If You Don't Mean it Don't Say It

If there was one thing I would change about Morocco, it would be the sugar coating and talking.  They like to talk and talk and talk and make you feel good, but many do not deliver leaving you feeling empty.  One time with Mr. Casa, he did not make tagine and I was upset about it.  It was not about the tagine, it was this exact behavior “saying you will do something and not doing it.”

Side note: he made me a salad that night and tagine the next night. Thankfully he realized that I did not like this behavior and changed it-smart, insightful guy  

If you have nothing REAL to say, then SAY NOTHING AT ALL.  Selfish, rude, and mean at times-weaknesses I exhibit from time to time, but I am DIRECT and try my best to be an honest, real human being. I do not SAY THINGS THAT I DO NOT MEAN and I have been pretty direct since childhood-maybe too much.  If I do not like you, you know it and if I like you/love you I show it-of course there are shades of gray as well.

But in general, I do not tell people that they are hot, attractive, perfect, sweet, etc if I do not believe they are.   If I do not feel like I am interested, you will see this disinterest through my body language and I will speak the truth. If you ask me, “Do you like me?” I will of course soften the blow, but I will not say I like someone if I don’t.

I know you have good intention Moroccans, but please just KEEP IT REAL....
