Some people who know me may not consider me shy, but nonetheless, I hate rejection as much or more than anyone else. I therefore appreciate it when a woman takes the risk of rejection by initiating dating, touching, or sex. Assuming she is a woman I am interested in, of course! I am often frustrated by relationships where the woman expects me to make all the choices. I would really like to have a relationship where, over the long run, decisions, risks, and various other give and takes worked out to be about 50-50. Actually, it doesn't have to actually be 50-50 as long as it *feels* like it's 50-50! __ "It seldom turns out the way it does in the song!" Seth Jackson dec-curium!jackson
