Fair play if you can make it work,
I mostly encountered folks trying it out in their early twenties, and the degree of pants-on-head retarded behaviour they were capable of was just staggering.

Aha, there's the secret ingredient then -
I was in my early twenties but the bloke involved was 40. And Dutch.

this doesn't surprise me
I was shagging a girl at uni for a while, she wasn't interested in more than fuck buddy status, but I was.

Trying to establish where we stood I was like "so do we kiss when not drunk?" and other such questions. These questions led to her saying, "I don't think this whole thing is a good idea" however, my response of *shrugs* "fair enough, yeah, you are probably right"

Clearly I had been showing too much interest previously, and god forbid a man should do that to a woman, but turning the interest down a couple of notches made her almost raring for it. Unfortunately things didn't work out, she started batting for the other team after being seduced by a Jewish lesbian (who has since died falling off a railway platform) and all I got out of the whole thing was some sex, some confusion and this story: www.b3ta.com/questions/thattaughtem/post77416
