Jeanne is OTM.

Personally I dont' think I'd ever know what to do with a book of coupons, I'd never use them.

Ooh yes jeanne, definitely!

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 13:46 (twenty-one years ago)

If you are going to cook her a meal, make sure you go the whole way & dress up in a suit aswell.

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 13:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd be too busy laughing my ass off to slow dance with anyone.

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Cooking while in the suit can be a trouble, though.

(I am getting better at making tomato sauces, so the next step for me is considering homemade pasta.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

In the right mood i think that would be lovely. each to their own though I guess.

Change at the last minute ned innit? ;-)

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Or cook nude, whatever works best.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 13:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I hope your dong enjoys being scalded with bacon grease then.

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 13:50 (twenty-one years ago)

*shudders* oh the splashback!

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 13:50 (twenty-one years ago)

*bows* Thus the 'whatever works best' caveat. For all I know some people are into that!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 13:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm gonna barf.

You could make paper aeroplanes.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 15:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Go dumpster diving!

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 16:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Sit in town and make up stories about people as they walk by.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 16:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I second bake her a cake. I know that's what I'd want.

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 16:10 (twenty-one years ago)

what about boys? what do the boys like? i feel like girls are much easier to captial "R" Romance . . .

― kelsey (kelstarry), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Eggs and flour don't run for free.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I like smiles and cuddles. That'll do me.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 16:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Laugh at my lame jokes and compliment my hair.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 16:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Sit in town and make up stories about people as they walk by.

That's so Annie Hall!

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 16:43 (twenty-one years ago)

If a boy baked me a cake, I'd be flattered but it's really not enough to encompass an entire birthday surprise is it? If I were to describe my perfect birthday surprise it'd be: a roomful of beanbags, mint milano cookies, peach chardonnay, and "Mannequin" (THE FILM) - oh and GETTIN DRUNK and then prank calling people. I'm very mature.

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

jel & markelby...what about doing something a little out of the ordinary? are boys that simple?

― kelsey (kelstarry), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 17:26 (twenty-one years ago)

If you are going to cook her a meal, make sure you go the whole way & dress up in a suit aswell.
-- PinXor

Oooh yes and slow dancing both.

What do boys like? Dress ups.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 20:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Kelsey, I think I feel uncomfortable if someone goes out of their way to please me. Mayeb I feel that the attention is a bit much, or that I don't deserve special treatment? Which is odd cos I love doing it for the people I care about. But yeah, having my gf be loving, attentive aand proactive and HAPPY is perfect for me.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 21:04 (twenty-one years ago)

The best birthday I ever had, my gf welcomed me at the door, blindfolded me, led me to bubblebath, put champagne in my hand, tray of oysters on ice on my lap, then back to the kitchen for her to finish special dinner with candles.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 21:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Did you accidentally eat the rock salt?

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 2 September 2004 00:52 (twenty-one years ago)

The blindfold was off at that stage.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 2 September 2004 01:12 (twenty-one years ago)

sitting on the street and making up stories about people is a great idea. best done on the roof of a building instead of on the street, and with a bottle of cheap bubbly.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Thursday, 2 September 2004 02:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I would vote for the combo of dressing up, making her dinner, and slowdancing in candlelight. How's the romance! I'd be hugely impressed if someone did that for me.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 2 September 2004 02:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Gotta say, she loves it when I don a nice suit. Dancing lessons I have never had, such a shame.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 2 September 2004 02:29 (twenty-one years ago)

you don't need dancing lessons for slowdancing! all you need is sexy music and physical proximity! i think almost all men scrub up beautifully in a suit.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 2 September 2004 02:30 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm worried about the dancing suggestion tho... cos even though i love LOVE love dancing, if someone who emphatically doesn't dance suddenly wants to slowdance with me, i'd laugh riotously.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Thursday, 2 September 2004 02:32 (twenty-one years ago)

hehe good point lady ms lurex. Laughter is fun too though!

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 2 September 2004 02:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes Di, but you're you and she is she. She'd be fine with it. I'm certain!

you don't need dancing lessons for slowdancing! all you need is sexy music and physical proximity!
-- gem

Hooray, you're right!! What music?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 2 September 2004 02:37 (twenty-one years ago)

go the dancing then, col!

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Thursday, 2 September 2004 02:41 (twenty-one years ago)

you have to choose the music col! as an aside, i am very daggy but i think elvis costello's version of my funny valentine is most sexy.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 2 September 2004 02:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Hehehe I'm thinking some sloooow jazz.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 2 September 2004 02:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Just do the little things often.

― jim wentworth (wench), Thursday, 2 September 2004 03:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm easily wooed by the silliest things - if I came home to find my boy had cleaned the entire house top to bottom, and lit candles and poured some wine and then stuck on a nice DVD, I'd be ovr the moon.

I suspect if I did some nice thing for him like dressups or cuddles he'd just want to jump my bones within 5 minutes flat, haha. Ah, men. Luv yas.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 2 September 2004 03:08 (twenty-one years ago)

jim wentworth couldn't be more right if he tried.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Thursday, 2 September 2004 03:12 (twenty-one years ago)

twenty years pass...

My boyfriend has an injured rotator cuff and has to do these repetitive exercises in the evening. I like to put on early Steve Reich and pretend he is doing choreography by Anne Teresa e Keersmaeker.
