You are totally right in pretty much everything you said. I'm ridiculously competitive. I have to win. Win arguements, win at games, win at sports. I've made an effort to ensure that my love for competition doesn't affect the overall quality of everybody elses experience though.
Yeah, not sure how you worked that one out. I pay on first dates, and pretty much every date until I have a girlfriend, then if she insists I'd let her pay half or something. And yep, I don't play any games. I won't delay sending a text message (Yes, I still do text
) or wait 3 days or do anything like that. I don't mess around with kisses either (didn't even know that was a thing until a friend of mine asked me why I was being blunt because I only put 1 kiss?!)
First impressions used to be really important. Now not so much. The first date with my ex was one of the best days of my life. Notice how I put ex.. :P
It may have been the disdain I express toward social media as seeing me as traditional. I'm all for a strong woman who can hold her own. I love athletic sporty, competitive women with a bit of muscle. I'm not attracted to overly feminine girls, so I feel that's a non-traditional view I have. I think certain aspects of social media are great. I can see my family in Australia for free on Skype, keep in touch with friends that are far away, but in my life, that only takes up a few messages once in a blue moon.
I'm also a massive hypocrit, I'm on FB pretty much every day. Addiction. But I managed to delete Snapchat/Twitter and I haven't missed them ever since.
