So, I was talking to someone the other day when I came to the realization that I've never asked a girl out, or propositioned a lady for sex. 

Well, neither have I.

[V-Adore]

That was one of the weird realizations when I broke up with the Gentleman Caller -- "oh, man, I have been seeing this guy so long that I spent all of college and most of high school not dating. Oh, crap, what a waste. I should have broken up with him earlier." (At least, that is what the crass side of me said. The non-crass side was more like "oh god, what do I do? I'm 24 -- will I ever be loved again?! WOE AND RUIN")

Well, uhm, maybe you should listen to your crass side more, then.

Your crass side is definitely a lot more right, it seems.

Our crass sides seem to always have our own singular best interests at heart, it seems. That's why they're the crass side.

Also: I just now, three days later, figured out what "the tell-tale arrow" was. Christ, I'm dense.

For years I thought it was a smile. Then I finally realized it was an arrow pointing from A to Z. It was kind of like first noticing the arrow in the FedEx logo.

Can't it be both?

[oball]

No.  That's crazy talk.

You didn't miss out on much - really it's for the best to skip as much awkward, sloppy kissing as possible.  In the end you've had less of someone else's saliva on your chin and fewer uncomfortable moments of running into someone on the street who you lied to to get away from when you were too young to communicate your needs.  That's all.  24 is the best age to date - it is when I found real love and developed some of the strongest platonic relationships too.  You are the right age to actually know what you like and to not put up with unnecessary bullshit.  You have lots of time - the years between 24 & 30 are the hardest and the best as far as I'm concerned.
