My proposal for relationships in the new millenium

"Hey, do you want to cuddle in bed?"
"OK.. I'll give it a shot"
"Great!"

That's it. I'm convinced this should be the only way a relationship should be initiated. No initial sex. No initial expectations of commitment. That stuff can be mutually agreed upon and develop as necessary.

There's so much goddamn pain that arises from alleged trust and loyalty, that sometimes I feel its for everyone's best to just give it all up.

(OK, I'm not being totally serious here, but I want to stir up some ideas here... just days ago, I witnessed the most horrendous break up between two very, very close friends of mine.. it was the kind of thing that makes one want to outlaw relationships altogether..)

brian the first line should read:

"Hey, do you want to have explosive anal sex?"

otherwise, golden.

yeah 'cause "cuddling" is for creeps

I like the cut of your jib

but just cos the couple split up painfully doesnt mean their coming together was flawed in anyway...

you should be thinking of better ways to brak up, not get together surely...

i'm kinda thinking that 'i'm sorry baby, we're in different places/stages in life and i'm not totally happy in this relationship because of it but i love you as a friend and want to stay as that if at all possible' is far superior to 'sorry luv, yer too high maintenance, move along munty'

How is this supposed to prevent one person from falling harder and wanting more than the other? That's always been the problem in my relationships.

I never knew donut was so cuddlecore.

Best proposal since that nice Mr Swift. Courtship should be all about the cuddling and mocking of the other party's soft-toy collection.

b-but the anal?!

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 02:01 (twenty-three years ago)

DB, can you type up your proposal & distribute it to all the guys in Seattle? ; )

Aarrrggh to the initial expectations of commitment "we've been out two Saturdays in a row so now we are a couple" thing.

Alasdair Gray's novel "Poor Things" is a great huge pro-cuddling tract. Recommended, and it's nice to give a copy to the object of your affection too.

b-but the anal?!

Aw, jess. There are plenty of ways to get some anal without even saying the word "relationship".

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 03:37 (twenty-three years ago)

"please"?

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 03:48 (twenty-three years ago)

How is this supposed to prevent one person from falling harder and wanting more than the other? That's always been the problem in my relationships.

Well, if that doesn't work, then there's always Plan B which involves a pair of scissors and a jar.

"cuddlecore" haha!

Jess, when you say golden, do you mean those showas?

"...these are a few of my favourite things..."

Someone did once invite me back to her place specifically to sleep in the same bed and not have sex. I refused on the grounds that I thought she was lying about her intentions. Also she had the clap
