Cuddly N' Comfy or Too Close for Comfort?

originalsnob by originalsnobOG 2004 · Aug 30, 2004 · 792 views

So...cuddly n' comfy or too close for comfort? A lot of stuff has changed about so called "dating etiquette" yet certain things might never change. There will always be the occasional In my day... or I can remember when....

What are there things that just rub us the wrong way? or What are the things we don't mind?

Classic examples:

Can't believe she just picked off my plate.
Does he have to sit so close?
They get it we're together...let me breathe!
It's so cute when he picks his nose.
The way she just burped, wow she's sooo free.

Okay slightly exhagerating but, you get the point!

on the flip side i hate when a person despises or ridicules a couple for any form of affection. I mean someone who complains to you about two people 'holding hands too much' and the like. Genuinely upset of simple displays of affection.

I mean 95% of the time i can guarantee you they are single and are a)bitter or b) have always been single and so it usually results from jealousy.

socalgal #17.1 socalgalOG 2003

sometimes, but not really, there are peeps that genereally are not affectionate people and are annoyed by any affection shown by others.

hm, im not a HUGE PDA fan... like... couples that are all over each other married or not, just creeps me out. Ive been the third wheel for many a couple... and thats the WORST, and your just chillin in the back seat pretending to look ANYWHERE but at them.

thefunkyfresh #16.1 thefunkyfreshFounder

hahaha... so awkward. although some couples are worse than others. like andrew and janine, i always remember they were so totally cool when they were dating. they never made anybody feel uncomfortable when u were hanging out with them, and now theyre happily married. a great example.

rocksupastar #16.1.1 rocksupastarFounder

what?! im not a good example?!?!?!?!

thefunkyfresh #16.1.1.1 thefunkyfreshFounder

you were good too. actually you were better AFTER you got engaged. although you 2 never acted stupid, just that nobody ever SAW you

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

hahaha, i will admit that, when i was dating katie i was at school too... i did, school 7 to 4, work 5 to 9... homework 10 to 3 then back to school again... i ususally went to work, crashed at katies house till 1 then drove home falling asleep the whole way. After I got engaged i actually got more sleep, so it was nice.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

that sounds completely deadly

ilikebirds #16.2 ilikebirdsOG 2002

i find nothing wrong with PDA, i'm all about it.

but if it's 3 people locked in a room and the third person is left watching, thats not PDA. thats putting on show..

which i have no problem with either.

HOOOO RAHHHHHH

malibu #16.2.1 malibuOG 2001

i hate it when people come out to eat at a restaurant and sit and swap fluids.
one time this couple was really lovey all night then right as their food got there they rushed out of the restaurant only to return a few minutes later looking happy. i wanted to barf on their food when they came back.

hunkpapap #16.3 hunkpapapOG 2003

yeah seriously. But as long as you're not hit with any bodily fluids while it is going on its ok..

fivezero #16.3.1 fivezeroOG 2003

whattttttt

cerbrato #15 cerbratoOG 2002

This journal is so cute!! all bout doing a little kissy kissy

I find myself to be a very affectionate person, however theres a time and place for everything. Nothing like sitting on the couch watching movie or sports... just relaxing with someone you love. You don't even have to say a word..all about enjoying the moment of spending time together.

sunshyne #13 sunshyneOG 2004

i love manners: letting the lady sit first, door holding open, that sort of thing. (side point: one guy always manages to sandwich me between his arms when opening the door. example: im in front of him, he opens the left door with his right hand and then to let me through has to pass the door to his left hand momentarily creating a hug. its lovely. ahh bliss.) however, unless there is some deeper understanding or a great disparity of income, i dont see why the male should ALWAYS pay. backpedaling: its not expected but i appreciate it. i will never frown on getting treated.

suchgr8heights #13.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

Oh, he's smooth...

fivezero #13.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003 offtopic

old trick. and a little smarmy. totally something those dudes on Night at the Roxbury would do, while smashing their pelvises into you.

sunshyne #13.1.1.1 sunshyneOG 2004

who said anything about pelvi? not me. why do you always have to blow my innocense up anyway? cant you just let me think something is sweet for a change?

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

Oh, so you've never seen Night at the Roxbury. Sorry.

originalsnob originalsnobOG 2004

I've seen it GOOD TIMES...
What is love? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me... no more and head jerk NOW :-D

malibu malibuOG 2001

why is techno soooo stupid?

suchgr8heights suchgr8heightsOG 2003

You don't know me, you're too old. Let go, it's over cuz NOBODY listens to techno!

originalsnob originalsnobOG 2004

It's funny cause I know there was a time when it was actually considered the stuff but, it's fun to bust out to like "WOE where's that going?" LOL!

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003

daft punk is where it's still at...

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 offtopic hunkpapap

Definitely. Techno is insanely derivative nowadays. Nothing new or exciting going on. Lo-Fi techno is what really gets me now. Daft Punk tho--Classic.

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003 fivezero

that and AIR is great. They have it all, slow, tance, catchy, etc...it just goes on.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 hunkpapap

Air is amazing. I love the movie scores they do. The one they did for the Virgin Suicides is unreal.

tinser tinserOG 2002 fivezero

oh my goodness....thats the best!

socalgal #12 socalgalOG 2003

i luv to cuddle...but i don't like when a guy is like a back pack on you....let me breathe!

suchgr8heights #12.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

Breathe, stretch, shake, let it go!

ilikebirds #11 ilikebirdsOG 2002

whats' wrong with cuddling. it's good times and great oldies.

flomojopoanode #11.1 flomojopoanodeFounder

speaking of cuddling and "great oldies", has anyone ever seen harold and maude? One of the single most wacky, and disturbing movies of all time. Geez.

tinser #10 tinserOG 2002

what about playing footsy?

originalsnob #10.1 originalsnobOG 2004

It's not that I think it's inappropriate but, I could see where it could be annoying to either person. Then again everyone is different... I guess it depends on what the person is like. Good one!

suchgr8heights #10.2 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

I think it's highly overrated.

thatdarngirl #10.2.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

I agree, kicking your SO (significant other) is so much more fun!

socalgal #10.2.1.1 socalgalOG 2003

oh yeah, kicking is SO much fun!

ilikebirds #10.3 ilikebirdsOG 2002

footsy's is retarded. case closed.
but foot massages are great.

thefunkyfresh #10.4 thefunkyfreshFounder

i think its something that would be associated with dating, same as holding hands

specialk #10.4.1 specialkOG 2003

But sometimes people hold hands even if they aren't "technically" dating, like if they are just flirting with a guy or something.

tinser #10.5 tinserOG 2002

oh, i didn't put my opinion...hm, i think its a mix between funny and gay...depending on how seriously a person means it

originalsnob #9 originalsnobOG 2004

ATTENTION: If I Like Birds wants a piece of me he can come and get it!!! Bring it on , I WILL TAKE YOU DOWN FOR CORRUPTING MY BEAUTIFUL THREAD WITH YOUR LIES AND DECIET!!! (GRRRRRRR rips apart golden fluffy pancake with bear teeth)

perrin #9.1 perrinOG 2004

I sense some mild resentment here but I could be wrong. lol

socalgal #9.2 socalgalOG 2003

you need to know and understand birds...his comments are a breath of fresh air, no motif behind just to make us warm and fuzzy all over

suchgr8heights #9.2.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

Warm and fuzzy is one thing birds is NOT

ilikebirds #9.2.1.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

what i'm SO warm and fuzzy. just like you.
you're so charming and disarming, desirable and sweet.
one gaze at you sweeps me off my feet !

originalsnob #9.2.2 originalsnobOG 2004

But are these comments based in reality or simply a very disturbing figment of his twisted imagination? (Food for thought)

suchgr8heights #9.2.2.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

Who knows...for the most part I thinks it's all a load of funny nonsense but sometimes I have reason to believe he's for real.

perrin perrinOG 2004

Ty will suprise you from time to time with an amazingly insightful comment but for the most part his comments are just funny.

ilikebirds #9.2.2.2 ilikebirdsOG 2002

what is reality? isn't all the perception one has contained in oneself. Isn't the ideals and notions that have been learned through life and experience. Thus isn't reality different to all peoples? Thus isn't michael jackson weird?

perrin perrinOG 2004

HAHAHAHA. You really cracked me up with that last part.

ilikebirds #9.3 ilikebirdsOG 2002

aww you're so cute when you're angry. lets go get some food.. maybe thursday?

originalsnob #9.3.1 originalsnobOG 2004

BOOOO you!!! You've corrupted not only my beautiful thread but Alana is now buying into you're crazed stories (squeels with displeasure) :-|

suchgr8heights #9.3.1.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

I am, aren't I? Can someone throw me a rope?

ilikebirds #9.4 ilikebirdsOG 2002

can i just say
that you're kissable and cuddle, desirable and true
all i ask for is a lifetime with you

suchgr8heights #9.4.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

Yes! Someone's ACTUALLY MACKING in the macking forum! Woo-hoo!

socalgal #9.4.2 socalgalOG 2003

you're cheating on me before my eyes!

ilikebirds #9.4.2.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

no i'm not!...
see it's like the SUN. everyone loves the SUN because it's hot.
now the SUN is like your hair, because it's sometimes hairy.
Now you take that... mix it around a bit.. and really i'm not cheating on you.
Because... you are loveable and cuddly, beautiful and sweet
on you, i would never cheat!

suchgr8heights suchgr8heightsOG 2003

Why don't you join the never ending rap (I meant rap) already?

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

i dont get it. whats right? whats wrong?

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

*besos*

suchgr8heights #8 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

Ok what about putting your hand in your guy/gal's rear pocket?? Does anyone do this?

perrin #8.1 perrinOG 2004

Unless your married I think that's a little too..well..hm.. I'm not really sure what word I want here but yeah it's a little too that.

suchgr8heights #8.1.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

It's a little, over-the-top? too much? Yea, and I don't think it would be too comfortable either. It's like people who smoke to look cool. Couples only do that to look cool. Or get a McFeely...

perrin #8.1.1.1 perrinOG 2004

Yeah that's it.

socalgal #7 socalgalOG 2003

The "picking off of the plate" i am NOTORIOUS for this, i have no problems with this but it jsut made me laugh because i do this with ones i'm close too

socalgal #7.1 socalgalOG 2003

but seriously, i dont' like guys who are in love with love. They can fall in love with anyone at anytime. it's jsut not genuine

perrin #7.1.1 perrinOG 2004

Or how about guys who fall in love after 5 minutes with a person. When someone has just met someone and says they are in love it drives me crazy.

socalgal #7.1.1.1 socalgalOG 2003

oh yeah that too.

suchgr8heights #7.1.1.2 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

I'm in love with you...Ha! This would have had a better effect if it came from, let's say..i like birds.

perrin perrinOG 2004

Yeah that's for sure I could totally see ty making that comment. lol

originalsnob #6 originalsnobOG 2004

Okay okay my turn... I think it's sweet when you massage the back of your guy/girls neck or rub their back, it's not too touch feely, just nice.

suchgr8heights #6.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

agreed. free massages are great!

fivezero #5 fivezeroOG 2003

This topic is mad sticky. People will disagree all day. I'll just come in here and make jokes!

originalsnob #5.1 originalsnobOG 2004

Yeah um... that's the point to hear the different opinions.

ilikebirds #4 ilikebirdsOG 2002

i have no problem with her picking my nose. that'd be grreat

ilikebirds #3 ilikebirdsOG 2002

I hate it when she's all "thai lets make out" and i'm all "yo hunny i'm brushing my teeth" and she's all " so what " and i'm all *punch her in the face and run*

suchgr8heights #3.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

She prolly hates it when you're breath is toxic, that's all. She only wants to kiss you immediately after you've brushed.

ilikebirds #3.1.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

no, i just brush my teeth naked all the time.. it's just one of those things.. and the door is always open..

originalsnob #3.2 originalsnobOG 2004

Right right... cause this ALWAYS happens to you :-p

ilikebirds #3.2.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

a lot. i also hate it when i'm sitting there eating a sandwich and she pushes on the other end and it splatters all over my face. thats not too bad. but then she spits on me and says " i dont want your babies! "

suchgr8heights #3.2.1.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

Yikes, who are you dating? Chyna?

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

it's alright. because when she sleeps at night.. i pinch her softly until she gets annoyed and wakes up .. and as he wakes up i pretend i'm taking a pillow and covering her face.

she gets all mad.

suchgr8heights suchgr8heightsOG 2003

ok he or she? I'm confused..

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

she's 80% she, but 20% he

see she was a hemproghaoditie

suchgr8heights suchgr8heightsOG 2003

LOL Oh my...is that scriptural for you to be dating..that..?

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

oh i broke up with her last night. and told her to take her kids with her!

suchgr8heights suchgr8heightsOG 2003 ilikebirds

Wow, I never thought about "hemproghaodities" having kids. Can they? If you don't mind me asking, what happened?

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 suchgr8heights

we were sitting there watching tv as usual... and sasha started yelling bloody murder. so i ran into the bedroom and there was my lady standing slapping sasha. apparently something happened and i dont approve of child slapping so i poured the milk i was drinking on the lady and kicked her out.

suchgr8heights suchgr8heightsOG 2003 ilikebirds

I think I'm sorry I asked..? [mildly amused]

originalsnob originalsnobOG 2004 ilikebirds

Okay Thai... I think this is ALL an elaborate ruse.
I've seen your kind before I know what you're like LOL!!!
LIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, story teller, fabricator of elaborate ruse.
:-P

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 originalsnob

no, i have aides for that

yay yayOG 2004 originalsnob

so what you're saying is... thai is making ruse

hunkpapap #2 hunkpapapOG 2003

personally i can't stand when a guy won't let his date dance with anyone else. If they dance with each other all night that is fine, I've been there. But if she wants to dance and isn't allowed, that is wrong...

suchgr8heights #2.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

This is true. If the guy can't dance, he should at least be willing to humiliate himself a little and then allow her to dance with someone else sometimes.

socalgal #2.2 socalgalOG 2003

i don't like this either. its just dancing

malibu #2.2.1 malibuOG 2001

that's true. but in certain cultures it means more. like we were hearing about how in the spanish hall by us they have local needs all the time about not dancing with other people's wives and stuff.

socalgal #2.2.1.1 socalgalOG 2003

oh yeah, my parents are like that. they don't dance with anyone but each other. i told them they were jsut old school. lol

suchgr8heights #1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

I don't like it when a guy rests his head on me and starts acting like a little baby. I'm allowed to do that (not that I necessarily do) but he is NOT.
