Ups and Downs

[Dia]

Well, with conflicted people - not sure this is specific to women - you have to understand that you'll be hearing from whichever side of 'conflicted' is on top at the time.

If it's the "I'm outta here" side, you get real estate listings. If it's the "But (maybe) I (still) love him and dayum he's hot" side, you get kisses and LM.

And yes, it can turn on a dime. Never said it was easy to deal with, but that's about how it goes.

Dude, conflicted is way better than I hate you and will never touch you or live with you again. One way of lookin at it at least.

So I should sleep with her best GF and it will fix it all?

See, I told you I couldn't speak female

Damn Straight!

Kind of a take it and like it attitude. Works for me!

You just summed up my whole thread in less than two sentences!

Only if you feed each other chocolate at the same time. Sheesh. How many times do I have to say this??

My goal has been to make sure I don't give her any reasons to want to turn to the dark side. I'm really trying to be as good of a guy as I can be.

(I damn near bought her a coffee maker for her new place that I saw on sale today. I couldn't bring myself to do it though)

My male to female dictionary wonders...dark chocolate or milk chocolate? I say dark. It's sweeter.

Wait...I'm out of her GF's league. I could do better.

Just checked in at Breakaway's thread. Dia - you and your friends are killing me this week!

Met with lingerie in the kitchen? Sex and chocolate? You guys need to have a talk with my W!

FWIW, dark chocolate all the way, and buy the good stuff, not Hershey's. I believe Lindt makes a bar that comes in a cardstock wrapper and consists of individual pieces about the size of your thumbnail that are perfect for placing in your lover's mouth.

Don't go for almonds, toffee or other crunchies even if your W likes these as the crunching sound tends to be a mood spoiler and Almond Roca leave MAJOR crumbs in the bed.

A tub of good, dark chocolate frosting is perfect on strawberries or anything that vaguely resembles a strawberry. The frosting is better than hot fudge or chocolate syrup b/c the mess is more controllable. Frosting doesn't drip or run.

To set the stage, arrange the strawberries on a plate or a tray with the frosting in the middle, then leave the plate on the bed. Light a few candles. Etc.

There, +3 to female communication skills. <grin>


Edit: Oh, and nix on the coffee maker, no matter how cheap. Giving her that (or any other housewarming gift) is tantamount to saying "F you and get the he77 out of here."
