Isn't that like Harry Met Sally?
Can men and women really be friends or does Sex always get in the way?
One of his friends asked him if he would be willing to share me with the friend and his wife. He told them that he didn't have a problem with it.
No one thought to ask me how I felt about it.
If it ain't the call from the hubby, you are cheating.
Lovely!
Sex always gets in the way. ;o)
We'll just throw a burka on you and send you out for parties.
;-)
Well I have heard every version of what cheating is today...
Frankly men and women, all can give each other Kudos IMO wether single or married... I mean I could be reading an email from a 90 yr old pruney man but if he's got a cool story about Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf he just might have my attention! LOL...
I think the difference in my situation is that I have mutual hobbies with these guys. We have stuff to do together - with our clothes on.
Plus - ALL of their wives know me.
AND I don't hide my friendship with them.
No guilt - no hiding.
Oh definetly know what you mean...I think the Internet Stuff can get a bit more blurry for people when married...
LOL
You know what's so funny about it? I didn't get that kind of interest from men when I was single. It wasn't until after I was married that they started crawling out of the woodwork.
ROFLMAO!!!
I am going to make copies of this and pass it out to people every time one of them asks me....."Why aren't you married". LOL!
Glad your a red riding kinda gal! LOL..
That's because many men feel married women are low maintenance!
I have seen many relationships in my time, and my conclusion (subject to change) is that unusually close male-female relationships that are nonsexual don't work very well.
One exception is when the people have known each other since early childhood and their relationship is more like siblings.
Invariably, I find that at least one of the two parties ends up desiring more from the relationship (as in romance) as time goes on. As a practical matter, if it's the male who grows to want more from the relationship, very often that romance will not blossom. If it's the female who grows to want more, all she pretty much has to do is make herself open and available to it and the guy will tend to follow her lead (and will bite if he is anywhere from indifferent to anxious for sex, depending on a lot of factors).
Anyway, unusually close different-sex relationships are probably more trouble than they are worth, regardless of whether they are each single, dating someone else, or are married to someone else. I have never seen one really work out as well as close same-sex relationships.
I have a moderately close relationship with an attractive female, for example, and it's been mutually frustrating for almost the entire decade we have known each other. Whenever I grew more attracted to her, she wouldn't be interested. Whenever she was more attracted to me, I'd be preoccupied with someone or something else in my life and not bite. The more time I spent away from her (and her from me) the more appealing we appeared to each other. The more time we spent closer, the less interested one or the other grows. No joke, we have been doing this dosey-do for a decade now.
An older person who knew neither of us very well saw us particularly contentious with each other at a social event (as often sexually uncultivated people can be) and casually asked someone 'how long have they been married?' When she was alerted that not only were we not married, but never even dated and were 'just friends' for many years, she laughed and suggested we both just get a room and work things out.
Old timers can be very wise, you know? :-)
PS - I now date another woman entirely and this 'friend' can't stand her, even though my companion has been very nice to her the few times they have met. Go figure...
I think I'm going to go buy my husband a Big Bad Wolf costume and he can chase me around the back yard. Hopefully, the neighbors won't call the police. :-)
Should I take this as a complement or a dig or nothing at all.
Do that he will love it just remind him of what the Big Bad Wolf wanted to do to Red Riding Hood! he will be more than happy to wear the costume! LOL...
Very True Statement as I said before look at the Harry Met Sally story it was so very true...
Oooh, you're bad, missy. ;-)
HAHA I know...:)
