Naturally, we gravitated to the fully blinged Attack From Mars Remake Limited Edition (AFMR LE) version! We have never been one for pinball toppers, but the custom Doug Watson one on our AFMR LE is absolutely damn awesome! Doug Skor and the gang at CGC should be immensely proud of producing yet again a beautiful and faithful classic pinball machine. This is no ordinary AFM though, it’s Chicago Gaming Company’s ‘Remake’, which comes in three different editions – Classic, Special and super duper Limited Edition. With the feature list as long as our arm (our arms are long!) on the Limited Edition, like the jaw-dropping 19¼” XL HD colour display that has to be seen to be believed, shaker motor, enhanced DCS sound system, cabinet side mirrors, RGB lighting to name just a few, this machine was always going to tickle our fancy. So what the hell has space and Martians got to do with this thrill of the chase? Glad you asked! Put simply, when you mix pinball with Mars and its Martians invading our little blue marble, you get a very special and top rated pinball machine – Attack From Mars (AFM)! We are fascinated with our planetary brethren in the family of the solar system, especially that red planet not too far away from us and its inhabitants. Speaking of celestial bodies, we have always had a fondness for space and the cosmos at large.
When I dug deeper, I realized that the reason this behavior is deemed "needy" is that I really wanted the guy to chase me and be interested in me! If a man rejected me, it ruined my whole day.It’s not often that the stars align for us, but when they do, oh boy it’s exciting! I used to think that showing a man obvious interest by moving things along was confident, not needy. If he doesn't want things to be more serious then you should get out while you can so your feelings don't get hurt.
How to do it right: If the relationship ends up being too casual don't act like you're into it and let him know that's not what you actually wanted. Don't be afraid to take things casual at first and see where they go.Įxample: Be open about what you're looking for if and when he asks, but make a note that you're realistic about dating and don't force him to define the relationship right away. While it's important to know what you're looking for as you're dating, you can't expect a relationship from every guy you meet. Don't immediately try to define the relationship. Make him think about you the next time he wants to do that thing and he will reach out to you.ġ0. Try and figure out some hobbies, activities, or games that the two of you might like even if that's starting a new show together with him on Netflix. Refusing to ask a question or skipping to a new topic might seem suspicious and weird.
How to do it right: Don't give him total nonanswers. Instead, give him maybe a half answer to what he wants to know so that way if he really wants to know more about you he will chase you and try and understand you. He needs to figure that out on his own and if he's really interested he'll be the one asking all or just the same amount of questions you ask him. The right one will be so captivated he won’t be able to imagine letting you go.Įxample: When he asks what you typically do on dates, don't mention your dating rules or explain why the two of you would be a good match.
Stop trying to prove your worth or explain why you would be good together. Not only does extreme effort not work, but trying too hard is a quick way to completely sabotage things. It’s super tempting to fall into the trap of thinking that we should be able to make things happen in relationships the same way we do in the rest of our lives. Want that man? Well, now that's where it gets tricky. Want that house? Save up and buy it for yourself. Want that job? Get that job or forge your own path. In most parts of our modern lives, the hot pursuit strategy works pretty darn well. Personally, I’ve never had a contest with my girlfriends to see how many dude’s numbers we can round up over the course of an evening. In the smallest way possible, they've won at something. This is why sometimes dudes high-five each other after getting women’s numbers at bars. Simple things like, "getting a number," then "getting a woman to text/call back," then "she agreed to a date" are all achievements. In the early stages of dating, masculine achievement looks like the process of getting you to agree to little things that indicate you’re interested.
