Dating perks: The gushy stuff
As much as I hear single people proclaim their love of being free, those same people will completely trade it all in to be with someone great. Single life has its moments, but how awesome is it to meet someone and be caught up in the haze of “love”..be honest!
That butterfly feeling you get when you see them calling. The naughty thoughts you have about them during the day. Waking up next to a person who literally makes you feel like you can conquer the world…all that gushy stuff is FUN.
What do you think are the perks of dating a great match? Do you enjoy the getting to know you part the most? Do you relish slipping into a comfortable routine with one another and merging lives the best?
Sometimes, it’s the little things that you get those gushy feelings over! What’s your favorite?
Guys – we know you get that gushy feelings too – no judgment, though! What is your favorite thing about a new romance?
Happy Friday!

ITL – Heyal yeah! I never understood that. And don’t order a hot tea or coffee because that’s like 5 mo plates. One for the cream, one for the coffee cup, not to mention the napkin with the dirty fork, knife and spoon on it. Maybe they get commission on the use of plates for one table

Jake — Thanks for the tip, man. I’ll have to check that out.
ITL — Uh, yeah, I was kind of giving the side-eye to that, too… But for the record, the first and ONLY salad I’ve ever tossed is Mrs. Swiss’. Never known any other chick I’d deem hygienic enough for that, until her. But for her…. I’m all up in there…

When going to WH, I always ask for a hot cup of water and place my silver in it.

That’s funny, Leggs. Whenever I go to a WH, I ask for all the empty cups & place my sack in them.

ITL — Aw, c’mon, what’s wrong? We’re talking about all the lovey-dovey gushy stuff today, right? Nothing says “love” like sticking your tongue up your woman’s hoo-ha.

hmm. blog banner says john edward is coming to atlanta. interesting.
leggs, i always wipe down my silverware before eating at any restaurant but especially places like waffle house. i also freely pass around the hand sanitizer. *shrugs*
never really thought about weird looks coming my way but, yeah, i think sterilizing their stuff is on a whole other level.

That’s excellent, SlimNu. I haven’t been to a WH in quite some time. They probably instituted that practice after me.

and somehow try to apply that logic to my own profession, this is what i get; let’s give a new tenant keys to their suite AND automatically hand them a complete set of new locks/keys for after their first break-in.

Maybe, Leggs. I just can’t think of any really cute words for the back door. And rightly so, I think.

Now, now, ITL… Don’t fret. Someday some dude will be smitten enough to give you a proper back door tongue lashing, too. And when he does, you’ll think it’s a beautiful thing…

Since you’re so close to the ground, won’t need no hook. Hell if I know.
