happy day laura. - The best thing about being an old fuddy- duddy married person is that fact that lunch counts.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.
Women are strange beasties.
Well, yeah, and men too. The whole being able to read the other person's mind thing takes time.

Your tag here.
Eddie. there is nothing wrong with you're pretty - but when and where were things when you said that
Uh, first week into the relationship... too soon, huh? but she is pretty...
being able to read the other person's mind
I'm no good at this and frankly I hate it. I'd much rather have her call me a shithead rather than tell me things are "fine" and expect me to ESP the rest.
I'll figure it out one of these days. We're still seeing each other, so that's good, I'll just have to repeat "you're not pretty, you're not pretty..." over and over in my head when I'm talking to her.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I know it is from way back, but that link to the chainmail skirt reminded me of a friend who makes chainmail jewelry. She also made a chainmail bra (about halfway down the page). And yes, the hand below the bra is mine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Your friend is very talented!

She really is. Her current stuff is beautiful. My favorite is her Dragonscale bracelet.

Hi, bug. Glad you gotten helped...I hope they really straighten it out soon. I'm also feeling awkward about airing so much of my linen here the past few days, myself, though.

Damn, that's lovely, MG.
I own this and a necklace that got kinda wet and lost its finish. Making me sad, naturally.

My two cents Eddie, and I'm a guy who hasn't had a lot of girlfriends, so take this for what it's worth: I've never found "you're pretty," to be a very well received compliment. Even if you think she's pretty, it has a tendancy to come across like that's the only thing that you notice or value about her. And without the aforementioned ESP abilities, you really have no idea how the word "pretty" matches up with her own self image, or anything that her Body Image Demons might be doing to her right at that moment. That alone almost guarantees that the intended compliment will tank, and have a disproportionately adverse effect instead. Plus, one week into a relationship, whatever you think you may be trying to convey, any unprompted appreciation of her beauty is going to read as "PLEASE LET ME TOUCH YOU WITH MY PENIS NOW."
