Just read your post to Allegra. The "tame me" got my attention. I was friends for two years with a man a few years older than I am. We were just friends as far as I was concerned, but he wanted more. He kept saying he wanted to "tame me." Nothing makes me run faster in the other direction than to hear those words. What are we, wild animals?
Actually, to them - yes.
But - our "spunk" is what they fell for at first - but then they want to "tame" it out of us.
BARF!!!
My last major relationship was the poster boy for this "taming" thing. Good riddance.
