who fucks well but wants to spend all the time at home. I don't see what's wrong with that. . Schroedinger... it actually sounds like you were talking about ME ! But you arse doesn't look familiar so I'm guessing not! . x Saturn

    Sooo maybe he did get my hint ? . This morning I get a text saying: "Are you free tomorrow night? Got a scoopon for a restaurant need to use soon." . Scoopon is a discount coupon ! LOL . He really lacks eloquence in his language. . Unsure if he wants to actually take me out for dinner or simply use the coupon he has ! . Either way... I say YES. I appreciate effort even if it involves "scoopons". . xxx Saturn

    I thought I knew what I was looking for when I first started in here...but that really has changed. I really don't want to be anyone's buddy, friends are great but I want the options of a deeper kind of friendship and as far as benefits...that all sounded just a bit too contractual. | I finally realized I didn't even have a game plan...so then what? I guess I would trade out benefits for priveleges any old day...the kind that are given as a gift and not an expectation, and then maybe just stumble over everything I wasn't expecting in exactly the place I knew I wouldn't find it. How good is that...about like a kid lost in a candy store. | Oh well, life can be a bit confusing at times... | ...but that's what makes it all magic. | | Made you look, huh?

    Quoting 'Miss_Saturn' . Schroedinger... it actually sounds like you were talking about ME ! But you arse doesn't look familiar so I'm guessing not! . x SaturnIn what regards? The A-grade pulse pounding sex, or the thrown over for Star Trek? If the former feel free to get familiar with my arse any time ...... but on topic, some folks is just hornier more of the time than others, perhaps the case here? Sucks though, feeling that way: I go through my stretches of "what is it with chicks, they all just blah blah blah..." just gotta try and be philosophical and get passed it, I guess... free advice from old Mr No-Help.

    But I admit I have acted like that with a woman , maybe 2 or 3 before , now I'm not saying that he's like me , but when I was acting like a lame-arse like that it was simply coz I was in nowhere land about where it was going and how I felt. And ok there might have been another muchacha or another I was remembering too. If I were you , and I'm NOT saying you should do this , but if I were you I would turn up the heat , frankly I would fuck him completely stupid , yep like a maniac , if you like it like that sometimes ;) and if he doesn't react I would say bye bye baby , very nicely. There ya go , that's my litmus test. If he doesn't become mega enthusiastic then forget it. Don't settle for number two , number one IS out there , maybe it's him and he just needs a good wake up slap!!!! But don't settle for anyone unless they light up your day like Chilli said , and unless they light you up , set you ON FIRE. You say you need enthusiasm , he's not enthusiastic = you're not compatible , simple. But give him one last shot?? He's gotta learn : you snooze you lose!!!! That's my two cents , have a great one , Loz

    I had another long think about your post! And it suddenly dawned on me...what if he IS into you? What if he has been jaded by women so much in the past that he is too scared to show you how much he does like you? Women can get away with treating ALL men badly cause they went out with an arsehole or two...Why can't men feel the same way too? < I think that you are a very strong woman but unfortunately not when it comes to relationships! Speak up! If you are really into him...speak to him, let him know how you feel! Find out more about his past relationships and maybe you can both heal each other from past pains! You never know Saturn...unless you communicate! xFunlovingx

    i had to check your profile to make sure what state you were in lol...i don`t have any kind of insight or constructive comments, other than for gods sakes don`t start cleaning his house for him...I think maybe there`s people who are generally excited and interested in `doing stuff` and try to `do stuff` and then other people who will sometimes watch/participate if stuff happens, but otherwise are quite content to sit around and watch tv all weekend *shrug
