One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed.
Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, ´I don´t
feel like it, I just want you to hold me.´
I said, ´WHAT??!! What was that?!´
So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to
hear...
´You´re just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough
for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man.´
She responded to my puzzled look by saying, ´Can´t you just love me
for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?´
Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.
The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time
with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big,
big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried
on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn´t decide which
one to take, so I told her we´d just buy them all. She wanted new
shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, ´Lets get a pair for
each outfit.´
We went on to the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of
diamond earrings. Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must have
thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she
was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she
doesn´t even know how to play tennis.
I think I threw her for a loop when I said, ´That´s fine, honey.´ She
was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement.
Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, ´I think this is
all
dear, let´s go to the cashier.´
I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, ´No honey, I don´t
feel like it.´
Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled,
´WHAT?´
I then said, ´Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while.
You´re just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for
me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman.´
And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I
added, ´Why can´t you just love me for who I am and not for the things
I buy you?´
Apparently I´m not having sex tonight either...
