The "mine" complex

Today, just now actually, something happened which happens quite a lot. I was sitting in one of those seats on the bus where you have two people sitting opposite you. Then a couple came in, about 25 years old I'd say, and the man sat opposite me. The woman's immediate reaction was to but her hand on his thigh and then hold his hand and continuously kiss him throughout the bus ride.

The not-so-subtle "He's mine" gesture.

When I catch myself wanting to keep my object of affection away from other girls, as soon as I become aware of it, I do the complete opposite: I leave him as much space as possible and watch what happens.

Turns out so much more amusing.

I tend to take on the attitude that he needs to be on his best behavior if he wants me, he needs to persue me. I'm quick to move away.

This isn't to say that I'm not the jealous type, I most definitely am, but when I get jealous I move away and act pissed off in stead of trying to hold him captive.
