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....but at least that
she
knows I'm smarter than her
