I think it’s our duty to build a Jose Mourinho-esque tactical bible guide to the most difficult of oppositions… the opposite sex.
Impart your pearls of wisdom/idiocy, do’s and dont’s, funny stories, shocking stories, etc. here. It’s up to the readers what they do with the information. Whether they be genuine pieces of genius, or Inbetweener’s-esque idiocy.
It seems there are a number of forumers in long-term relationships/marriages & a few who are still dipping their feet in the delight of courting the opposite sex & have the rest of their life to look forward to… or dread.
Are you gonna be a Shaun Wright-Phillips & ignore the advice? Or a model professional such as Paul Scholes, who let’s be honest, Alex Ferguson prefers to his actual son.
Ladies, we want to hear from you too hence the Guide to the Opposite Sex.
I’ll start…
Yesterday I had a genuine moment of romantic brilliance that I’m frankly still surprised I managed to muster. After coming out of the cinema, me & the girlfriend were trying to decide whether to eat at a restaurant, or go home to eat. She favored the restaurant as we were already in town, whereas I preferred home for economic reasons. I then came up with the following line…
“I can cook you something better at home then you’ll get at a restaurant because I’ve got a secret extra ingredient… LOVE.”
It was meant as a joke. The girlfriend subsequently laughed & then “Awwww’ed”. It clinched the deal to go home where I cooked an admittedly average Spag Bol, but we had textbook intercourse.
