Boy/Gal etiquette

Recently I meet this chap, guy, fellow..call him what you like. After a 30min or so conversation and engaging in what felt like a fencing sport on when each of us was available, wednesday? not good for me, friday? prior engagement etc, we settled on a day we were both free and we exchanged numbers. Conclusion? The chap, guy, fellow would call to confirm what time and where we were going to meet on Saturday evening for a drink.

On Friday night at 11:37 I get a text message from the chap, guy, fellow. The message?

'What's up, are we still hooking up tomorrow'? 11:37! Worse still a text message!

Did I reply the text? Yes on Saturday afternoon. My reply? No, I've changed my mind. Any chance I'll be meeting him for a drink in the near future? None.

He's probably called me a bitch for agreeing to meet him and changing my mind, and probably moved on to how chics are as reliable as the metrological dept.

Any chap, guy, fellow who doesn't know that boy/gal etiquette demands that when following up on a first drink or possible date you DON'T EVER send a text message, worse still not the night before you're supposed to meet her. Any self respecting man will call the lady a day or 2 before they are supposed to meet, and not at night during the day!, confirm where they are supposed to meet and the time.

Text message at 11:37! Good God!!

Gentlemen, I thought I would enlighten you incase you find yourself in the same position and wonder what happened after the initial meeting when sooo well.

Yoda, I am with you men. I have been getting it all wrong.

Goodness!

There is nothing I love more than talking to people at around midnight and even texting them!!! oh my.

But Lesaan if this was always what the ideal man should do... won't it make him overly predictable.

True Lesaan, I agree.

If a mam is not gentlemanly from the onset what are the chances?

heheheheh!!! That's a truly weak line but Wambzz what if you do look familiar?

Ok.. now I'm feeling really guilty.. I'm definitely on of the most active users of varrious extremely corny one liners... Wambzz, you're right, the most absurd is definitely:

"You look familiar"

I don't know where that one came from. However, men have an excuse:

Girls, you just have to understand that when overcome by your sheer beauty and seductive superappeal, a corny line is all we can say to save ourselves from blathering meaningless epithets and leaping on you like horny sex crazed rabbits...

How to Keep the Bedroom Exciting

I'm in turmoil. I'm puzzled about something? How the hell can a man keep a woman happy over the long term? The Problem When a relationship begins everything is extremely intense. The conversations are intense. Every moment spent in each other's presence is dense with electricity between the two. The heat as the lovers gravitate towards each other is so powerful that the only possible response is to rip off each other's clothes to cool the flames of desire. The sex is explosive... nuclear explosive... The man can do no wrong and his love is always dynamic, new, amazing, nasty, different.... When the man says he's coming into town, the girl almost collapses, weak at the knees, loins burning with the rivers of desire as she awaits the tryst. One year down the line, the man calls the woman to tell her he's coming to town and her response is less than stimulating. Her heart doesn't flutter, her breath doesn't get shallow, her cheeks don't get flushed, she...

Weddings

Usually I don't attend weddings, have given them a wide berth for quite a while and wild horses wouldn't have dragged me to one. It was for a simple reason - weddings were all the same, tired! When you didn't know the the bride or groom you didn't care what was going on, all you did was eat - the same menu at each wedding, drink sodas and socialize with friends (the reason you attended in the first place), and chat all thro the entire ceremony. So I made an exception this weekend and attended one, after a 2 year break how bad would it possibly be? And it wasn't really. It was a garden wedding, the service?All of 1 hour, the reverend/pastor, priest? very humorous - in short a beautiful ceremony. The bride was all decked out in a beautiful gown, the bridesmaid in pink, the bridal cars? beautiful mercs - there was a gorgeous convertible we considered jumping into and simply driving away but restrained ourselves. Then came the reception - the food was far from mediocre!...
