Question

Background: after my date on Friday, I was going to invite the guy inside my apartment while we ate our ice cream until I saw (through the window) that my roommate was having a movie night. Before completely deciding to stay outside, I asked if he was cold (he's from Georgia, and he was in shorts, and it was a bit nippy if you're not crazy like me, so it was a valid question). He repeatedly told me he was not, and we sat out on the stairs to talk and eat ice cream.

Skip to twenty or so minutes later.

Is it bad that, when I saw his jaw muscle shivering, I laughed inside? In addition to not repeating my offer of going indoors? Heck, if he's too proud to admit that his comfort level is several degrees higher than mine, I think I almost have a right to be gleeful at his discomfort, but a little voice inside (curse you, Avolin) tells me I should have been kinder.

either way, i think you're lucky. i feel like i must be spewing a wide field of pheramones.

If a guy says he's not cold, I support you in making him stick to it. Eventually he'll completely break down and cry.

Mwaha! That would be wonderful to see, in a sadistic sort of way. (I'm very consciencious of my sadist/morbid tendencies right now; my roommates insist on pointing out that my views in many areas are slightly strange...it creates bothersome effects on my second thoughts.)

while I don't really suggest nurturing sadistic tendencies, its not too bad to get your kicks in a little bit off color way, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone too much. being normal and conforming to social standards all the time can get tiresome and sometimes i feel its necessary to branch out. at least in my case.

I normally don't hurt real people. Fake people: yes. Real people: not as much.
