Queue and Aye

I decided to take Adrian up on his offer of an interview, as much as I was mildly antsy about what he was going to ask me. Below are his questions and my answers.

You're in a relationship. You're out with the lads. You get lathered. You snog some random bird. Do you feel guilty? Do you tell your chick? Is it really cheating?
In my slighly strange opinion all the elements to this question depend on a number of variable factors. For instance, while I [assume I would] always feel guilty about snogging some unknown chick while I myself am involved in a relationship I think the degree of my guilt would depend on a) how long I've been involved with this person, and b) the duration of the snog. This has happened to me once before, but involved someone I knew really well as opposed to an unknown. To give some insight, I felt almost no guilt at the time as the relationship I was in wasn't particularly serious, I wasn't getting all to much 'action' from it anyway, and the snog was barely a few seconds long. Hence I didn't think it warranted me dropping myself in the shit for. I do still regard it as cheating though.

You're in a bar and some guy is starting shit with you. Eventually he pushed you to the ground. He's taunting you. Do you get up and lamp him in the nads. Or do you crawl away tail between your legs?
Ok, this is a good one. It's even made me think. See, I'm a lover not a fighter. I really couldn't be bothered to get into fights over pissy little comments made about me. They really mean nothing in the bigger picture. Having said all that though, I don't regard myself as an invertebrate either. I think if someone else made the first move on me then yeah, I'd happily serve up a swift kick to the nuts. That's never happened to me though, no one has ever actually hit me before. I think it's because most fights need two people who want to have a fight as opposed to one person who keeps trying to start it and one who just couldn't be bothered. However I'd always help my mates out in a sticky situation, although they're not fighters either.

Having said that there's also a train of thought along the lines of he who throws the first punch stands the best chance of winning (depending on how good your punch is).

Your chick asks you if you can do a threesome, but with an extra bloke. What's your answer?
"ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY NOT!" I'm all up for threesomes with an extra woman... but the idea of another nut sack hanging around just scares me. Mine might touch his and that would be horrific *retch*. Thinking about it, I think the idea of two women is an excellent one, but would [probably] not do it with a steady girlfriend. I think it brings something into the relationship which doesn't need to be there, and which stands a good chance of upsetting a rather delicate balance. I know some friends who decided to try swinging once. She ended up leaving my mate for the bloke she swung with! What does that say about his performance in bed?

You're going to propose on one knee with a ring? Or are you one of those strange people who believes in buying the ring together?
No, I don't reckon so. I'd rather find something that I think is tasteful and timeless. Something uncomplicated, not too big, and without some great jewel hanging off either. I think rings are a symbol of something, and as such have an arbitrary relationship with love. Ie. A bigger diamond doesn't mean I love her more.

When last did you cry? Why? Did it help?
When: About 6 months ago.
Why: Watched a bus leave from Cape Town station. Didn't know what the bus leaving would mean in the long run.
Did it help?: No. But I didn't really expect it too either.
