As I advance a bit in the neighborhood
.
Im saying hello to almost everyone I can while on my bike; Ive only had about 2 people not respond; and even in that; it was a kind of; well; thats their defense; I get it. My opinion on that; one does not know who or what they are. Im just taking my color of it…
.
Yes; I had one women roll her eyes at me like; “ OLD MAN” Stop staring at me… someone I just kind of walked by in the store… However; if I had preemptively put my hand up in friends gesture and said hi; it may have gone differently. I would have said hi before she knew what happened.
.
So; in general Im opening up to allot of people around… especially on my bike.
.
Another interesting thing; I was picking up a piece of garbage from a parking lot; I do this randomly one piece at a time at times; its an act of kindness… Some kid come out emptying a garbage can; saw me; I saw he rode up to him put the garbage in the garbage can; he looked at me and said; Thanks I appreciate you picking up some garbage in the parking lot.
.
Why is this important.
.
1. He said this to me; “ I appreciate you”
2. Next; I would ask myself the question; How could I have future friends or girlfriends; how could I get them to say that about me. That they appreciate me; Well; I would have to do something for them; some act of kindness toward them.. something free. A gift of niceness. Ill work with God on this… Amen. Being kind… authentically; unconditional. Like unconditional love.

Back to the subject;
.
WOMEN; And Dating and girlfriends.
.
When I was young; I had a girl I liked; I got around her flirted with her; but could go no further. Maybe it was her; maybe it was me. Maybe I sensed I was being used. Meaning; she could get better and wanted better; but I was the only one available at that moment; So; Im better then nothing; thats how it felt. To Bad; I was better then anyone she ever met. What I didn’t realize was; she didn’t care because I was never on her raider wont work; its a waist of time. I have to work with God and my inner being to attract someone that appreciates me; wanting to be around me.
.
Back to the story.
.
The point about that girl; she wanted to fool around with me or get close to me; she wanted me to ask her out. I couldn’t or wouldn't. But another girl at that time; I had no problem getting physically close with at a party. But when I thought about that girl up the street; I couldn’t. In the end I stopped associating with her. I didn’t trust her… but I loved her….
.
Lets look at this from the perspective that; I could touch someone that didn’t really mean anything to me; but I could not touch someone when it was offered from someone I was in love.
.
Next problem; I never told that person I liked; I never told them this problem; so they might work with me and help me. I wont know what they actually would have done.
.
So; I gave up trying to go after women I thought where in my worth range because they all seem to think they were much much better then me; or could get better. They simply never saw my worth.
.
.
Example of being looked past or looked over and discarded.
.
One time; I had a wallet full a cash. I wanted to buy an expensive bike. I walked into a local bike shop; They did not take me seriously; I didn’t look like someone from the elite college crowd. I looked like a ruffian from the streets with bikes for jumping off roof tops…
.
I was not liked and not taken seriously. However; I have enough money on me to buy one of their very expensive bikes; something they would have to order. It never got that far; they never really cared to even notice me certainly to work with me. I ended up buying a bike out of state…
.
I was not noticed or valued or appreciated. I had all the money they were looking for; still; they just looked me over and passed on me…
.
So; here was a situation ...
