Like key parties... Where guys throw their car keys into a hat and at the end of the night girls grab a set of keys and go home with that guy...

Man I wish I was invited to one of those parties..it makes 80s parties seem lame in comparison..unless Wang Chung comes on..lol

A 2 week relationship at age 17 is not cheating..that's called dating..especiallly if you say you were dating loosely...Until a guy asks a girl if she'll be his girlfriend or vice versa..it's not cheating..

Well, it was enough to make me feel guilty even all these years later.

Did you consider yourself his girlfriend???

Did you consider yourself his girlfriend???

I believe he did. I really didn't. I was giving the guy a chance but there really was no chemistry there. It's not really him I feel badly about... it's the guy I cheated with's girlfriend at the time because she and I were friends. But like I said, karma got me in the end because a few weeks later, he cheated on me with her. (And we did consider ourselves a "couple" at that time... though apparently he wasn't as "committed" as I thought, LOL.)

Well, he certainly was cake-eating. Not uncommon when a guy cheats.

Wow, he ate the cake with the dumpy frosting. He gets extra points for that, ROFL!

:lol: Not quite what I meant. :lol: I meant more like he wanted his cake and to eat it, too. :lol:

 

[snoseek]

I don't tolerate it...
I hate it when I hear people I know do it...

if you don't want to be with someone.... leave...

Yeah it's not only selfish but also the act of a coward.

 

[Moe Ghoul]

I have never really understood that saying .. it has never made sense to me. if you have a cake wouldn't you eat too? Somebody tell me how that saying came to be ..

I think it's a reference to something Marie Antoinette said about the peons. It ended badly for her. On second thought, I think she said "let them eat cake" .still ended badly.......

When told the people were starving because there was no flour to make bread she said "let them eat cake"... I think that's how that story goes ..

I googled it just for you, and the first site I found had this to say:

have your cake and eat it (too)
to have or do two good things that it is usually impossible to have or do at the same time. He wants to have his cake and eat it. He wants the security of marriage and the excitement of affairs. You can't have your cake and eat it. If you want better local services, you have to pay more tax.

How appropriate.

I think what it's supposed to mean is that the person wants 2 things that can't be had at the same time... if you eat your cake, you can't still have your cake afterwards since you already ate it. Make sense?

 

[Moe Ghoul]

So..if you have 2 cakes, and only eat one.......help me with the math here

Then you're a Mormon?







(No offense to anyone who is....just kidding)

I could go in a million directions with that. I'm not going to, though.

I guess .. but isn't the sole purpose for the existence of this said cake is to be eventually eaten. But I know where your coming from here .. where I grew up in Maine if we were agreeing with somebody in a conversation we would say "so don't I" people from outside the area always looked a little puzzled when they heard that phrase..

No that would be the bake shop .. if you know what I mean..
