HarrietteS asks: How should I deal with it if my date wants to do more than I do?
Oh this is a really good question. And I really relate to both sides. You see, I’m a big lover, and usually that’s something people like (The singing group I was named after even had a hit song called “Everybody Loves a Lover!”). But sometimes I meet Continue reading

I think the best thing about me is how good I smell. I smell fantastic. Particularly in places you don’t even know about. The only time I don’t like the way I smell is when Handsome shoves me in the bathtub and Continue reading
