Saying “I love you”
If you have ever experienced the euphoria of “falling” for someone you probably remember the exact moment when you wanted to tell them. Saying I love you, dropping the L word…it can be a pretty big step. The seconds that follow can pretty much determine the course of how a relationship will proceed.
What do you do when you have said those three words and the person isn’t ready to say them back?
Have you ever had someone tell you they loved you way too early? Why do we get so weirded out when that happens?
What is the best and worst time to say I love you to someone you are dating?
If you are in a relationship, how often do you tell the person you love them?

2CPTG, if I were him I would smoke during performing oral sex on her, just to get her trained. Lick, lick, lick suck, hum, come up for air take a puff and go back down releasing the smoke in her. LOL

Yeah he done hit her with that “southern” comfort and broke her down. Hard for a lot of ladies to refuse that.

I feel sorry for the woman not interested in fe ll a tio or cunnilingus.
@PR ~ I heard it has many medicinal rewards.
@2C ~ he probably asked her out of respect moreso than permission. You know like “would you mind if I did this this one last time”…ok, that’s still asking permission.

One lesson I will regularly instill in my daughter is men will read you, learn to manipulate you then to do whatever he wants. I have been got before. Fell hard for the okie doke.
Dude knew when she asked him to read the bible together all the while letting him run up in her every which way from here to Timbuktu he had her under his weed thumb.
It pays to be a little mysterious. Keeping ‘em guessing.

Leggs, him asking was not out of respect that was him giving her what she wanted to hear. LOL Making her feel good. I know you remember those days way back when. LOL
Men are vipers. They be talking that crap all the while going to do what the want to do anyway. He could have just as well smoked his herbs somewhere else. He asked her to give her a sense of empowerment.
He is wrong but I have to give him his daps. LOL

@Raqi V ~ I certainly agree with you on the “sense of empowerment” stance. He is definitely playing with her min, heart and honey pot for future encounters. He’s letting her think she’s in control when in fact he’s the puppetmaster. Darling, yes I do remember. We have all been got! Some still don’t see the light and some of us do!

2CPTG, exactly.
That’s why I don’t women that are afraid to ask a guy for something or to take her to run an errand.
Being a single mother I had issue with it when the guy and I were not relating. But once the relating started if my kid needed a new baseball glove and we were passing the store on the way to wherever…hey stop me by Sports Authority so I can run in there and pick up something for my kid. I wasn’t asking him to pay but I knew he was pretty much onboard because the loving was on the regular.
And any man that took any type of ‘tude when it came to my kid, us sexing or not, he had to go.

Purple, both parties equally. If and when you want to be in a real grown up relationship, get rid of your tools of manipulation.
She obviously tried to entrap him with “love” and the bible while he tried to entrap her with “loving” and given authority.

Raqi, I don’t think he wanted to be in a grown up relationship at all. But I think they both are at fault to an extent. But from a man’s point of view there are some women you know that will buy whatever we are selling then there are some who let it be known that I am not buying a thing.

Just stepped back, haven’t read the entire thread, but
as to the Bible reading stuff
My ex (mr holer than everybody), used to tell me the OT folks had concubines and therefore he could have multiple affairs. Didn’t seem to care much about the whole adultry thing. If I complained, then he said I wasn’t ’submitting’ to his authority.
What a load of crap.
