In the very recent past a Darling Friend ask ME for some dating advice. . .

Her quandry was that she is in a relationship.. . . . ahem, “situation”, , , in which she has been dating a guy for 2 months and has recieved no action.   Call me what you want but this situation is not one that I have run into of late.  She asked what she might subtly do to insinuate she was ready for thier “situation” to hop up to the next level physically.   As she is not as direct as I often am, I offered to her the old stand by “movie night.”

As luck would have it, the next day the opportunity presented itself in a phone call from her beau.  He invited her over to his house to watch a movie.  She went charmingly dressed in a low-cut, yet classy top, shaved her legs, and took the advice of what every dating article suggests. . . . .she looked her very best.

Well. . . .it turns out that movie night was just that. . . . movie night.  In addition to their film viewing and pizza (deliberately delivered as to not leave the house) there is nothing that happened worth noting.  In fact, it turns out that they sat, like a gushing river between them, on seperate couches.  The lady left around 10 o’clock.  Peck on the lips.

Now.. .through a very non-scietific poll of both males and females in a variety of environments and across all age groups, I have found that this old stand by may not have been what I thought.  It turns out the that the male persuasion, or a vast majority of them, are unaware that Movie Night at your place or mine is code for nothing short of making out, usually a double play, or, in some situations, full on willingness to oblige in any activity you’d like, except for watching the movie. Or as my friend pointed out it is no way code for anal sex.

So, dear readers. . . . you should note that I said this was the opinion of male participants in my survey.  Not one female questioned on the matter hesitated in saying that they had a full understanding of the code.. .. and a vast majority of them have been operating under the assumption of the code since approximately 9th grade.

Do what you will with this information, but the next time someone invties you over for a movie at their place, remember to shave your legs.
