What the hell? You guys go for the obvious gag whereas I go for subtle irony, paradox and dry understatement and you people think I'M the unfunny one? What a bunch of Jerry Lewis-wannabes.

The point is that the obvious gag is the funny way to go in this particular context - who the hell wants subtle irony, paradox and dry understatement when smut is involved!!?

It's the irony that did it.

I don't know what you think's amusing? There's no gag here and I certainly hope there's no gagging tonight.

As long as nobody bites the pillows gagging should be avoided

You should devise a subtle approach to probe if she wants you for real, or if it's just us Polytubbies having a wet dream. Once the probe is done, I trust you'll know what to do

Dunno. What about coming progressively closer to her when you both cook? Or when you both wash the dishes? Observe her reactions, if she welcomes the fact that you come closer or not.
Since you're friends, what about orienting the conversation on you both's love life. This way, you know if she looks and where she looks. Be aware that she may think she'll give all hints in such a conversation, and we stoopid men generally don't understand these hints. If the conversation looks good, thikn about hinting that you're interested in her, with 'friendly' yet very appreciative comments on her looks and personality.

Well I arrived, and she looked very nice. I said I felt a bit underdressed. Which was very embarassing, she thought I said I wanted to get undressed so I assured her that wasn't the case. She laughed and said I was sweet. Lucky escape! Then I explained the problems about finding the Perl Necklace, I even told her about all your help, she was laughing her head off for some reason. I thought that was good anyway.

Dinner was interesting. We had oysters which were pretty disgusting. Then some kind of asparagus thing. I was still a bit hungry after that and I must have shown it 'cause she asked me if I could see anything else I wanted to eat. I didn't really know what to say so I asked if she had any fruit. She had some bananas (made me think of Apolyton! ) So I had one of those. Then suddenly she seemed to get tired 'cause she said she was ready for bed so I took the hint and left.

I sent her an e-mail this morning saying thanks for dinner. Haven't got a reply yet though.

Oh com'on, how could you miss out on that offer?

Somebody famous once said that a woman can forgive your impulsive actions, but not your calm and coolness (i.e. inaction). It's true

You probably could have gotten some action if you'd given her the perl necklace.

Uh... oysters? Asparagus? "See anything you like?" Bananas (remember Fast Times at Ridgemont High)? A sudden readiness for bed?

And you still didn't get any? At least I had the lame excuse of "I need to make sure my buddies get home."

Actually, I thought so yesterday (see above) but the "oysters and asparagus" line pretty much clinched it. Is this some sort of bizarre Albert Speer pastiche?

pastiche? He didn't say anything about pasties.
