Truth of The Matter

Texting, email, chat programs and chat rooms have become every day ways of communicating with others. Whether in the same house or across the world, we connect and talk.

This mode of exchanging thoughts has also opened a new avenue for flirting. How simple is it to send a teasing text meant to let someone know you are thinking about them in a naughty way? It is even a greater thrill to receive a similar text! However, sometimes things don’t work out the way you’d like in the world of flirting.

Put your cell on your lap so I can taste you!

A friend of mine sent the teasing text message from her cell phone to her boyfriend’s.

You don’t want to taste me right now I’m sweaty, sticky, filthy and dirty.

My friend stared at the response. Needless to say, it wasn’t exactly what she expected! I laughed in observing her expression. His words obviously didn’t conjure up a palatable image. Guys are known for saying it like it is – unlike women!

“I don’t get it!” my friend groaned, “If he were to have sent ME that message I would have told him to bring it on or something like that. I wouldn’t have said I was sticky and dirty!”

Assuring my friend she shouldn’t take his response too seriously, I shared the wisdom I’ve gained in living in a male dominant household for over twenty years.

“He was telling you the truth of the matter,” I explained, “You should be happy.”

“Happy? Why?”

“Would you rather have him tell you what he thought you wanted to hear and get you worked up for nothing? Read between the lines, his text sounds as though he’s tired and hungry after working all day. No one is fun in that state of mind. Give him time to unwind then see what happens.”

She sipped her drink as she considered my words. Shaking off her disappointment, we changed the subject and chatted for several minutes before she suddenly jumped as her cell phone vibrated. Flipping open the phone, she smiled as she read the text.

Good vibrations, baby? ;)

After a brief exchange, she looked at me with a blush on her face. “You were right! He’s had time to himself and is ready to play.”

Shrugging my shoulders, I chuckled, “What can I say? It’s a gift!”

We talked for a few minutes more before she gave me a quick hug and set off to be with her boyfriend.

I smiled as she bounced happily out the door. Rising from my chair, I heard my cell phone alerting me to an incoming text message. I picked it up, read the message and smiled to myself because my husband was on his way home --Let the games begin!

Peace
