"Ah, yes, I somehow KNEW this was coming for us, Chromo...methinks it's more the impish boys within us urging on our school chum BF's repartee with the ladies on the board"
Yes, I do love to be Kingmaker, shall we say. Urge someone else into the fray, take credit for their victories and poke fun at their losses. I'm kidding of course. I'm gradually inserting myself into the fray, but remember, 4 months ago I never even looked a the relationship/sex/etc. section in the bookstore, jumped straight over to the science and nature sections (sometimes sci-fi/fantasy). I working on being someone who can "dance with the big boys", but give me a little time. Everyone watch out though, if my confidence level ever gets close to BF's, I'm likely to take over this board. Of course, if my confidence level gets that high, my wife is going to be so hot for me we'll by fcuking so often that you won't see me for weeks. Anyway, the main point is give me a little time and I'll be more able to offer effective advice/support, and not just a bunch of dittos.
"And I doubt Chromo could either. He's out there in the world mixing with crowds and adventurous activities etc. it seems."
It really depends on the situation. Some parties I hide in the corner (as much as humanly possible, I usually still get dragged somehow to front and center), other parties I am cock of the roost. But you are right that I have held myself back a lot in the past due to my insecurities.
"Knock it off with the chocolate, ladies. I'm alone here and still in love with a woman who could care less about me in the same way. Grr, frustration, grrr (now swooning over Chromo, heh)."
DITTO DITTO DITTO. I encouraged it a little bit, but I regret it now. I doubt my W would ever consent to chocolate/caramel/anything being put on her body as a sexual act. GRRRR! Or should I say ROAR!!!! This lion is hungry.
It does give me an idea for a new poll. The problem is I think I'm going to hate the results of that poll. Oh well, sometimes you gotta face the hurt, eh.
