I met S last night
and he's a wonderful man
nice
successful
interesting
but um -- he blew me kisses at dinner
which was irritating
and embarrassing
and
he pays too many compliments
way too many compliments -- and over the top ones.
I am an average girl
I have completely embrased this
I am not gorgeous
or beautiful
or stunning
and you can on occassion bring one of these out and I will accept it
I will even allow that you feel it
but seriously
if you think that's what wins a plain girl's heart?
you're mistaken.
and at the end
I did kiss him
and
pez dispenser again
Gentlemen -- do not shove your tongue into a girl's mouth and waggle it back and forth
we need oxygen.
seriously we need to spend less time in health class in Jr High talking about nutrition and a bit of time teaching these boys the actual location of your clit and how to kiss.
Cher was right (ok and Betty Everett)
It's in his kiss.
sigh.
ReplyDeletei hear that.
when i was searching...there was a "Dom" who was UBER-effusive. Like...omg. please. Just. Stop.
Master doesn't compliment every moment. Maybe once in a while. He'll always tell me if he likes my outfit when we meet...but when He says it.."You're gorgeous"...i believe coz ...it's not over the top.
Funny that that is such a turn off, isn't it?
But it lacks sincerity if there is too much.
HUGS...
sorry for the bum date.
nilla
There are no words for how disappointing it is when the tongue of death kills our dreams.
ReplyDelete(I'm going "g'eck!" just thinking about it.)
le sigh.
I was thinking of a commencement address based on teaching kids some basic skills to bring to their adult lives. maybe kissing technique should be on the list.
ReplyDeleteAnd although Cher did a cover, wasn't that Leslie Gore? Or was it Dusty Springfield?

ReplyDeleteActually, it's Betty Everett, aka, the "Shoop Shoop" song.
I was going to tell you the same thing I told a friend:
ReplyDeleteYou just have to keep telling yourself you are worth all the gifts and attention.
If you don't receive graciously ( that means without saying...oh you shouldn't have or I didn't need that) then you are saying you don't value your special place in life and that's a hurtfull message to him. He sees value having you in his life so let him shower you with gifts and compliments.
Remember your mantra should be receive, receive, receive.
That was until the kiss comment...nobody wants to attacked by a pez dispenser. The kiss is everything and if that doesn't work then it throws everything off. Find another frog, lol
Good luck
Blech, kiss of death. Kiss of Pez.
ReplyDeleteI love that shoop shoop song, I listen to it in the car with the music cranked way too loud.
Your story about too many compliments speaks to me too. My mom would say he's shy dear, and he sounds nice. Give him a chance.
But what it really made me think was that I used to have a boyfriend who bought me roses too often. He was a pussy. Yeah, I know that's mean, and there could be other interpretations, other views, but really he was! So not the boy for me.
