Fear not, this isn't a post complaining about anyone individual, as maybe suggested by the title. I feel that I should own up. Although I know the subject of this post already (before typing, unlike previous posts), I should warn that I am armed with yet another strong black coffee, so we shall see the results...
I am 'owning up' to being a bit 'urgghhh'. Since I have lived in a wheelchair, split with my very good girlfriend, and had many many failed attempts with 'the female of the species' (who wrote a song with that title? 'Space' methinks, although probably wrong). Now, in my mind I am passing through my years, trapped to a chair. Believe it or not, although depressing and there are obvious downsides, I've got to try and attempt to turn any flip side into a positive. Not necessarily for me. To cut a long story short, I am trying to create a valid excuse. Whilst out on my own, shopping, I have complimented/flattered girls that I have found very attractive, telling them. Now, I think that this is ok, because they should know that I am not expecting any compliment in return and feel no pressure in doing so. I know that I am 'leagues' (and about 2 or 3 ft) below them, but hopefully they can just take a simple compliment.
What is the harm in trying to be positive? Again, I do not expect anything in return. So essentially, I am correct in trying to turn things into a positive without a negative (no-ones attacked me yet).
Fortunately most are not expecting this so when I say nothing, they do not feel hurt (even though they are the ugliest in the world!)
....sorry, joke
