Akima:

--- Quote from: JackFaerie on 30 Sep 2010, 01:24 ---No, it's just what people do when they date.  It's just that Sven is, yes, slightly better at it and more self-aware of how it works, and able to put it into words.

You make some very good points. However is precisely his awareness that his moves are tactics, and that he is using them to create desire in his partner without any mention at all that he is "into" the girl beyond possibly her physical attraction, that makes Sven suspect. In todays comic his remark that once he'd "hit" a curvy girl, others seem flat suggests that he's got a long way to go in learning to see a woman as a person. (Flat!? Who are you calling flat?)

"Is this really what you're s'posed to talk about on a date?" You tell him, Hanners!


--- Quote from: pendrake on 30 Sep 2010, 01:56 ---So Sven took Hanners out to a japanese place?  Good call for someone like Hannelore, i think.  Most japanese restaurants are very clean &/or organized ("most"...).

Would I be right in thinking you haven't spent much time in Tokyo? :lol:  Especially if it's a shabu-shabu place. The sticky floor is part of the experience! Westerners are so neurotic about these things; if the food is cooked hot enough, it doesn't matter what the kitchen is like! :evil:

Mad Cat:
Once you go fat, you never go back.

pwhodges:
Ah, but you can! - but I'll not talk more about it publicly, thank you.

Border Reiver:
Well you can go back - dietary changes and better exercise will do wonders at allowing you to "go back" once you've "gone fat".

As for you Akima - the food being cooked isn't the problem, its what happens to the food between the stove and me that causes some concern.  But I will agree with you that Hanner's reaction is most appropriate - do you really discuss your attraction to a friend of your "date" in fairly graphic terms especially if the date doesn't "measure up".  A gentleman (or at least those of us who aspire to be one or have a little class) doesn't.

Carl-E:
Ninja'd by Akima...

JackFaerie, there really is a difference between putting your best foot foward in the hopes of making a good first impression and what Sven was admitting to doing.  Douche may have been a bit harsh though, I'll grant you that.  Manipulative (and pretty shallow) still stands. 

I feel a bit for Hanners, this is not turning into what she had in mind.  But I think I really feel more for Sven.  He's not expressing it well, but he's really in no shape for a date yet, and he knows it.  Perhaps not the deep emotional level we'd like to see, but admitting he misses the sex is just scratching the surface of what it is he really feels.  He could start hitting on other curvy girls if he wished, but he hasn't - it's Faye that he misses, and he just doesn't know how to deal with that. 

Neither would I.
