Sati....apana
It might've been 2016 when I wandered in at Sir Branson's Spaceport America Visitor Center in T or C.
Sukhi was staffing that day and I made a couple of videos of her talking about things. There was a moment when she leaned close to look at the image on my camera that I've looked back upon as a possible missed opportunity; the moment was playful, and I pulled away in jest as if to keep her from seeing. She moved closer and as she leaned to see, her awareness of the "play" evoked a response that was open and enticing.
European born and raised, I wait for clear signals before making a move. But now, years later, I wonder if perhaps that was one of those times when I should've transcended my upbringing. Might I have been one of the recipients of her poem?
okay, it is time for me to ask a question, because i have been here before reading your posts. I do like your blog a lot, but sometimes i do not know what you are saying, and just move on. So now as this story is about possible missed opportunities. I 'll ask the big question: What are you really saying here? What are you asking? are you asking? Are Suki and the video's related?
ReplyDeleteWithout waiting for your answer, because i might never get back to this page:) What i understood from it. Is that your European upbringing taught you to wait for clear signals in a woman to see if there are opportunities for deepening a relationship. And if that is it, i wonder if you are talking here: sex, romantic or a conversation. I as a woman, might give a hint to another person (like her leaning in, in your story), that i would like to chat, that does not mean sex! or in this case, maybe she just liked to joke, nothing else. I highly recommend, that people ask clear question when it comes to sex! Which if you would have just chatted with her, you for all i know might have ended up there. I think it is NEVER okay to barge ahead after an assumption. Just ask when not clear. If that is what you were talking about
These are just my aimless musings....nothing more.
DeleteThere's an olde joke that says if you tell a man he has a nice tie her thinks it's a proposal of marriage. (Which, in today's world, would mean an invitation to fuck.)
Thanks for your observations. Based on them I feel my upbringing served me well and I did the proper thing by doing nothing more than enjoying our conversation.
