Funny pick-up lines

Being a challenge and being a jerk are two different things! I don't want a man to be falling all over himself for me. I like to work for what I have. When a guy is too nice it seems like he's desperate and doesn't have a life. I hate it when a man will drop whatever he's doing to answer to my beck and call. That doesn't mean that I want a man to completely ignore me , but if he's doing something important like spending time with his family, working, or even saving the world, I'd understand and wait my turn! The perfect way to get a girl is to give her just enough attention to keep her content, but also knowing when to pull back a bit so that she doesn't get too spoiled. I love a man who can say no to me when I want too much, but who can give me everything when I don't even ask for it. Does that make any sense?

This makes sense. To me it does anyway, my soon to be ex-wife on the other hand has a different opinion.
 
Still going through that, huh? Sorry to hear. Things will blow over soon enough and then you can move on with your own life. Maybe then you can find someone better suited for you. Good luck with everything, Stutters, hang in there.:)

Right! I've never had a girlfriend who maintained patience while I was busy saving the world! :D

Once again, you show an amazing amount of wisdom! My question is, how do I find a woman who works this way? Guys don't want to feel that increased sensitivity demasculates them. So many women I've met want to have their cake and eat it, too.

What I mean by this: If I want to play golf every other weekend, I'm "disinterested". If I have flowers delivered every two weeks, "something's up". I believe over-analysis is the byword of relationship discontinuity. I'm glad you see the balance of life, priority and the male creature, Ari.

Could you sell a book or something?
:D

Gee, Syz, you make it sound like I have all the answers to relationship woes! I'm so far from it... Anyway, if my guy wanted to play golf every weekend, I'd want to go with him to see if we could enjoy that together. (I've never played.) If it was something he wanted to go do by himself or with his buddies, I'd be okay with that, too, unless it was at midnight and he was wearing an awful lot of cologne, know what I mean?

I like getting flowers, too, but I've only gotten them once from my boyfriend at my graduation. If he all-of-a-sudden started buying them all the time, I would be concerned that something was up. If he bought them regularly, I wouldn't even notice. Either way, I wouldn't accuse him of anything unless there was real hard evidence for it. I'd just be on my guard a bit more than usual. I've been cheated on before, and, looking back, I realize that there were so many clues. I was too naive and trusting. This is not to say that I'm extremely suspicious now, just a little more carefull.:)

Naah...You just recognize the necessity of balance for personal and shared time and are able to deal with your own life, independently, while adjusting reasonably for that of your partner's.

Hey waitaminit! Those are all the answers! :D

Hmmm..."golf" would be a pretty lame excuse, under those circumstances...

I've always bought flowers, so when I started being bombarded by jealous reactions to roses all of a sudden, I didn't understand it. When my wife ran off with another guy, I finally got the message. She must have felt guilty about what she was doing. Ah, well.

And people want to know how I can enjoy living alone!
:D
 
Oh no! I didn't know that happened to you! I'm so sorry to hear, but more sorry for her than for you. After all it was her loss... she must be crazy to leave a guy like you!

Why thank you! I appreciate the kind words. :)

Funny thing though, the breakup was ludicrous! She did some deeply personal stuff that took me a long time to get over.

Anyway, as I've said before, it's only a matter of time before I find the woman of my dreams. She's out there thinking a sexy bald guy like me couldn't possibly exist! Meanwhile I'm chillin'... :D

I'm hanging in there...Filed the papers with the court today, the 3rd. One step closer to getting on with my life.

At least I can say now that I know why she wants this...See, she wouldn't tell me right away why, she just figured I didn't need to know exactly.

Next stop, single life and cleaning up my condo...
