Female

Being a female stinks
Because accepting and denying isn't easy
The relationship that had previously existed
Between the two of you has been altered
It will never be how it was
Some males are coy, slow or scared
Others are too aggressive or physical
The hints just go right over their head
I have to wash my hair, I already have plans, I'm rather tired
Maybe another time
Tactful but not beating around the bush
No thanks
You are really a great person
I'm just not ready to get involved
I enjoy being single too much
I'm not prepared to give up my freedom
How to be gentle and take the compliment but clear
Girls don't just want to have fun
We want to be respected, liked, appreciated, given affection, valued, enjoyed, smiled at, and love unconditionally
Nothing too complex
Is it really asking too much
Or too little?
