Right, from now on I'm going to drink away all my gf's wages and then piss on her when I eventually get in.

Ungrateful git, I know, I know.
I'd send you a carrot.

The path to true love and a life-long relationship. Pissing on her.

But you'd be standing there for ever!
"After you!"
"No after you!"
"No after you!"
"No after you!"
Ha!
Obviously, the one who gets there first does the opening.
I actually don't like being given 'flowers and chocolates'. Biggest cliche in the world.
I mean, it's better than a dog shit in a box, obviously. But it makes me feel awkward and embarrassed, for me and him. It's just so arbitrary, like something 'people do'.
If he unexpectedly bought me a dvd or book he knew I wanted or something, it would mean infinitely more.
Ah see, everyone wants something different these days. Us old romantics don't stand a chance in getting it right!

See! That's exactly what I was saying!
Ha, I'm like Cassanova I am.
I wouldn't mind getting chockies though, but it might kill the mood when I'm sitting there with chocolate dripping down my face after I've shoved half of them in my mouth in one go.

You are a real smoothy!
Weeeeeell, it's chocolate.
Such a lovely mental image!
I did say it might spoil the mood a bit

Snap! Although teachers take it for granted and think we should all open doors for them.
I've heard that a man actually stands a chance to get slapped in some Scandinavian countries, if he opens door for a woman.
The reasoning is, the man is somehow humiliating her, making her a weak creature who can't even open doors for herself.
But that's feminism for ya!
Well, things can be done in a patronising way sometimes.

But I quite like it when boys do it.
I hung out with this exchange student from Australia and he told me the biggest culture shock for him was how everyone held the door open for everyone else in our country. I don't know what it's like in Britain but it's just so easy to do, hold the door while you are entering until the person behind can grab it. Very rarely do I see someone not do this...they are usually tourists.
