Once again, we have proof that once a smartass, always a smartass. ;)

Please allow me to quote a very wise participant of this very thread:

Yes, I like to think of this thread as a thousand points of blight. ;)

There's no such thing as an innocent smiley! I say kill them all before they reproduce and take over the Internet.

I suppose I could live without it since I remain so demurely beneath my hat.....everyone knows I'm innocent :)

I know all about your knitting needles. In my view, you are only innocent until proven quilty.

*groan*

Yank, you don't use knitting needles to quilt; they are used to knit, thus the name :rolleyes:

Did you listen to said momma?

Don't you have a girlfriend to woo somewhere?


Besides, we wouldn't want to risk using up all those bad puns in one night....you might actually find some good ones when they are gone.

:D

O, woo is me. I think that's a good idea.
 
So...

To bring this thread back to its intended purposes after an evening of general revelry (who, along with his aide de camp major confusion, have left the area), let's consider something.

When adults meet who have seen more than a few decades of summers and winters pass by, how important is courtship in fostering a young relationship? Do the flowers and small gifts and goofy phone messages play an important role, or are they merely ceremonial artifacts of when we courted in our earlier years?

What do you think?

I feel that I should come and make a legitimate contribution since I did run your thread off ground last night. Unfortunately, I have nothing of merit to offer on this one. It's been so long since I was "courted" that memory fails. And I am not so sure I was properly courted 20+ years ago anyway :)

Personal opinion...
Maybe more important now... At least more appreciated...
Not the gifts that count, but the fact of getting the attention, for both sides, that has been missing for a long time.

Perhaps you could speculate. If you weren't well courted in the past, would it matter to you to be courted today if the opportunity arose? If so, what sorts of things would make a difference?

I think that I will gracefully bow out, at least for now, on this subject. I'm not sure I am up to dealing with all the worms if I open this particular can :)
