Everyone knows women get “involved” more quickly than men. The phone calls and text messages you want to make, your more sensible part says, “No. Don’t text him again. Give him a chance to miss you”
So you play it cool. He takes hours to reply to a text. You have your phone in your hot little hand, you know exactly when he replies, yet you must wait.
The rules: don’t appear too eager, too available. Does he have rules, or is he just less involved? So you restrain yourself, inhibit yourself.
Does it always have to be this way?
This is another response to Velvet Verbosity's 100 word challenge. The current prompt is INHIBITED.
Ah, does it have to be this way, indeed. A very good question... and a very nice response to the prompt. Thank you.
ReplyDeletePerhaps his rule was to wait hours before texting? LOL

articwren- well thank you, and also thanks for commenting. There is a high calibre of writing on these prompts, and this one did have me a bit stumped. I did use inhibit even so. . .
ReplyDeleteRobinhawke- I know, that's what I figured too, but who knows with men? (Pfft, and they say women are mysterious!)
Who knows with men ... that is the question ! Makes me wonder if it all just boils down to "mind games" ... part of the ongoing battle of the sexes ?
ReplyDeleteMish, Men- can't live with them . . .can't beat them at their mind games!
