I don't like to say that I've had *good luck*, because that seems a bit
mercenary, but *almost* every time I give up a chair to a woman in the
very small, crowded, and initmate bar that I frequent, I end up with
at least a lot of good conversation, and sometimes more. Most of the time that
happens, I give up a seat at the bar (the place to be in this bar),
and don't even attempt any conversation with the `givee', typically
because I'm carrying on a conversation with a friend of mine whom
I typically visit this bar with. The `givee' almost always initiates
conversation with me, starting with "thank you very much, that was
civil|polite|chivalrous|etc". Just being polite, at least in the place
I'm talking about, which is DEFINITELY NOT a loud, boisterous place,
is very good. Sincerity can go a long way...

I can dig that, but Shelley said that she couldn't find any men in her area,
and, in fact, that she was >willing to relocate< in order to find the 'right
man'. 
That certainly comes across to me as being so picky as to what one is looking
for that the problem just can't honestly lie with the people in the area, but
with the person doing the searching.

101 More Uses for Five Gallons of Chocolate Ice Cream, by Scarlet Leather.
This beautiful, profusely illustrated work is a delightful surprise for those
of us who thought that the first volume had exhausted all the possible uses
for five gallons of chocolate ice cream; you'll find 101 breathtaking, full-
color pictures of things to do with ice cream that you'd previously only
dreamed of (or will dream of after you've perused this volume).  "Use number

Is it as simple as that?  Do you feel this is a situation in which deep
feelings can be stepped on for the sake of brutal honesty?  When someone
professes a desire for a real relationship with you, the best response
is probably not "No, but I'd still like to get layed on a regular basis"
It's just as easy to spare the other person's feelings and leave out the
part about needing a warm receptacle. 

>You may find this hard to believe, but it is quite possible to be
>'fucking good friends'.

You're right, I am skeptical about this.  I was once in a relationship
where I thought it was possible to remain 'fucking good friends'.  I was
wrong.  You can make all the pacts and agreements with your partner that
you want, but it dosen't preclude the possibility that someone's going
to develop some kind of deeper feelings, particularly if you really are
_friends_ and not just acquaintances.  It takes a cold individual to
completely seperate themselves from the psychological and emotional
aspects of sex with a friend, at least if it's on any kind of regular
basis.
