quote:Newman wrote, "Hey, who's bogarting those peyote buttons? How come I didn't get one? Is it because I'm not in the popular clique? Sigh..."
Clique? Huh? What do you mean? I'm with Karuuna, it's interesting that you fault the date for not making a move when it's entirely possible that she's thinking the same thing. Why isn't HE making a move? Does HE like me? HE's laid his head on my lap but HE didn't try to kiss me? WHY NOT? Further, as Landi pointed out, because society's teachings (though it is changing), women will rarely make that first move. When you've been subjugated because of your gender, being aggressive sexually is difficult. In my experience, there's also the assumption that if a woman makes the first move then she's a sl*t. I don't agree with that notion, but that perception does exist; I've encountered it myself. Perhaps on a future date, when those questions start going through your head, try to keep in mind that she's probably having those same questions too.

I imagine the clique thing was a joke. Kidding, being silly. That's how I read it. Probably because it's just the kind of thing I would say. I do agree that there are still some societal perceptions that a sexually assertive woman is some kind of nympho. Perhaps our reticence to initiate because of that may very well lend to a misperception that we don't like sex as well also.

Glen, I laughed so hard I scared my sleeping dogs...that was great... Jimmer,thats what happened with my friend, it was sad to, cause we were such great friends, and when he wanted it to be more, It wasnt there for me , I understand why he had to move along..I really do, But it was still sad... and Newman, as far as the lap, I kinda layed out my sceane there for you, and I was waiting for the kiss....depending on the kiss...any thing could have happened..a "good" kiss is like fire, and every one knows, fire travels fast.

More on What in the Sam Hill Link also... The explanation of "Sam Hill" is actually pretty simple -- it's an early 19th century American euphemism for "hell" used as an oath. Perhaps due to our Puritan ancestry, Americans have always been especially creative when it comes to inventing linguistic detours around oaths and blasphemies. "Heck," "drat," "darn," "gosh," "jiminy," "gee-whiz" and "goldarn," for example, all started out as euphemisms for exclamations of surprise or rage no newspaper would print and no proper dinner table conversation would tolerate. To digress a bit, I have always wondered whether Walt Disney knew, when he christened his little cartoon creation "Jiminy Cricket," that the name was a rather transparent euphemism for the blasphemous oath "Jesus Christ." Because the euphemism "Sam Hill" is also a perfectly good real name, many people assume that the phrase must have originally referred to a real person. A reader wrote me several years ago, wondering if he might have uncovered the "original" Sam Hill in the person of Samuel Hill (1857--1931), a lawyer, financier and railroad magnate known in the Northwest U.S. as "the Father of Good Roads." After doing a little checking, however, I can say with certainty that while Mr. Hill may have been famous for many things, he was not the source of this phrase. In fact, "What in the Sam Hill" was in widespread use by 1839, quite a few years before this particular Sam Hill was born.

Well, I suppose having a board administrator say you bring the conversation to a whole new (low) level followed by that little smack clipart would bother some people but I am going to put a positive spin on the wink clipart and continue like nothing happened.

Uh why are you asking me that? And yes I've read the book and seen the movie.

I haven't kept up with this thread too much, but I am half watching TV right now and thought of this thread when I saw part of A BEAUTIFUL MIND when Russell Crowe asks a lady in a bar something like "What do I need to say so we can have intercourse?" Then he said something like it's really just about fluid exchange. I thought it was amusing...

Well Pamy, I may could coach you on achieving that, if it is a goal you have. I would do it gratis because I have always liked you. Thank you Juju for the validation.

I dont think hes pouting..I think he loves getting this thread on a roll, and then he goes to work and we have to wait for ever for him to get home....so Put your feet up,drink a beer, and get back with us....weve been having a blast with your lap story and some of us more than others... I also learned alot about euphemism's, I actually remember my father saying that, but he said "what in Sam Hell", today is the first time I ever heard the real story behind it...so that was kinda cool..thanks for the research..

My eyes are sore. So much reading. I'm used to just scanning addresses. Chewpito, I think you hit it best, from my perspective, about the lap story (and Glenn, that was face up FYI). You know you people could show a little more sensitivity toward Newman, when he gets vulnerable and all, and provides a topic for discussion. Just a thought... Chewpito, your post of Mar 4 at 11:15am put it best. Signals. When I put my head in her lap, if memory serves me well, and in fact I'm not sure this ever really happened, and it's starting to take on legendary proportions, but...I was expecting a signal in return. Like, as Chewpito said, like stroking my head or hair with her hand or something. But I got nothing and I don't think I kept it there very long either. Non-verbal signals can be just as effective (or better) than verbalisms. I remember one time, being at a rock concert, at Red Rocks, Eric Clapton. I was with a friend, who I was hoping to change into a girlfriend. I'm sure the usual amounts of beer or wine and pot were flowing and the music was great, the night was beautiful. I hugged her from behind when the moment seemed right and she stiffened like a board. OooooooohKayyyyyyyyyyy. Message sent. Message received. I'll end with that great movie with Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal, "When Harry Met Sally." Somewhere in there Billy is telling Meg that it's pretty much impossible for men and women to be "just friends." Because if the woman is beautiful, he says, you want to have sex with her. And if she's not, well, you want to nail her too! That is something you would say in your 20s, an honest male perspective. Is it really any different as a baby boomer? I think Yesitsme wrote the check yes or no, pass notes post. Do we ever really get beyond that? As mature adults we like to think we do...

Yesitsme, I have to say, when I read your 8:13am post, from archive Mar 4, I burst out laughing. You were being really sensitive and vulnerable and opening up, you know, like I do, and talking about some guy asking you out on a date, might have got your last name wrong, he was so cute and wonderful, how could he be asking YOU out, so you hemmed and hawed and it never happened. Well, all I could think about is that if you just had had a few beers, and could have just relaxed a little (I guess you woulda had to drink in a hurry, on the phone and all), well, the whole thing mighta turned out differently. Hmmmm...this is an example when something seemed funnier when it happened in an instant than when you try to explain it, LOL.
