I know that we have all heard them, the means for which suitors try to impress/seduce others to take a peaked interest in them. In fact I have been (I know some of you all have also), but its when one is on the receiving end that one can truly see how pitiful these advances can be.

Por exemplar: As dude is tryna get to know me, it drops that I am a gamer. So when discussing his boredom compared to my entertainment with my 360 (I love you), it comes up that he hasn't played the game and would like for me to 'teach him'.

NIGGA, I take my games too seriously to be teaching you how to play, come with the skills so we can compete and go from there. Maybe I take my games to seriously, but then again...If we superimpose the situation in another realm, I would feel the same way about it all. Being that I'm versed in Japanese and anime/manga, I find it much more attractive if someone steps to me in saying that they like certain types of anime, can speak/write a bit, or have some concept of either of the two rather than asking if I can teach you or recommend some to you. It kinda blows the attraction level, albeit on a minimal scale.

Its just a pet peeve for me and my interests. I am more attracted to someone who shares the interests so we can speak intelligently than someone who is using them to get closer to me. Just be you and stop soliciting private tutor lessons!
