Ask or answer Do you find you ask others more questions, or you prefer to answer questions.
Would you rather find out more about a person, or open up and talk about yourself? Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.

Depends on the person.
And the questions.  |

And the questions. Well there is that I suppose. Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.

Would you rather find out more about a person, or open up and talk about yourself? I prefer to find out about the person first, then I open up a bit and talk about myself. People say I'm a good listener | |

And the questions. Well there is that I suppose. I guess by that I mean, there are people I find immediately interesting and/or am attracted to in some way (not saying sexually attracted) that I could listen to for hours. There are others that I'm either not all that interested in or maybe even turn me off in some way and then I'm not likely to ask or answer much. It takes a bit to open me up sometimes and answer questions too, so if it's really personal stuff (and heck, sometimes even not so personal) you just have to catch me in the right mood, or ask in just the right way to get me to answer anything. I've been told by at least 3 people here they find me quite distant. I don't really see myself any more 'distant' than the next person, but since it's been said several times by different people, that probably means there's some truth to that. |

If anyone watches BB UK, they will know Charley is a prime example of talking about herself. She isn't interested in anyone else but her. Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.

I understand where you are coming from, but if a guy were to appear distant to me, I would instantly wonder what he is hiding, or is he a bit shady. Especially if I have asked him questions and he won't answer me outright. Interesting that you immediately think they are shady or hiding something. How about just being shy or insecure? Or simply not comfortable with you yet? |

Ok, I had better rephrase that before I get myself in trouble. Actually, just scrub it. [Edited 7/24/07 7:20am] Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.
