Re Love Actually... I do like the bit where the PM sticks it up the US President, although Obama has just visited Australia and charmed the pants off the country. Maybe it was just Bush that made my skin crawl with his evil misguided extremist christian bumbling? My favourite dialog in the movie is:
Daisy: [excited] We've been given our parts in the nativity play. And I'm the lobster.
Karen: The lobster?
Daisy: Yeah!
Karen: In the nativity play?
Daisy: [beaming] Yeah, first lobster.
Karen: There was more than one lobster present at the birth of Jesus?
Daisy: Duh.
zany, now you know I'm quite fond of you and fantasise about you from time to time but Forrest bloody Gump! My daughter likes that one and also I Am Sam. I'm afraid I have no patience with simpletons so both movies just annoyed the utter shit out of me. Re dating... I am going to back right off for a while. The quiet one was a suggestion by a mutual friend so I went along with it, but the plan is to leave things until the new year and reassess.
stay, they say men love the women they have sex with whereas women have sex with the men they love. It's a generalisation but I think it has some merit. Maybe it would be better if we asked for "uncomplicated sex" rather then "casual sex"? Some years ago I met a woman on PoF. We didn't click as such but stayed mates on FB and months later she rang and said she was bored and asked if I'd be up for some no strings attached uncomplicated sex. It was a one off, the sex was great, and the friendship has survived.
hates, I think we all pretend to ourselves that the possibility of a relationship is at least on our radar so we keep that option open until all boxes are either ticked or crossed. If the quiet one had been less needy and clingy, hadn't had an annoying voice, and if we'd been more compatible sexually maybe it would have been a goer... maybe not... but it took a couple of weeks to arrive at that outcome even though I felt it was always heading that way. I don't see myself as a player, but if I meet someone and sex is offered as it quite often is I'm not going to knock it back but with experience I've found myself backing away because it can come back and bite you fair in the arse. I'm not commenting on anyone on here, but there are women who think 'cos they bonk you the deal is signed, sealed and delivered now let's go pick curtains!
