Well, no one has been having any sex in this thread yet. Not for years, if Marlyn is to be believed. Accusing her of irresponsible promiscuity is frankly, as of right now, unjustified. And, sure, the tension is ramping up, but Iā€™m not holding my breath. Well not anymore. I tried doing that, but I passed out. Itā€™s like _Tristan and Isolde_ so far. Lots of prolonged unresolved cadences, but no money shot. I guess weā€™ll see, but Iā€™m not ordering that Chevy yet. ---

He canā€™t wait to fasterisk you. He knows nothing about you except how you look and that sex chat out of the gate doesnā€™t turn you off. Nothing wrong with that, but donā€™t fool yourself that this is likely the start of a long relationship. ---

I donā€™t particularly see why Cobalt wouldnā€™t be interested in a long term relationship, or a medium term one, or at least something more than a hook-up, even if he is a total jackass. Handing out all those phone numbers to random joggers is a lot of work, surely. Not to mention putting together all that carefully composed sextspeak. When he scores a winner, why would he toss the prize away right away? I admit to not understanding humans or their strange relationships one inch, so yā€™all will have to bear with me. But what would be the benefit of killing a hypothetical golden goose? Wouldnā€™t you keep it around, as long as it lays eggs? Or at least until youā€™re bored with a golden egg diet? ---

If heā€™s adding notches to his steering wheel - the games over as soon as heā€™s hit it. I find it unlikely that heā€™s looking for anything long term - she didnā€™t run away when he mentioned ā€œfreaky sexā€, so he realizes this one might be worth a little more investment - might even get a good video out of it to share. ---

> [@simster](#): > > If heā€™s adding notches to his steering wheel - the games over as soon as heā€™s hit it. Huh? People do that? Donā€™t get me wrong, Iā€™ve had one night hookups and very brief relationships. But in those cases it was a matter of one or both parties not being sufficiently enthralled by the other to justify taking it any further. Iā€™ve certainly not gone into that kind of situation with the mindset that I would dump the partner afterwards, regardless. If I like someone, I tend to want to keep them around. Or, rather, I guess I can understand the idea of wanting to bed someone you already know that you donā€™t particularly like, in which case a one-off would probably be the intention. Iā€™ve been there, too (Iā€™m no saint). But Marlyn and Cobalt havenā€™t interacted enough yet to know whether they like each other. What if it turns out that they do? Would Cobalt be thinking, the next morning, ā€œHereā€™s this nice person whose company I enjoy, and who is eager and willing to engage in freaky sex. Too bad I have to dump her like a hot potato now, since my project is to add notches to my steering wheelā€? That doesnā€™t make sense. ---

Movies as a first date really sucksā€¦ The point is to engage in interactions that allow you to get to know each other and do something enjoyable together, right? A movie really doesnā€™t give you any of that. There has to be a million other things to do. Heck Iā€™d rather just go for a walk than waste 1-2hrs that could have been spent getting to know the other person. Alsoā€¦ what the fuck is up with some of you people? First you fall out of your chair by the fact that someone got a phone number and is going on a date, because obviously this is so of the ordinary that it has to be made upā€¦? Then itā€™s all about how much he fucks, she fucks, they fuck or donā€™t fuck and what a slut he or she is or isnā€™t. Thatā€™s some really sad shit. Tip to the OP: You know what really impresses men on a date? A woman who is calm, relaxed and happy. If you happen to say something funny once in a while that is also a huge bonus, but really, you just need to breathe, relax and be yourself. And we really donā€™t give a crap about your shoes or how your eyebrows look. And you need to realize that there is about a 97%\* chance that he wants to fuck you, and that doesnā€™t depend on your personality. Hell I slept with a girl that was the dumbest person I ever met (when I was his age) just because she was cute. At that age we (men) donā€™t give a damn, we will usually put our dicks into anything that doesnā€™t gross us out. If youā€™re interested in relationships and not just a one-off sexual encounter, I would strongly suggest that you donā€™t sleep with him (including HJā€™s and BJā€™s) on the first date. For some reason we are wired in a way that when we ejaculate, we immediately lose interest in the other person unless weā€™ve built up an emotional connection (which takes time no matter what he says). But really, just be hyper honest about everything and speak your mind. Not playing games is incredibly refreshing and attractive. - I calculate there is a 3% chance something happened that day that puts him totally out of the mood. ---
