“He better be eating that pussy.”. 
A REAL MAN doesn’t question the logic.
by Eugene Fitch Ware ( 1841 – 1911).
He and She
When I am dead you’ll find it hard,
Said she,
To ever find another girl
Like me.
What makes you think, as I suppose
You do,
I’d ever want another girl
Like you?
(Slight changes made so that it makes sense.)
Original had the genders reversed:
If she still finds it hard when he’s dead, what more could she want?
<d&r>
Like I said, it makes more sense my way.
Actually, my read is that it is WAY more aggressive than passive.
It is up there with “If you love me, prove it!” to demand sex.
If I need to be something other than what I am, or act in a way I do not feel comfortable to act, then I guess you are not my “Other Half”.
I this, or any other, life. :smack:
I think a better way to put it would be:
“Relationships need time and space to grow, and if you try to rush things to the next level before your partner is ready, you may push them away and you are opening yourself up to being hurt. If you are consistently giving more than you are getting, take a step back, pay attention to where your partner is at in the relationship, and go from there.”
I see a lot of my single friends, both men and women, thinking that if they just give enough, they can make a relationship work. So they assume they are exclusive after the second date, while their partner hasn’t made that promise and is probably on Tindr on their nights off. They do things like answer booty calls or rearrange their plans for last-minute dates, or accept cancellations without blinking, while at the same time not setting these same boundaries for themselves. They spend hours cooking special dinners, and then are surprised when they don’t get that level of devotion back.
And people generally take what they are given. Anyone is going to take that kind of attention, even as they get more and more turned off by the lack of boundaries and scent of neediness. So you end up with a dynamic where the more one person pulls away, the more the other gives, until the whole thing eventually ends in hurt feelings and resentment.
All of which could be avoided by just periodically checking in with where your partner is at.
Fucking Facebook.
Even if you don’t have an account you still get inundated with its inanity.
I would need to know what she means by “acting like a boyfriend” before I can decide if being treated like a boyfriend is worth it.
I swear, if I am ever single again, I am in a world of hurt. I have not one single clue on how it is done nowadays. Fortunately, I don’t do Facebook so I will miss all these helpful hints.

It’s everywhere! Facebook, I mean.
Tell me about it.
We have a federal election this October in Canada and one particular person (yes, only one) keeps posting stuff that just irks the hell out of me.
I’ve learned from the SDMB though that I don’t need to correct everyone on the internet with whom I disagree, so I just let it pass. But holy fuck it’s annoying.
You could write an entire doctoral thesis on the game theory implications of this scenario.
There you go. Now, spam all your facebook friends with it and enjoy the metaness.
