Thirty-something men..

Hello lovelies,

Well, today is a big day for the blog! It hasn't seen that many contributions in a very long time!

So, where should I start? Bambam, haven't you ever been told that you're not supposed to date/have sex with your flatmate(s)? I thought we did tell you that when (or was it before?!) things went astray with 'Beub'!
There are so many men who'd kill to date you, what do you think it does to the little guy's head? He has you right there, he can have you sometimes, but not all the time, and then he realises that others can have you too, and you're only 'his' because you haven't found someone else yet. Poor guy. I feel slightly sorry for him..

Anyways, can't wait for you to have a proper date with the male Frenchie! Once you try them, you can never go back lol. About the Painter, I've just experience a slightly similar date with a guy (minus the no sex for 10 years part of course lol). Let's call mine The Pilot, because, yes, he is a pilot, as in he flies planes for a living - and not really planes, but one plane, for a very rich Saudi prince. He's some kind of chauffeur, but for planes.
The pilot and I met at a Lou Reed 'lecture' ie Lou Reed has a book coming out compiling his lyrics and short stories, and he was reading some of them at a very small 'concert' room in Paris.
I was queuing to get in and get a good seat, while distributing Mediapart flyers, when the guy in front of me started talking to me. We talked for about an hour, then got in the room where I sat with my friends and he sat with his. We met up again at the end of the lecture, and decided on going on a date during the week (yeah, he's American, no French guy would have done that lol).
The date (drinks + dinner + walk around Paris) was great, until I realised the guy had no spontaneity whatsoever. He began to ask me during the walk if he could hold my hand. Then he asked if he could kiss my hand?? Then asked if he could kiss me. Come on, seriously? Where's the spontaneity?
Anyways, as you can guess, he didn't stop there, and here I am, three weeks later, with a "boyfriend" who sends me texts messages to ask if he can call me, which he does 20 times a day and.. you guessed it, it's not going to last any longer!!

Which brings me to my point: what is it with thirty-something male and their need for reassurance? I haven't gone out with a guy my age for years, exactly because I'm so bored with the 'young' types who need to be reassured every step of the way and need a second mommy.. To end up with what? Thirty-somethings who need a second mommy too. Yuk. And what's with these guys, why do they need to be so mellow? I'm going to start looking for a macho man, you know, one with hair, beer smell and beard, at least I won't be getting the mellow phone-calls then!!!

Abama Mama, darling, for the first time in aaaaaaaages, we've all contributed and you haven't! Don't forget to vote tomorrow! And come to Europe for christ' sake woman! It's easier to move one girl across the Atlantic than 3! Besides, don't you miss winter? It's almost winter here on our side of the pond, do come and experience again below 15 temperatures!! Come! We have Coca Cola too you know! Love you.

Divorcée my love, stop worrying so much. You love him he loves you.. Yes, the lovey-dovey moments are the best, but going into the more 'mature' moments of your relationship should reassure you that he's there for the long run. The "cooling down" moments you're experiencing are for you to feel happy about the fact that he's there, and make you more confident in your relationship.. not the other way around. I'm tempted to give you the same advice Bam gave you: find an activity to keep your mind occupied. You'll find that he thinks of you as often as you do.. when he's not working! Because you have too much time on your hands, your mind is on him 24/7. And we all know studying does not take your mind off things, it lets it wander even more! Sport is good, but some sports give you time to think all the same, chose them carefully! And how about this documentary-watching 'marathon' you once started? I'm pretty sure there's still plenty of these to watch..
Btw, thanks for the books you've lent my brother! I hadn't seen him read a book in such a long time!! (although I must also say that his computer cannot connect to the internet at home, which forces him also to find solace in other activities!) He seems to be enjoying them very much.

Anyways (yes, I still love this word, and I will use it as often as possible) see you young ladies on Friday, and Abama Mama, you'd better get in touch. I don't want to hear anything about this job of yours taking up your time, first of all you're working part-time, hence the other part of your time should be dedicated to contacting ME, also there's an economic crisis, I'm sure they can spare you for the duration of one overseas phone-call.

bisous bisous
