So my question becomes: Is it ever acceptable to want your partner to mind read? Can I want it but just not reserve the right to become pissy if he doesn't catch my brainwaves I'm throwin at him?




Sure, that's OK to want that. Isn't it usually WOMEN who always say "Well, if YOU don't know, then I'm CERTAINLY not going to TELL you!"

I feel for you, HP. Wanting

I want a lover who will, occasionally, show me his desire first. And I don't want to have to 'draw' those feelings out of him.


is perfectly understandable, to ME anyway, and I don't think us HDHs and HDWs part company at all on that issue. At least I don't!

Choc.

The door's open but the ride ain't free
I know you're waitin' for words that I ain't spoken
Tonite we'll be free, all the promises will be broken
But there's ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away . . .
