Think outside the box?
I read somewhere that women should consider sending a thank you gift after a first date. I’ve never done this personally, but I imagine that is a surefire way to make a great impression. Maybe more women should think outside the box when it comes to dating?
Guys, what would you do if someone gave you a thank you gift because she really enjoyed the date you planned for her?
Ladies, have you ever felt compelled to send a note or thank you gift after a really fantastic date? Would you feel uncomfortable reciprocating a man’s effort that soon after your dating relationship began?
We all can get in dating ruts from time to time! What are some unique ways to think outside the box when it comes to dating?
Happy Friday!

HHey gang!
Kimmie your 10:19 was an interesting take on the situation…I didn’t think of that but it’s definitely plausible…
On topic: I think a card or note thanking a person for a wonderful date is a very nice gesture…I think a “gift” may smack of desperation(kinda anyway) or thirstiness or could possibly be misinterpreted that way. If/as the relationship progresses then gifts may then be deemed approriate…IMO..

DuShawn ~ I stand corrected, it was a fridge and stove. Yes sir, I remember simply because it was such a nice and noble gesture you did that day. You really helped her out and I have no doubt she’s paying it forward to this day. I believe in “paying it forward.” So, you fixing her broken window on the spot wouldn’t have me bat an eyelash. I know you in that regard. KUDOS!

Since yall are on the topic of neck acting, are there any men out there that aren’t afraid to admit they like lickin cooters?? I had a debate with a guy a long time ago and he said no guy really likes doing it. They only do it for the favor they’ll get in return or to be able to keep dippin in that vadge lol

leggs – not to be contrary but it could be the neckwork that keeps him gentlemanly. lol. sort of like some kind of twisted circle of life. without the neckwork he gets grouchier and uptight and less likely to do the gentlemanly things that would result in him receiving more neckwork. okay, I’m done trying to talk in circles.

SlimNu ~ I know you’re asking a serious question, but I laughed. I know many who love the honey box. I know some who does it, but don’t really enjoy it…take Ex for example. Now, take swiss, who seems to love it. I’m cracking up…
“…not to be contrary but it could be the neckwork that keeps him gentlemanly.” – Nope, it’s empathy at its finest. It’s naturally in the fiber of ones’s being.

“I had a debate with a guy a long time ago and he said no guy really likes doing it”
Slim — Of course, it is always cooter-dependent, but for nice, hygienic cooters, I don’t just enjoy licking them, I relish worshiping those m___f___rs….
As some female comedian (whose name I forget) said, “you don’t need a pill to get your d__k hard. There’s stuff you can eat to do that. It’s called p_ssy.”

I read that story earlier today, SlimNu. She had more love for her husband than she did her own child. To take out another child because she witnessed the crime is inhumane because no way she could possibly have believed she wouldn’t get caught.

Swiss…come on man how do u grade hygienic cooter? – First, there’s the smell test. Second, there’s the visual, then third the taste test. But, 1 and 2 must pass before 3. Not smart/healthy to just jump to #3.
Ummm, to come think about it, guess an answer would be better from a man (ok, I’m laughing all the way to the cafeteria).

Bluz- I liken this to old people who still refer to me as “colored.” He is 91 and I think those folks are in a class by themselves; I usually give them half a pass (black, white, whatever). Notice, I said half a pass, because certain things can still get your cane kicked out from under you.

“but licking is almost better than sticking!!!”
Okay, now even I wouldn’t go that far… But the sticking is definitely better after a nice. long, titillating licking session… Most women seem to be pretty much the opposite of men in this respect — the more they cum, the more they want. Whereas, I usually would just be ready for a nap after a good nut…
