Friday

Re-Boyfriend always surprises me with his complete and utter sappiness. Small dogs, children, rainbows—it takes very little to make him smile and glow with the joy of cuteness. Then he turns to me as if I too am supposed to glow or just bask in his glow or at least smile.

I can usually muster the smile.

Generally, I refrain from commenting on Re-Boyfriend's strangely sentimental ways since they are at least partly endearing, but last night I was pushed over the edge.

We had met up with another couple at a local bar.

“I introduced them,” he whispered to me proudly.

“That’s nice,” I whispered back.

When the girl gave the boy a kiss on the cheek, Re-Boyfriend turned to me with his standard Feel-the-Glow face. Then he pinched my arm and actually half-pointed as he grinned, clearly communicating the thought “Look! Look! Love! Isn’t it amazing?”

“You are such a sap,” I told him, half-laughing.

He looked momentarily taken aback, then smiled and leaned in.

“Yeah, but I don’t fuck you like one.”

Well put.

most girls don't get that nice, sappy guys are best at BPTU (Beating the P Up).

That's where we let go of our aggression, in the bedroom, while our counterparts are cunning and witting with their tongue and gestures while clothed.

We, nice guys, do so unclothed in the bedroom. I think I like Re-Boyfriend's style.

That Jekyll and Hyde personality is what makes us who we are.

Having a man that is romantic and sappy on the outside and can STILL be a man on the inside is a privaledge.....marry him, see if it makes a difference in the romance department

Robbie said...

I wonder, though, is getting fucked like a sap necessarily a bad thing?

Jeremiah said...

Oh yes, love is amazing (when it's two other saps are jumping off the fucking cliff)...run or jump, your call. Just do not stand still.

You continue to amuse me, CB. Re-Boyfriend is becoming quite a character as well! Keep us posted.

Ha! Good recovery, re-boyfriend. There may (I say *may*) be hope for him yet.

I heard that being less sensitive fat women are fond of brutal lovers

Alison said...

wait till he gets a load of www.cuteoverload.com - strap yourself in...

Mob said...

Not that we've been exposed to any behavior from him that I'd necessarily call romantic per se, I'd almost say that he was embarrassed to be so caught up in his own sentimentality.

Touche, Re-boyfriend!

Give him a pinnefore (spelling? wutts speeling?) and chain him to your kitchen, sappiness is the fuel of good cookery. Well, sappiness or blind arrogance and the ability to swear like a trooper.

i sometimes think, being single is much better, its better to not get hurt the third time.

Sounds like you have the best of both worlds in Re-boyfriend.

Hamish and Leesha said...

Does he still want you to move in with him CB?
He could be trying to "soften" you up... so to speak....

Nigel Vossap said...

Okay, I am a dude. Sounds like Re-Boyfriend had too many shots that night. I have said my fair share of dumb things when it comes to sappiness and the couple sitting in front of me (nay, with me), but I never threw the word "fuck" in there in such a gratuitous manner. What do you actually see in Re?
