> [@Glassy](#): > > So you people all seem to know a lot about relationships. I’ve got this problem with my man. You see, he wants to put my love upon a shelf. I said, “Baby, why you wanna treat me this way? I’m still your lover. I still feel the same way.” But he just told me a story about free milk and a cow. :rolleyes: > > What should I do? I want him real bad and I’m about to give in. Oh, I had the same problem! See… I wanted her real bad, and I was about to give in. That’s when she started talkin’ ‘bout true love! Started talkin’ 'bout sin! Well, I said “Honey, I’ll be with you for the rest of my life!” But _she_ said “No hoogie-noogies, see, 'til you make me your wife!” So I said, “My honey, may baby, don’t put my love up on no shelf!” She said “Don’t give me no lines, and keep _your hands to yourself_!” :smack: ---

Yes, **Loopydude** , that is very like the problem I had with my guy. It’s really amazing how similar our experiences are. So one day we were playing gin by a crackling fire, I decided to make my play. I said, “Babe, with my girlish charming good looks, how can you stand it for one more day?” He suggested that maybe it was the skeevy look in my eye, and implied that my mind had turned to applesauce. And he said something about the dreary architecture of my soul. I said, “So what is it exactly turns you off?” He didn’t go for it. Men. ---

Late at night, you’re taking me home. You say you want to stay, I say I want to be alone. I say I don’t love you, but you know I’m a liar. Because when we kiss, oooh, fire. ---

> [@Loopydude](#): > > So I said, “My honey, my baby, don’t put my love up on no shelf!” But since no man does it all by himself, I said: “Young man, put your _pride_ on the shelf. And just go there, to the YMCA. I’m sure they can help you today.” ---

I remember what you told me before you went out on your own, “Sometimes to keep it together, we got to leave it alone.” So you can get on with your search, baby, and I can get on with mine, and maybe someday we will find that it wasn’t really wasted time. ---
