Taking the First Step

Went to check up on my new apartment today and took my parents along for advice.

On the train journey home there was a very cute guy sitting opposite me Bit like David Tennant but with a smaller face and a bit shorter. I did on a couple of attempts to catch his eye with not much success and seem a bit difficult with parents there.

On the rare occasion that I had a "partner" I was always approached and never the other way round. So I have very little idea on how to approach someone I liked, never taken the first step in a relationship. Does it make a difference?

I have been rejected many times threw out my life so I tend to let someone make the big steps forward and I just either agree or disagree. A few missed opportunities but didn't think they were opportunities till it was too late.

Maybe that's what's wrong. You would think a string of rejections add another one it wouldn't make a difference but to me it does.

As it was very hot I wore a very tight fitting a dress and when I bent over it didn't leave much to the imagination on the top regions. But he seem to go out of his way not to look at me directly, having the folks there put him off a bit.

I am waiting for something but don't know what. Once I get going I am myself. Why can't I take that first step?

The Dark Side of Birth Control

I have recently been sent an email from Kelly Davis who has sent me a link from a website called The Health Crazies. It's a very interesting article about birth control i.e. the pill. Which marks it's 50th anniversary in the States this year.

I'm not currently on any type of birth control, thou some concerned family members of mine want me to see the Doctor about my period and think it's a good idea to go on the pill to help control it. I have naturally thought about it and still continue to do so, but have heard some bad side affects to the pill, like severe headaches and in some rare cases has been known to be a contributor to Cervical cancer.

There are many other forms of birth control including new methods an injection you get every 3 months and also an implant in the arm, which needs to be surgically removed if you want to have a baby. I like the injection idea but then I don't think I will natural without a period as it has been driven into me that no period means something bad (or good if you want to get pregnant).

Once I start having sex will obviously will have to really make a serious decision as to the right course of action as a condom isn't 100%. But then the emergency morning after pill is available and again not 100% so probably better off with a combination of birth control and protection.

Take a look and read the article about Birth Control. It's very informative wither you are on the pill or not.
