What about You?

Hey all, just felt the need to add a new post.

There are a few things that I look forward to when I see my OM. For example:

At the end of a long hard day, I'll go over his house, spend some time with him, but the best thing is fall sleep with him. Sometimes we spoon each other, other times we sleep with our butts touching, but knowing that I am next to his is so wonderful.

The other night I had a nightmare, I woke up witha jolt. I was sweaty and short of breath. My OM woke up, said come here and held me till we both fell back asleep.

And to make the story even better, I wake up next to him.

Sorry, I'm in that mushy mood...
Do you have a story?

I understand the mushy mood. I get mushy all the time now. I don't know why, something about the love that i'm finally experiencing *sigh* anyway..... I also love falling asleep next to my Love. I can't explain why, there is just something so comforting about laying in each other's arms.
Speaking of touching butts....we do it all the time. I won't go into details, but we always end up giggling like little kids under the covers when it happens.

Well, aside from all that, I guess I don't have a mushy story off the top of my head right now, but something kind of funny happened at work (we work at the same place)...

We have a "secret" relationship right now because of circumstances I'm sure many of you would understand.
Anyway, I am really sick and I went home early... but there is this weird, annoying guy and he says to my OM "Your GIRLFRIEND is going home, I think she is sick" or something. I thought it was funny just because I think some people are starting to wonder since we are ALWAYS together and we get all grumpy if we can't sit by each other, well at least I get that way :) .

There are a couple other people who have said things to me like "Are you and that OLD guy dating?" hahahaa...

Sometimes I just want to say something but I can't. At least I kind of have an idea of who is going to flip out when we "go public" with our relationship. Oh well.

Ok, maybe it wasn't that good of a story, but I felt like posting cuz I'm bored.

i was like that last night...this louisa may alcott book-made-into-B-movie came on WE , and afterwards I was very amorous. I've found myself for once being able to be myself...to be silly, seductive, relaxed, spontaneous without scrutiny. And I've had this feeling come over me when he kiss....i can describe it, but the closest is feeling like he is drawing me in with his kiss, the whole weak in the knees, rumbling in the ear, pulse quickening deliciousness of it.
aaaah, mushy is good.
he does this quirky, cute little thing, where he presses his forehead to mine, saying, "i'd love to get in there...know you."
i'm no enigma, i tell him, there's not much in there ;) but i think the main thing he is getting at is he wants to connect in so many ways. it's something so refreshing and wonderful, instead of something like, "man, saliva is so awesome. well, gotta go...frank's comin over to play *insert blood soaked PS2 game here*"
duuuuude.
anyway, that's my rambling for the night....i'm bored too, littlebird. ;)
what i was getting at is that i love the gushy moments. it washes the crap away from a crappy day.

he does this quirky, cute little thing, where he presses his forehead to mine, saying, "i'd love to get in there...know you."

That's pretty good, I'll have to try that one.

Sounds like a nice guy, cko2.

I like when I'm cooking dinner and she will walk into the kitchen, say nothing and put her arms around me. Then she'll just walk away, turn around and smile. And just a little something like that can make my day complete.

he's a good listener too....i told him that...
i'm always talking. 1. i'm a woman 2. i'm a gemini and we talk a helluva lot
so i'm always blathering on about something, good or bad, and he maintains eye contact, nods, smiles, just LISTENS
he doesn't try to play devil's advocate, or act insanely bored even if he is.
i think that's a little thing he's picked up over time..lol...good thing

that's good that you cook dinner to....i think more men should realize that if they do more things to help out, they would have alot happier women on their hands (or under their hands!) :)

see, i'm blabbing again...just wanted to pop on here while resting my feet...nursing shoes suck.

My OM is a good listener as well...but what makes it even better is when he's listening to me talk (I babble too) every once in a while he'll smile then lean over to kiss me mid-sentence. That to me tells me two things 1. He cares about what I'm talking about or 2. He really isn't listening, but loves to hear/see me talk. I have a feeling it's more of #2.

He's a great cook as well! He owns his own restaurant. mmm...Italian food! (Italian Sausage...oops...that's for Sexually Speaking ;) ) I love the warm fuzzy feelings I get when we are together.

Thanks for all your posts...
I'm a romantic that loves to hear that other people are just as mushy as I am.

Neither of us are very "mushy" people, but that doesn't mean we don't have our ways. I love the way he always brings me a huge styrofoam cup of bad cappucino at every gas station, because he always gets one too. I hardly have the heart to tell him it's not necessary because it's so funny. At least he's thinking of me. I like the way he'll buy food he hates for his apartment just so I can have it the small amount of time I'm there. (I like Trix. He hates Trix. He bought Trix.) I get that misty feeling when I see him lying there like a 4-year old curled around his body pillow when he sleeps; it's almost as long as he is and it looks ridiculous. I also love when he gets in a goofy mood and starts humping my leg and making dog noises...guess you had to be there, but it's hilarious. We're weird like that. My favorite thing though is his pet name for me, Special Duck. It sounds like some Chinese dish, but instead of "odd duck" like it was in the beginning, I've become Special Duck. To me that's romance. I've been lavished with cards and flowers by previous boyfriends, but they just don't do it for me. They're such generic gestures that they seem hollow. I'll take the idiosyncratic romance any day.

I know exactly what you're talking about, here... and I think it's kind of funny, actually. We are very weird like that, too, sometimes. Every now and then we'll start talking to each other with horribly imitated foreign accents... actually he was just doing it in a store last weekend.... again, I guess you had to be there. :)

yeah, the silliness is great too. for instance, i wrote him an email and signed it Velma Rae Hudsucker....and he replied, signing Coondog Malone....hehe....so the lil names just kind of stuck. Laughter is the best medicine, fer suuuuure. ;)

yea for happy romantic posts!!

all of these posts made me smile as i read them.

to add my 2 cents worth of cheese: i just bought a condo last year and have been all into decorating it since then. my man has been teasing me about my new obsession with kitchen items, but swears that i'm educating him at the same time. so for valentine's day he got me a beautifully painted trivet (one of those heat tile things you use to keep from burning a table with a hot plate). it was just too cute a gesture.

btw, datura, i looove the special duck name. that's a riot!

stay happy,
sam

Do any of you know "the look"?

You know....the one where you look at your SO and notice them staring at you. They stare so hard and deep that you can feel them looking with out having to turn around.

Sorry...mushy moment!

We are both very sentimental. I cry so easily if something touches me. He will get tears in his eyes also. Ninety five percent of the time we know what the other is thinking. To know someone that intimately is such a trip sometimes.

We always touch each other. When we are talking he used to always kiss me right in the middle of it. Just a peck. On my lips, my cheek, my hand or where ever. He is so affectionate. I have picked up this habit. I love to kiss him. Sometimes if it's lingering it can be distracting. :D For the most part it is just a reminder, I love you. When we're holding hands we will squeeze our hands three times. Another way to say, I love you.

The other day I was in the kitchen. He came up behind me and put his arms around my waist (I'm surprised he even could as big as this baby seems to be) we kissed over my shoulder. I fed him a strawberry he said, "Almost as sweet as you." We kissed again and he said, "Yep, you're sweeter." It was so touching. Corny, but I loved it.:)

When we sleep we have to be touching. That was hard for me at first. Now, I don't sleep well if we aren't. I seem to always wake up if we aren't.

My OM is always corny! He's always saying stuff like, "not as pretty as you" or "it wouldn't be any good if you weren't here". I've gotten used to hearing "lines" so I usually laugh and blow these comments off. It's never been easy for me to take a compliment. I say "what a line! You know what to say..." But I know he actually *means those things! It's such a trip to think someone can be corny AND honest at the same time! I've always been sort of gullible so I try to protect myself (I'm a Cancer) but he really feels that way. It's nice to know and hear :-)

GreenEyedWoman-

We are so fortunate to know what affectionate men are like. We are always touching each other. In fact, we've noticed not too many couples are touchy with each other in public. They are like rare species...we tap the other one on the shoulder wehn we see a couple kiss or seem to be intamate...other than holding hands. I can't keep my hands off of him. I get this great energy from him. Even while we sleep! It's great!

I love to hear everyone's stories...keep writing them! :)

Isn't it the greatest?

Public Displays of Affection! Most people are hesitant to do PDA's.
We do the things I mentioned in my previous post both in public and private. Everyone used to tease us about it! Now, our friends and family are used it. It's just US. His daughter is 9 years younger than I am, she's 33. She is the only one in the family who is bothered by it.

I can't keep my hands off of him either. *Sigh* *Sigh*

I love that so much.

hi all,
i never particularly considered my OM and i to be so very touchy feely, but one night we were out with some of our married friends, and at the end of the evening, they said, isn't great how the two of you have been together for almost 3 years and still hold hands at the movies, or at the dinner table, or sneak a smooch? i guess i just thought that was natural for couples, but like you, EMCAD80, we notice now that we're not necessarily the norm. but i looove to be arm and arm with my man, or have his arm around me when we're together. i wouldn't want it any other way...

i also adore how sensitive my OM is with things i never would've expected before, like pulling my chair out for me, or holding my coat while i put it on, etc. i consider myself to be pretty liberal, and never needed guys to open the door for me, but it just comes off as sweet gestures from my guy now.

have a great weekend everyone!

He somehow senses exactly what I want, he tells me I am beautiful, he doesn’t dwell on our differences. His confidence is charming. I lie in bed thinking of him and his considerate touch. He said he likes me too, to come over anytime, and that he will miss me. He remembers things I tell him and is interested in what I have to say. He asks about my family. He made breakfast and left it in the oven for me when he went to work. He laughs at my jokes. He dispels my fears that I am bothering him by always thanking me for coming by and asking if we will talk tomorrow. In public he touches my arm or my back, like he is proud of us being together. He doesn’t back away from my smile or my touch, he returns my affections but naturally gives me space. His laughter and his voice put me at ease. I cannot imagine ever putting up with any less after knowing him, even if we are not to be. In the last few weeks, I have learned much about how I want to be treated by a man. I want him to know what he means to me, and how much I appreciate him. When we are at work, it is our game to tell each other things that we know about each other already. Like an inside joke, it is funny to us but other people don’t even notice.
