Cutie

[Gribble]

I had lunch with the cutest girl I've ever seen before. She's everything I'd ever fantasized about. Petite. Maybe 5'2. Brunette. Ridiculously cute face. A smile to die for. Laughter that makes the world stand still. Oh, and she showed me the tat she has right above her ass. Normally I don't allow myself to get carried away. Despite my swagger, I keep women at arm's length until they know me and my take on relationships. Obviously I don't get laid as much as I could if I just kept my trap shut and lead women along. With her, though, well, I kinda did keep my trap shut. She's sooooo cute. And I'm pretty sure that with a little time she'll be mine. But I also know that she'd never even think of fooling around if she knew it couldn't possibly lead to a relationship.

Where is my willpower when I need it most?

[vashti]

I fail to see the problem. Do you not WANT to like her?

[Gigabitch]

Is your emotional retardation going to be a problem, here? Maybe this is it, and you'll find out that you CAN fall in love after all!

Wouldn't that be cool?

[Gribble]

Or maybe this infatuation will die out the moment I win her over, so I'll guiltily break up with her so I can go on the prowl for fresh game like I always do.

I hate being the bad guy, but I always am whenever I let myself get involved. I mean, what can I do to change my emotions? I get sweaty palms, my heart skips a beat, I can't get her out of my mind... all that cliched crap. But once I actually have her the emotion just disappears. Either I force myself to be with her or I break up. You know what it's like breaking up with a girl you just got together with? They throw fits, and rightfully so. But they also throw fits when I go from lavishing praise upon them to struggling to feign an interest.

I wish I could like her. In fact, I do like her. Today. Tomorrow, though, that's a different story.

I hope to God my daughter never meets someone like you, wretched Gribble.

You actually remind me quite a bit of a friend of mine from a few years back. We spent a lot of time together just hanging out, it was kind of like dating but I wouldn't even let him kiss me because he was a stinkin' man-whore. He gave up on ever getting in my pants and we had a fantastic time together. All the girls wondered what my secret was, how I got him to keep coming back for more when he left them flat after getting what he wanted. Well, the secret was never to give him anything in the first place.

I hope Cutie does this to you. It was torture for him, but I think he liked it.

[Gribble]

Yeah, so do I. She's too sweet and innocent to deal with my crap.

[The Great OV!!!]

Petite. Maybe 5'2. Brunette. Ridiculously cute face. A smile to die for.

My type.

I don't get it, why is everyone on Gribble's case? just because he doesn't want the relationship?

I think that is why manwhores should set themself a time limit. If by a certain time she had not put out yet then split...this is usually the case...most of them get bored of the chase after a while. This guy had to actually like you.

Exactly. He did. I think he really enjoyed getting to know a girl without doing his usual man-whore thing. It seemed like it was almost a relief.


As for Gribble, I think he's missing out on some important things. He's like a dog on a chain- he can only run so far before he's jerked short and lands on his ass. It's a shame- he's got a lot of boyfriend potential, but it's just not going anywhere.

Sounds like your friend maybe didn't need to get down your pants all that much after all?

I know this may sound funny, but a a doggy chain is there to protect the dog hehe...in a way...the anology works perfect...jerk the dog back before he gets hit by a car...or in this case...before he gets to far down the line into commitment, has money eating kids, and worst if all ...responsibilties he never asked for.

Meh, I don't like man-whores but Gribble doesn't bother me....I have friends like him and I am just simply good at staying away from girls they have been with.

[Gigabitch]

Good point.

[lamarthe]

So Gribble, are you a serial monogamist? A lot of people I know are the same.
I think you too one day will be hits by tsunami wave of love and passion!

[Gribble]

Hah. Ironic use of metaphor, OV, but I like it.

Main thing is I'm normally pretty honest about this stuff. I wasn't with her. It would be so easy not to show my true colors and just do what I want. I really, really wish I didn't have these stupid morals. Then I really would be a man-slut. Sigh. If this goes beyond a single lunch date I'm going to have to let her know how things really are. And girls like her never stick around afterwards.

Makes me wonder, though. Do women ever engage in relationships with guys they know they know will never, ever marry them? Or are relationships just a way of finding that guy who will slip a wedding band on your finger and help you rear children?

Are you serious? they do it all the time.

[lamarthe]

It's amazing what level of stupidity we can reach when we are in love.
Very often, it has nothing to do with common sense.

I am saying serial monogamistbecause I am wondering if it's one at the time
or several at once.

[Gribble]

For the most part it's one at a time. I flirt constantly with any woman who will let me, but eventually one will stand out and I'll pursue her. And then I'll tell her that I'm only interested in being friends, but we can have sex if she wants to. She looks at me funny, tells me thanks but no thanks, then runs off to find a guy exactly like me. Only he doesn't lay it out until after ploughing the old briar patch. I don't know why I bother. I get nothing for my honesty, and yet the snake gets laid all he wants. I should quit caring.
