The idiot said I am not human

whereas the human said I am an idiot.

An out of character blog post by the king of Mars. You see, I am human, and an idiot too. The things about it is though, that I don't seem to allow my self to become too human.

If I meet other people, I usually have a good time, not always, but usually I do have a good time. However, time is finite in these situations, and as always there comes the moment of goodbye. I, being (mostly)human, say goodbye to these people, and possible run into them again later, without giving it much thought.

The problem with this arises when I have what I like to call a delayed emotional feedback process. Sometimes I meet people that in retrospect I want to get to know better. I only realise this during the feedback process when it is too late to ask for a phone number or other form of contact information.

What I need to do is either find a way to have a real time emotional feedback process which informs me in time, or another way to remind myself to ask for contact information. However, as it is usually an informal setting I often find myself distracted by numerous aspects that do not directly involve the other person and completely forget about it.

There is possibly a lesson in here, but I find that I am incompatible with this lesson, so if anyone can provide an alternative, that would be lovely.

    Maybe you need to bring along an alter ego like a wicked good friend or a close sibling (if that exists) with you when you go out. This person can prompt you to get the number or whatever it is you are seeking in another person.

    Cheers!

    Perhaps a state visit to Venus would help.

    Hmmm, the friend is a method that I do employ but it would be better that I not rely on the memory of others. I will just train my instincts better.

    Yeah, trips to Venus aren't that bad, but it's nice to be able to call afterwards if I want to. It's usually informal visits though, all that official mumbo jumbo just gets on my nerves.
