"Communications" From the Fairer Sex (?)

O.K.  as some of you guys have probably figured out by now, I'm trying to get interested in relationships and such lin life for once after all this weight loss to me, so it's been like a daily learning experience out there, esp. since the "rules" seem to have changed somewhat in our  country since these past 15 or 20 years (IMHO) ..   One thing I've noticed lately is that gals (at least younger ones) seem to to be somewhat clumsy around me in public, like bumping into my shopping cart with theirs or cutting in front of me with it or themself, usually apologizing and giving me a smile for what they did ..     Things sorta reached a climax in that regard  last night at Wal-Mart.  I was on the candy aisle (ironically - I know, bad boy!)  and looking at some small bags of chocolate bars on an upper shelf when two young gals came up by my side, chatting away.  One suddenly reached over above me, putting her arm almost directly in front of my face, to examine or retrieve a product on the shelf.  I was about to ask her, "can you say 'excuse me'? (a favortie saying of mine of late in stores, unfortunately, wtih all of the Holiday "bustle" this time of year, btw) when she (accidentally?) lknocked a couple of the packets of chocolates off the shelf, one landing on my head and the other brushing my face as it fell to the floor ..  She immediately apologized profusely and lightly grabbed my shoulder, and, after her apparent relief at my embarrassed chuckle in response, she then picked the items up off the floor and her and her compainion quickly moved on  ...    My female question o'th day is this:  do gals engage in this type of clumsy behavior (consciously or unconsciously) to try to get the attention of someone they're interested in, or are they just on something?  (btw, yes, I checked for my wallet immediately afterwards and it was still there)

I think they are totally self absorbed..and do think about pummeling anyone to get what they want,,, My experince has been they ladies will not be shy....if you are at a restarant...they will put theie buiness gard on your table, or come up and give you their number, and ask to buy you coffee..or more direct... I think times have changed...women are more comfortable being the persurers...If I was intrested, there would be pleanty to choose from... Women are very jelous....if you are out with one, other women will try to pick you up...even in front of your date... And I find this on all age and economic groups... Sounds like you are having fun.... Russ

I wouldn't try too hard to figure them out. It's a futile endeavor that could cause stress eating. Consider each one individualy, and assume she's nuts until proof to the contrairy presents itself.
