I remember watching my mother slice up potatoes in order to make REAL mashed potatoes and marveling that she didn't cut off a finger. The same was true when she sliced tomatoes.

We were taught that, when slicing, you should ALWAYS have the knife blade facing away from you.

Why is it that women slice with the knife blade facing their fingers?

​

​

because it's the best way to slice.

silly.

I knew there was no way I was going to prevail in this discussion.

things actually turned into decent conversations. at least from my perspective. i never have liked debates, but some things are worth voicing your opinions over.

Or you've heard someone yell "oh fuck" from the kitchen and had to put your nursing skills to the test. Good times.

Stickers for voting? That's like getting a certificate for playing youth soccer. Hell, "youth" anything these days.

This is why I drink.

.......

And eat whoopee pies.

And I have the scars to prove it.

How many signals do you give a shy guy before giving up? He's such a nice guy, but he moves way too slow!

You could always ask - some guys aren't very good at picking up clues, or otherwise second-guess themselves for fear of gettin their hopes up. But I also wouldn't say you're required to, either. If old boy later wants to complain that you "friendzoned" him (such a ridiculous bullshit claim, btw), you can always be like "Hey man, I gave you the opportunity." I dunno. That's just my take.

you make the move yourself. the look in their eyes is one you'll never forget.

A blowjob is a decent signal. So's the naked Captain Morgan pose.

It's time for more proactive tactics.

Undo another button and lean in more over the wine glass as he's talking.

Just ask him what's up. As a man who is completely inept at reading signals, i can relate to his dumbassery. Just ask him if he's into you. If not then move on.

Sometimes we need a brick in the face.

Ha. I might get the hint then. Maybe.

 

[dolf]

pft!

in the middle of the conversation, lean forward and kiss him.

Thanks. I have been seeing him for three weeks and have made several moves of my own, and he has been receptive, but the next time we get together, it's as if we are back to the starting line. I have been with two other guys, and had them ready from day one. We talk about friendships and relationships and I have flat out told him that I want to be with him and spend time with him. His shyness and lack of aggressiveness is going to be a deal breaker.
