Even some of the most independent women are old fashioned when it comes to dating. Hmm..

It’s a classic single-woman scenario: you really like this guy, but he’s giving mixed messages. You make excuses, decide he’s confused, afraid of commitment. Behrendt, a former executive story editor for Sex and the City—and a formerly single (now happily married) guy who knows all the excuses—provides a simple answer: he’s just not that into you. Stop kidding yourself, let go and look for someone else who will be. After all, as Behrendt sensibly puts it, "if a (sane) guy really likes you, there ain’t nothing that’s going to get in his way."

1: If a booty wishes to pay a call, it should first leave its booty-calling card, with the top left corner folded if the booty has left it in person.
2: After receiving the card, the recipient has three days in which to send a booty return-calling card before the initiating booty caller must reasonably assume that social intercourse is not desired.
3: As booty calls are usually paid in the small hours of the night, evening attire is recommended.
Form is everything, gents.

carter said:T. et al, Just for clarification:
Aren't calling cards normally deposited in a small tray on the parlor table?
If the booty of the 2nd part responds to the booty of the 1st part in the affirmative, would this be signaled by the requisite folding of the top right corner of the card?
Would evening attire for gentlemen be as worn by Winston Churchill at Casablanca? This was described as, "monogrammed black velvet slippers, a quilted dressing gown embellished with red dragons, an RAF air marshal's cap, and a cigar". (He was seeing FDR off and is reported to have said to photographers on the runway, "You simply cannot do this to me.", in order that photos not be taken.)
M Tatterscratch said:Carter,
Ah, I almost left out these fine points...
Cards are indeed left in a tray in the hall, or with a servant. If the booty-callee wishes to encourage social intercourse with the booty-caller, a card sent in return will suffice. However, if the card is sent in an envelope, this is a polite sign of refusal, and must be respected.
As for evening attire, it depends on whether or not the caller is invited to sit or must remain standing. In the latter case, tails are appropriate, as they lengthen the line of the figure and prevent drafts from reaching the backs of the legs. But if a more lengthy call is being paid, a short jacket or dressing gown, preferably of dark velvet or silk, would be the norm.
The RAF Air Marshal's cap is left to the host's discretion, but I can say with authority that an an Air Marshal's cap always makes me feel more virile. Mine is quilted, embellished with red dragons, and monogrammed. It also has a very nice cigar-holder, in case the lady requires a place to rest her La Perfecta. I am nothing if not considerate.
Authoritatively,
T.

Yes, he is that. Helpful hint to watch for: if a guy's single and has over 1,000 posts and he hasn't tried that silver-tongue stuff yet, start expecting it any time thereafter...fourstarbanner said:Sweet talker!
