You're reminding me of a sublime moment in The Purple Rose of Cairo where Jeff Daniels, whose character recently walked directly off of the screen and into a movie house, is courting Mia Farrow. He goes in for a kiss, and then is startled and says, "wait...where's the fade?"
Oh how I love that movie a thousand ways.
I did date. But I got say that the giddy stage , wasn't giddy. It was too fraught. And not much with the wild sex. Because sex is better if I know someone well.
I think dating would be very different now, but I really have no desire to experience it.
And the want sex flag would be good, esp. if the answer flag was something like -- not today , but maybe next week ( esp in the situation Hil is talking about )
oh, yeah, that is great, Java.
One time I found some blank white magnets. I drew a chessboard on one and made two more into a king and a queen. If I was interested in sex, I put the queen on the board. You get the idea. It worked pretty well.
That must have been one roomy refrigerator.
Laga, that's neat! I would do that in a comfortable relationship, to be coy.
I never knew how to deal with the "OK, what is he really expecting, here?" question. I'm in awe of people who can navigate those waters without capsizing. I had very little social conditioning in either recognizing cues or sending the right ones. I'm still not real good at it. It's gotten me into trouble more than once.

Nothing. Well, in my case, anyway. For every woman I've slept with, the first time we slept together it was initiated by the woman, and it was always a surprise to me.
Not sure what that means.

This right here is why the idea of trying to meet people (dating-wise) scares the liver out of me.

Ditto. Is there a class? Ya know, it would really help with the self confidence thing too, which I lack, in a serious way!
As soon as I Rip Off That Bandaid, of course.
:: confused :: so? Um? soon to be single then??
I haven't had a date in ages but it's not like I'm going to start now. "Hi, I'm unemployed! Wanna go for coffee?"
Sure.
I realize now, I've had a number of first dates. And they all really sucked. I've had a number of "I'm wanting this to be a date, oh shit, you didn't catch that vibe, right, I'm not sure how to send that vibe, oh crap this is awkward" dinners. But not that many relationships. And all with psycho's in one way or another.
ND, but you are way more self-confident than ... well, me and practically anyone I know
Ya, now that you have the most awesomist woman in the world, I'm wondering if you can bottle some of that self confidence.
Ya, still nervous about Sunday. Yup. Guess that means I'm human, right?

You're a good kisser, if that helps!
