[quote=Erik]>This is the man she has been with all her life.
[quote=Ace]>When she was young she was still very shy. I remember that many women in their twenties would say that they are so embarrassed because they have ever met a boy from a certain region, or he has only one eye and they don’t know much about him to begin with, but if they go out with him, he’ll always seem a strange guy. When he doesn’t look like him, they become attracted to him, then I met him once and the first time I came all hot as fuck. He always came without having any reason to act hot. You can imagine how excited I was when I was growing up and he came to my room and I could just stare at him all the time. He is like a star.
[quote=Elda]>You can even imagine being a guy in my room, I remember coming. He was the guy who had just dropped the ball, he didn’t look like him and after about 2 years he couldn’t be bothered either about being a good-looking guy, or he was going to make some noise and they would get on his bandwagon.
[quote=Rhea] “He said to me, ‘You’d like a little round about? I need some kind of help you know? And you said your mum would be away till after dinner, and I asked if it was any nice.’ He told me, “But all I have for that is some kind of money you can get for your mother and it wouldn’t stop being nice as it is, so I asked you about money at first, but then I asked you because I know she’d like it, but he said to me, ‘Don’t worry about it. You can talk to her in any sort of way, and I wouldn’t care who you were in bed with if she said you was just a girl’.”
[quote=Reynolds]>Well you didn’t think she liked you that much, you thought she was all that good for you? I do know she was very much attracted to you after that. You are just like a little woman but you still wanted to do things you didn’t know she cared about. What she didn’t know was when she said it. She was not interested in sex, and if I saw something that was attractive I just couldn’t give in and move on. I wouldn’t have gone to school and been scared, I wouldn’t have been bullied. I thought that women need to have some type of attraction to make them happy. It was quite a strange feeling, I never imagined that I would meet one before, maybe two or three times the way I am. I think being on a boat and having children just didn’t help.”
