Giving it up too soon, or "Will you respect me in the morning?"
In a "Dear Abby" column I read yesterday, a writer said that she, a 34-year old woman, met a guy who was her age and they went out on a date.
They hit it off, and they got it on. Her words for it were "physically intimate."
Since that time, the guy hasn't called her back.
Abby said that's because she gave it up too soon.
I'm not sure there's a statute of limitations on when to hit the sheets. Moreover - and I'm speaking for about 99 percent of men across the world here - the sooner the better.
On that, my buddy Steve said he met a gal at an afternoon cookout in Charlotte, they hit it off, later went out to a bar, and then he took her home.
Over breakfast the next morning, she asked if he still respects her. He told me about that, and said it's A-OK with him - it just lets him know that she knows what she wants.
So are you more with Abby on this, or with my buddy Steve?

My three best relationships have started in pretty random and highly physical encounters. Somehow, that's just what works for me. If things work great in bed, they seem to work great everywhere else, too.
I think the idea of respect in sexual encounters is in your own head, not your partner's. If a guy thought it was too trashy to sleep with a girl on the first date, he wouldn't be doing it, would he?

I knew it wasn't really Ruby because you referenced Dear Abby and not The Economist or the New York Times.

Lucy-
I'm bummed that the Weekly World News is no longer. At least we still have Mad.
Ruby-
Yeah, I'm not much for the waiting around myself. In my best-ever relationship, we wasted no time.
