Never met the lady, don’t know what she looks like, and do **not** care. For some reason, when a lady calls me that, it makes me want to… write bad poetry for her, bring her breakfast in bed with a vase containing a white rose, give her a massage, play my guitar and sing off key, take her to The Nutcracker and not fall asleep, dress up in her favorite colors, fix her favorite dinner with a table set with a magnum of her favorite champagne, undress her with my eyes (when appropriate), buy lingerie from _Victoria’s_ by myself, care for her when she’s not feeling well, and bundle her up when she’s cold. Yes, I’m a fool for love. And I melt at the word **Darling**. Sue me. 😃 Q (Just wasted another of my rationed posts, didn’t I?;)) ---

I once dated a guy just because he called me “Dahlin’”. And he smelled like fabric softener. ---

I was wild for a guy who called me “Doll”. Just wild for him. For a brief moment. He was a baaaaad boy. ---

Heh, is that not the best, Quasi? And you’re right, looks don’t matter but IMHO Scotticher is extremely easy on the eyes. ---

Hey! I ain’t got no crush, all right? I do not know what came over me! It mayhap was a flashback to **Guys and Dolls** or something of that nature, but I am back to my old ugly bad-ass self now, so gimme a drink of milk in a dirty shot-glass! 😃 Please?. [thinks to himself] They’re baiting me into posting 3K before my December 23rd anniversary. Ain’t gonna work though! I still got 2 posts left! [/thinks to himself] 😃 Q ---

Heh. I know what you mean, **Quasimodem**. On this other forum I post to, one of our few female posters called me a gentleman for being the only guy in the thread that wasn’t trying or joking about trying to get into her pants. It was one of the nicest things that I’ve ever heard said about me. It made me few a lot like [this](http://crap.jinwicked.com/?j=2). ---

Darling schmarling. **Quasimodem** has offered to french kiss _all_ the Australian and New Zealand dopers! :eek: I just hope he doesn’t change it to a German kiss, as the mind boggles. ---

Speaking as a guy from the fine Southern states, nothing works better on the right kind of girl than drawling out “darlin’.” ---

Ahhh Darlin. Yup gotta be the softest, silkiest, word in the English vocabulary. Right after “honey I got a new book for you!” 😃 ---

**Quasi** : She called me Sweetie. Um, Dude. Ya’ wanna’ ride-share out to the Pacific Northwest? I mean, _Both_ of us can’t lose, right? _One_ of us is gonna’ get the prize, 50% ain’t bad odds and gas prices are headin’ lower. My truck’s got new tires, but the steering’s a little loose. What kinda’ shape is your vehicle in? I can leave Sunday morning. (Not trying to bait you into posting again or anything) 😃 ---

Oh **Quasi** , I love it when you bring the Cherman accent out. Du bist eine Schveetie. You reminded me of a birthday card I bought WAY ahead of time but just had to get it for my German friend born in May. Front, in German-ish font: _Es ist Ihr Birthday!_ Inside, also in German-ish font: _Gettin sie down with your bad selfen!_ She’s going to LOVE it. ---

So, today is my day off and I usually sleep in. But today, I thought I had better set my alarm so as not to miss anything special that might be happening. Here is an account of my special morning. 7AM…Alarm went off. Ran downstairs to brush my teeth…just in case someone was planning on bringing me breakfast in bed. Checked to make sure an empty bud vase was sitting there on the counter. It was. Ran back upstairs and carefully placed my bed tray on the other side of my double bed. Realized I had forgotten my cassette recorder, which I needed just in case someone was planning on serenading me with bad poetry and off-key music whilst I was eating said breakfast in bed. (I wanted to be able to record this magical moment. ) Ran downstairs and got cassette recorder. Ran back upstairs and got it all set up. Waited. Talked to the cat and gave her kitty skritches. Talked to her some more. Got yelled at by said cat, who wanted to eat. (YAY!!!..sorry, long story.) Got up, ran downstairs and fed the cat. Ran back upstairs. Got settled again. Waited. Waited. Ran back downstairs for a book. Ran back upstairs. Got settled. Read an entire book. Gave up. Got dressed, bundled _MYSELF_ up and went outside into the cold, cruel world. Unbreakfasted in bed, unsung to, having heard NO bad poetry and without massage. Just HAD to get my hopes up, dintcha’? 😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/scotticher-called-me-darling/214301.md?page=2)
