that's true; didn't think of it that way...
i'd still like to think it was more than just infatuation though
what can i say: despite my denials of it, i'm a romantic- maybe not hopeless, but still a romantic lol

Cynicism is what happens when a person opens their eyes; stops blinking in the sun, and starts wondering "why". Question everything, believe only that which you yourself deem true. Go ahead- Call me cynical.

i'd say time... sometimes lots of it... after the first three to six months the newness wears off and you get to see how much you really still like hangin' with one another... when you've told all your stories more than a few times

but really knowing someone... that can take years, and sometimes a lot more than just dating... either way, enjoy it like millane says... i've never been one who was stingy with using the word 'love' for women who played big or small parts throughout my life... and i meant it too

Bwahahaha. Well, "chuff" is also a colloquial term for "arse" (as in "don't expect him to buy you a pint, he's tight as a gnat's chuff"), so maybe it was a term he had earned in some way... Actually, I think it means "ladies' front bottom" too, so maybe he had a foot on either bus.

* reads Lady Ravyn's contribution *

Ah, bless. How lovely!

Take Millane's advice: call it whatever it means to you and don't forget to have a fantastic time.

My friend was going to call his dog 'Snatch'. It took us ages to figure out why that horrified his dad...

I've never heard the word "chuff" with either of the meanings Gaffer mentioned (maybe it's a Scottish thing?), and "chuffed" meaning happy is a modern expression AFAIK, so I think it's more likely this nickname is just related to his surname - unless it's also a reference to the Elizabethan word "chuff" meaning a stupid or clownish person.

Gee, I'm sorry, I wasn't born in the 1970's... I don't do archaic slang!

Archaic slang, my lily white arse, Janny's just a dim-wit.

I may and may not have found something. (If it's not love it's something da*n close.) I'll update you if anything happens.

About the age I am now... we're just not exposed to the risque side of our parents... maybe it's an England thing that we'd never heard that slang...

Heh! Most Freudian! And ... well, that's the first time I've ever heard of it too, and I guess I'm older than you are, Janny ... even if you are confused about your age. (I heard another word the other day, which I guess has a similar meaning ... but that one isn't even in the dictionary )

Ah, and from an unfortunate experience a couple of days ago, I now know how to tell if the other person really loves you. We were by some boggy ground, and I forgot the insect repellant ... so I got thoroughly bitten by something nasty. The itching the next day on my arms and legs nearly drove me mad. Fortunately the SO was on hand ...

So here is the definition of true love. When someone scratches your insect bites for you


* sits back and waits for the collective 'EWWWWWWWW!'

Funny how I read SO as sow...

Wasn't 'snatch' in your Olympics Colemanballs, Gaffer? Of the weightlifter: Yes I saw this young lady's snatch yesterday and it was most impressive...

Yes. How we laughed.

Surely if you really loved someone, you would tell them that scratching midgy bites just makes them worse??
