Jackson’s Girlfriends

Michael Jackson's former bodyguards have spoken out about their late boss, revealing he romanced a string of women with dates in the back of his limousine.  His long-term security guards, Mike Garcia, Bill Whitfield and Javon 'BJ' Beard, agreed to be interviewed on Good Morning America on Tuesday. And the trio divulged personal details of the late singer's life behind closed doors, insisting Jackson had at least two steady girlfriends whose identities have remained a secret - and he took them on dates driving up and down the Las Vegas strip when he lived there.  When asked about the child molestation charges which were levied at Jackson despite his acquittal at a 2005 trial, all three insisted the star was not guilty of the accusations.
Whitfield says, "Being a man... men know men, and we (were) around him long enough to know he was a man." While Garcia adds, "(He had) desires of women like we do. He had lovers."
And Whitfield goes on to describe Jackson's various romantic encounters in the back of his limousine: "In the cars that we had, we had a curtain that covered the back seat. You couldn't see in the back seat. They talked back there, they didn't do nothing out of bounds... you can hear the kissing."

****They also added, “Men know men.  And he knew we were men because he made us take our shirts off when we went to work!!

****If he had two steady girlfriends, they’re the only two people on Earth who HAVEN’T come forward yet!!!

*****They weren’t just his bodyguards—

*****They’re also the only three men on the planet who AREN’T suing Jackson!!!

****That’s right fellas—you’re only in the will if you read THIS list of things we want Michael to be remembered for!!!

 

 

 

 

Cowell Talks About The Ladies

Simon Cowell is dishing on the ladies in his life  --  Mezhgan, Ellen, and Paula.  He was on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" Monday night, where he predicted he'd get married sometime "within the next ten years."  Cowell joked about his rumored engagement to Mezhgan Hussainy, saying, quote, "I kinda made a decision this year to make somebody happy, so that's how I...it's called giving back."  About former "Idol" judge Paula Abdul, he reveals that two have some plans together.  Cowell says, quote, "Something will happen with me and her at some point."  He also talked about current "Idol" judge Ellen DeGeneres and the supposed tension between them.  Cowell says, quote, "We got on fine.  We don't see each other before the show, we do the show.  Sometimes we agree, sometimes we disagree, but I did take it quite personally when she moved away from me...no!  I'm kidding."

****In fact, he was wearing Mezghan’s shirt during the interview.

****…and she was very happy about it!!!

****The tension between Cowell & Ellen exists because they constantly bicker about who has had more women!!!

****And then Simon judged her dancing, and it was all over!!

 

 

 

O'Brien Follows 1 On Twitter

Conan O'Brien now has his own Twitter account and has spent the last few weeks following a Fowlerville, Michigan woman at random. 19-year-old Sarah Killen -- a bride-to-be -- has seen her profile elevate considerably since O'Brien started following her tweets. Now, Killen tells Popeater.com that plans for her wedding are getting easier. Killen says, quote, "I'm getting married on September 25, and we didn't know if we would be able to afford it. Now I'm getting custom made shoes and a dress from Kelima in New York...We're getting a limo, Classic Creations is giving us wedding bands and there's a vineyard in California sending us wine. We've got it all covered now." Killen adds that O'Brien is not only invited to her wedding, but her fiance wants him to be the best man.

****Well, he’s got time!!!

*****I picture a resort where Conan, and the hundreds of CBS radio ex-employees are sitting around, living the high life while waiting for their contracts to run out!!!

*****What did Jay Leno do for your wedding?!?!

****I hope Conan follows me around tax time!!!

*****Too bad they’ll be divorced by the time Conan is back on TV!!!

 

 

 

Renner Talks About Simpson

Oscar nominated actor Jeremy Renner of "The Hurt Locker" says he didn't have time to flirt with Jessica Simpson when they met before the Oscars.  UsMagazine.com quotes the actor who says a previous story about him hitting on Simpson is false.  Renner says he only met the singer  for about "three minutes."  The two met at a pre-Oscar bash held by Madonna's manager Guy Oseary, who happens to live next door to Simpson.  But the conversation was really about Renner's mother's hair.  He says, quote, "Her hair stylist [Ken Paves] did my mom's hair so we were talking about that  --  and then all of a sudden we're dating!"  Renner took his mother as his date to the Oscars Sunday, where "The Hurt Locker" won six awards including Best Picture.  The actor says he's "single and looking" but that he's "not a ladies man."

*****Does that mean he’s gay?!?!

*****In which case, he should have been in the “Hurt Shower” and not the Hurt Locker!!!

****I dunno, but I would have just let people think I was dating Jessica Simpson instead of talking about her hairdresser for my mom!!!

******That’s what Billy Corgan did.

 

 

 

 

White To Host SNL

Betty White is confirming that she'll host an upcoming episode of "Saturday Night Live."  The 88-year-old has been championed by Facebook enthusiasts as a perfect host for the NBC comedy show for several weeks.  The ground swell of support followed White's sassy turn in a Snickers ad that aired during Super Bowl.  White initially had dismissed the idea of hosting the edgy show as, quote, "ridiculous," but now is confirming her next big gig.  White told "People" at an Oscar party on Sunday that she will indeed be a future "SNL" host, adding, quote, "I don't know why or how, but it's been wonderful."

****See kids.  Tweeting does make a difference!!!

*****She still doesn’t know what a personal computer is, so seriously—HOW she got the gig is a mystery!!!

*****Looks like a steady diet of Snickers bars for Betty!!

 

 

O'Neal Angry About Fawcett Snub

Ryan O'Neal is expressing his thoughts on the omission of Farrah Fawcett during an "In Memoriam" segment at Sunday's Academy Awards.  He says he will write a letter to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences expressing his disappointment.  O'Neal says he and his daughter Tatum felt, quote, "shocked" that the "Charlie's Angels" actress was overlooked. TMZ also reports that 88-percent of voters to its site felt Fawcett's absence from the segment was inappropriate. 

Although most famous for her TV work, Fawcett's big screen credits included "The Cannonball Run" with Burt Reynolds and "Dr. T and the Women" with Richard Gere.

****Why is he upset?  Does he get residuals?!?!

****I’m more offended that the two biggest applauses came for a drug abuser and a pervert!

****(i.e. Michael Jackson and David Carradine!!)

 

 

Bullock's Dress

Sandra Bullock captured more than just an Oscar at Sunday night's Academy Award ceremony.  She is also the runaway winner in a PopEater.com poll regarding wardrobe.  Three out of five people taking part in the online survey say they think Bullock, with her Marchesa gown, was the best dressed woman at the event.  Taking a distant second place is Cameron Diaz, with 20-percent approving of her Oscar de la Renta gown.  Ten-percent believe Rachel McAdams' Elie Saab Couture dress was the best of the night, while Mo'Nique's Tadashi Shoji gown and Kristen Stewart's Monique Lhuillier design most impressed five-percent each.

*****And 2% of those who took part in the survey were straight men!!!

*******Exactly 50% said that during the Oscars, they forgot that Alec Baldwin was a raging a-hole!!!

 

 

Cyrus Taking Time Off

Miley Cyrus is planning to take some time off from making music.  That's what she tells the April issue of "Teen Vogue."  Cryus says, quote, "The more I make music that doesn't truly inspire me, the more I feel like I'm blending in with everyone else.  So after this next album, I'm taking some time off."  Her "Last Song" co-star and boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth, doesn't share her musical talent.  But Cyrus says that's fine with her.  She says, quote, "It's refreshing to work with an actor who isn't also a singer and dancer and musician and artist and this and that.  I'm sick of quadruple threats who do everything when they should stick to one thing."  Cyrus calls Hemsworth "a really freaking good actor."  While Cyrus promises a music hiatus, there won't be an acting break.  She says she's currently working on drama, comedy, and action films.  The "Hannah Montana" star says, quote, "I don't know if you noticed the past few years of my career?  I don't really believe in breaks."

****Looks like Billy Ray Cyrus will be getting some unemployment checks in the mail pretty soon!!

****If Miley is sick of quadruple threats who do everything when they should stick to one thing—

****….she can hardly live with herself!!

****She should take her own advice, and get her face taken off about 80% of all toys manufactured today!!!

*****Ladies in gentleman, please buckle your safety belts as we witness the steep decline of Miley Cyrus’ career!!!

 

 

Lohan Sues E-Trade

Lindsay Lohan is taking offense to an E-Trade Super Bowl ad.  She believes a line in the E-Trade commercial about a "milkaholic," boyfriend-stealing baby named Lindsay was about her.  The 23-year-old filed a 100-million-dollar lawsuit Monday in Nassau County Supreme Court.  Her lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, says her client has the same type of single-name recognition as stars like Oprah and Madonna.  Ovadia says, quote, "Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit.  They used the name Lindsay.  They're using her name as a parody of her life.  Why didn't they use the name Susan?  This is a subliminal message.  Everybody's talking about it and saying it's Lindsay Lohan."  Since the E-Trade ad has been seen by countless people since its Super Bowl debut, Lohan's lawyer wants 50-million in exemplary damages and 50-million in compensatory damages.  She also wants an injunction that would take the commercial off the air and hand over every existing copy to Lohan.

****See the Commercial Here!

*****Actually, Lindsay VONN has that single name distinction now!!!

*****Turns out, there ARE consequences to NOT working!!!

******I saw the commercial and thought it was about Angelina Jolie!!!

****Because some people just have that instant boyfriend stealing recognition!!

 

 

 

 

Montag Spoofs Surgery

The folks over at Funny or Die.com somehow got Heidi Montag to make fun of herself for the sake of credit card reform.  In their latest short, the fake blonde star of "The Hills" talks about some of her recent surgeries (awesome!), Lauren Conrad (hot!) and how you can contact your senator to push bank and credit card reform (bor-ing).  The video was directed by Ron Howard & Jake Szymanski and features a cameo from Heidi's husband, Spencer Pratt.  We think it's pretty funny; but most of all despite any of the recent photos of Heidi's new assets that we've seen, the video gives a really good idea of how big those breast implants really are. Here's to the next size up, Heidi!

*****See the video Here!

****With all her replacement parts, maybe she should be Heidi “MAYTAG” now!!!

******I know how they “somehow” got her to do it…

****They had Ron Howard direct her!!

*****If every American had health care, then ALL women would have bigger boobs.

****THAT’S how you sell it, Obama!!!

 

 

 

 

Penn Oscars Blurb

Sean Penn's publicist said the overlooked actress the Hollywood star referred to onstage at Sunday's Oscars ceremony was Penn's estranged wife, Robin Wright.  Penn confused audience members when he said before presenting the award for lead actress: "I never became an official member of the Academy (of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences,) but the Academy and I do have in common that we neglected to acknowledge the same actress in our own ways two years running. So, I'm going to start fresh with the Academy and acknowledge these wonderful actresses."

The actor's representative Mara Buxbaum told the Los Angeles Times in an e-mail she thinks the mystery woman to which Penn referred was Robin Wright, who filed for divorce from him last year. "It would be a reasonable assumption to say he was referring to Robin Wright, because he didn't thank her last year in his acceptance speech," Buxbaum told the Times. "The Academy failed to nominate her this year for 'The Private Lives of Pippa Lee.'"

****The private lives of who?!?!

****”Neglect” would be one of the better things he did to and for his ex-wife!!!

*****Yet nobody “Kanye’d” Sean Penn!!!!

Vienna’s and Jake’s Dark Secrets (US Magazine)

Maybe “The Bachelor” star Jake Pavelka, 32, and resident villain Vienna Girardi, 23, ARE a perfect match. Niki West, Pavelka’s ex-business partner in his Texas-based limousine company, PrimeStar Transportation, tells US Pavelka withdrew $4,000 from a business account to spring for a personal getaway to NYC with a gal pal in 2009. (An unpaid employee even had to get money from Pavelka’s mom, claims West.) The alleged fleecing ruined the friendship. “You can’t trust him,” West says. The same goes for Girardi, according to a source, who says the ex-Hooters girl – who currently works as a receptionist at hair salon – claimed to have been engaged to her pastor’s son only after she found out Pavelka was religious. But Girardi isn’t lying about her no-frills 2005 courthouse elopement with ex Josh Riley. His mom, Gale, tells US, “They wore blue jeans.”

Simon Finally Settles Down! (Life & Style)

Notorious bachelor Simon Cowell is singing a different tune and getting serious with American Idol makeup artist Mezhgan Hussainy. In fact, Simon’s mom, Julie Cowell, told a British paper that “Mish,” 36, has moved into Simon’s LA mansion and that a trip down the aisle in imminent. “I’m so happy Simon is getting married,” said Julie, 84. “She’s a lovely woman, and he’s so happy.” Simon’s fellow X-Factor judge Louis Walsh also added to the wedding buzz, saying, “I’m very, very surprised, but I’m delighted he’s gotten engaged.”

Simon, 50, has yet to confirm the engagement himself, but Mezhgan was sporting a nearly $400,000 Graff diamond on her ring finger when the pair celebrated Valentine’s Day at Mr. Chow in London. “I would assume it’s true,” an insider close to the grumpy judge told Life & Style. One thing is for sure: He’s smitten. “She’s the one,” Simon said on Feb. 16. “I think I need to have little Simons around.”

Toilet Paper Poll

According to Cottonelle's highly publicized "Roll Poll," nationwide 72-percent like their toilet paper to go over the roll, while just 28-percent prefer the under roll.  In most states at least 80-percent percent of residents are "overs."  Only four states are below the 80-percent mark.  In Idaho 77-percent are "overs," while 76-percent of New Yorkers are "overs."  California and Connecticut are the most closely divided on the subject.  Over just edges out under in California 54-to 64-percent, while in Connecticut the "overs" have it by just a six-percent margin. "Overs" also tend to be more picky about how the roll rolls.  Nearly 75-percent of "overs" say they notice when the toilet paper is hung "wrong," and 24-percent admit they get annoyed if the roll has been -- in their eyes -- hung improperly.  Psychotherapist and relationship expert Dr. Gilda Carle says people's rolling preferences says something about their personality.  She notes, quote, "People who roll over like taking charge, crave organization and are likely to overachieve.  It seems to me that Americans are passionate about rolling over due to the sense of control that it gives them."

****Next poll… Are you a Front to back… or back to front????

****I think more people need to put some magazines in their bathrooms!!!

*****Nobody just SQUEEZES the Charmin anymore!!!

Johnston Pays Back Child Support

Levi Johnston is finally up to date with Bristol Palin. He made good on a court order to pay back child support to Palin, with whom he fathered a child, Tripp.  He paid out about 21-thousand-500 dollars to his former high school girlfriend. Levi's reps said that the large sum, quote, "came out of his pocket."

Pursuant to an Alaskan judge's ruling, Johnston must continue to pay one-thousand-750 dollars per month in child support.

****In times of recession, Levi Johnston can afford to pay $21,500!!!

****I’m going to drive up to Alaska and get some girls pregnant!!!

****It’s obviously the path to success!!!

*****Now his child support payments are what I make!!!

Avatar Proposal

A British man said his girlfriend accepted the video marriage proposal he arranged to have screened before a showing of "Avatar" at his local movie theater.  Bryan Hughes, 35, said he created a film of his fiancee's friends and family singing Lou Reed's 1970s hit "Perfect Day" and arranged for the head projectionist at Vue Cinema in Basingstoke, England, to show the homemade movie prior to the scheduled screening of movie.  Hughes said he excused himself to the restroom before the film started and reappeared at the end of the song to drop to his knee and propose marriage. 

Fifty of the couple's closest friends, who were hiding incognito among the movie-going crowd, stood to cheer when Kerrie Richardson, 27, accepted the proposal and a party was held outside while the real audience enjoyed "Avatar."

****How romantic.

*****A marriage proposal set to the tune of a song about getting high with the one you love!!!

Fake Amber Alert

Police in Houston said they canceled an Amber Alert after learning a man lied about his nephew's abduction to speed investigation of his stolen car.  Investigators said the man, whose name was not reported, told police Sunday he had been carjacked at 4:15 a.m. by two thieves who drove off with his nephew, Kevin Williams, 6, sleeping in the back seat of the 2000 Lincoln Navigator.  Police said the man later admitted there had not been a child in the car and he misled investigators to get more attention from officers. Police said it was unclear whether the man even has a nephew named Kevin Williams. Police officials said they plan to press charges against the man for filing a false report.

*****As someone who has had cars stolen…at least he got their attention!!!

*****It really WAS the only way to get them on the case!!!

A British man who raised money for charity by taking a roller coaster ride in the nude said it was his 298th thrill ride in the buff.  Richard Jones, 27, of Churchdown, England, a lifelong roller coaster fan, said his recent nude ride on the Nemesis coaster at England's Alton Towers marked the 298th time he has taken off his clothes and gone for a roller coaster ride for charity.  Jones said his rides have included coasters across Europe and North America, including his favorite, the Top Thrill Dragster at Ohio's Cedar Point amusement park.  "Ever since I was 4 I have been hooked on roller coasters. It's an escape from time because it takes you somewhere you don't normally go," Jones said.

"Hurtling along at 80 mph also gets the adrenaline going. Doing it naked is a lot more difficult because it does get very cold."

****I’m guessing around Christmas time, this guy has a lot of “alone time!!”

*****That’s great.  As long as I don’t have to sit in the car after him!!!!

*****The bugs hit worse when there’s no shirt to protect you!!!

*****The good news is that if he pukes, clean-up is a lot easier!!!

*****Funny how no one asked him WHAT charity he was doing it for!!!

*******There wasn’t a lot of eye contact made during the interview!!!

 

 

 

Home Repossessed

A Pittsburgh-area woman is suing Bank of America, claiming it wrongfully repossessed her home and saying that a bank contractor trashed the house and took her parrot.  Forty-six-year-old Angela Iannelli sued Bank of America in Allegheny County on Monday. She claims her mortgage payments were on time when the contractor damaged furniture, took her pet parrot and padlocked the door to her Allison Park home in October.  Bank of America declined to comment.

The suit seeks unspecified damages.  Iannelli's attorney says she suffered irreparable emotional damage and is afraid to set foot in the house. The lawsuit says she eventually regained possession of the bird, named Luke, after repeated phone calls to the bank.

****Why is she damaged?

****That’s exactly the kind of customer service we’ve all grown to expect from Bank of America!!!

******I’m only shocked that they didn’t kill the bird instantly and make a hat out of it!!!

******I’m not a betting man, but I bet B of A wins the lawsuit!!!

***If they can take your house for no reason, they have enough money for lawyers to ignore the whole thing!!!

 

 

 

Horny Woman

A 101-year-old woman has grown a horn on her head - and now fears she's growing another one.  Zhang Ruifang, of Linlou village, in central China's Henan province, noticed a small lump on her forehead last year.  But it is now six centimeters long - and a small lump has now appeared on the other side of her forehead.  Her youngest son, Zhang Guozheng, said the horn started as a patch of thick, rough skin on the left side of her forehead.  "We didn't pay too much attention to it at first," he said.

"But as time went on it just grew and grew.  "And now there is something growing on the right side of her forehead and it seems quite possible that it's another horn."

Zhang has seven children - six boys and a girl - and many grandchildren. Her eldest son is 82-years-old.

*****She is DIABLO!!!

*****Too bad she’s not younger.  Those horns would give you something to hold on to!!!

****Sounds like she “messed with the bull” at one time or another!!!

 

 

 

 

Guy Marries Cushion

A Japanese man showed he was one big softy when he married the love of his life - a giant cushion.  Lee Jin-gyu has fallen head over heels for a Japanese 'dakimakura' - or hugging pillow - showing a life sized cartoon of his favourite sexy anime cartoon character Fate Testarossa.

Now Jin, 28, has wed the pillow in a special ceremony in Tokyo after fitting it out with a wedding dress for the service in front of a local priest.  "He is completely obsessed with this pillow and takes it everywhere," said one friend.  "They go out to the park or the funfair where it will go on all the rides with him.  "Then when he goes out to eat he takes it with him and it gets its own seat and its own meal," they added.  Hugging pillows have become a huge hit in Japan as a way for teenage fans to get to grips with their favorite cartoon fantasy women.

***See Picture Of The Day!

*****If Japan isn’t careful, they’re going to beat Germany out for their weird sex-obsessions!!!

*****As long as it isn’t a man pillow.  That would be wrong!!!

 

 

 

Booster Club Porn DVDs

Officials with a California school district said they have addressed parent complaints about racist and pornographic DVDs and books sold by a booster club.  Moreno Valley Unified School District Superintendent Rowena Lagrosa said all items have been removed from the empty Box Springs Elementary School classroom where the booster club held a sale that some parents said featured pirated DVDs and books with pornographic and racist content.  "We've investigated and taken appropriate action," Lagrosa said. She said the school's principal, teachers and booster club members were unaware of the inappropriate items until a concerned parent brought them to the attention of officials.  Parent Christina O'Donnell said she bought several of the offending items at the Feb. 26 sale. She said they included pornographic and R-rated films as well as a book titled "Aryan Nation Brotherhood" with a swastika on the cover.

*****That had to have been a step-dad who brought that stuff!!

*****Unfortunately, they were more upset at the pirating than the racism or content!!!

****That’s Southern California for you!!!

Edwards Won't Be Suspended

Driver Carl Edwards will not be suspended for sending Brad Keselowski airborne during this weekend's Kolbalt Tools 500 in Atlanta.  NASCAR president Mike Helton says after an investigation, Edwards is being punished.   With just four laps to go in Atlanta, Edwards drove up behind Keselowski and turned him.  That caused Keselowski's car to go airborne and land on its roof.  Several fans were injured by flying debris from the car, but Keselowski was okay.  Edwards was down more than 100 laps at the time, after a crash with Keselowski earlier in the race. 

Edwards was black flagged after the later crash. 

*****NASCAR realized they would lose so many viewers if they limited crashing!!!

*****Also, Carl Edwards is a big star and they saw what happened to golf when Tiger was put out!!!

*****If you’re down 100 laps…why not cause some excitement!?!?!

KISS Kids Show

Get ready for a possible cartoon version of KISS.  They have inked a deal with production company E1 to create a half-hour comedy targeted at a children's audience.  E1 executive Frank Saperstein said of the project, quote, "It's wonderful to collaborate with the creative forces behind one of the greatest rock bands of all time and unquestionably one of the most recognized worldwide."  E1 has played a role in leveraging the KISS brand and has attempted to get the rockers out in front of younger audiences in the process. The production company lists KISS' appearance in a Dr. Pepper ad during Super Bowl 44 and a high-profile guest spot on "American Idol" as examples of the band's longevity.

****Meanwhile, Marilyn Manson has a 2-week story arc on “Sesame Street!!”

*****Just because you HAVE kids, doesn’t mean you should be AROUND kids!!!

*****To kids, KISS are the world’s scariest clowns!!!!

Wayne Prison Details

Rapper Lil Wayne will serve his year-long sentence with the general population of New York's Riker's Island Prison, contrary to reports he would be forced into protective custody. Initial reports suggested city officials would force Lil Wayne into protective custody out of concern for the rapper's safety and health following his dental surgery. However, Correction Department spokesman Stephen Morello tells the New York Daily News he will have "general population escort" status at Rikers Island.  Morello also claims the agency never received a request from Lil Wayne to be treated differently from other inmates, adding, "It's his choice." He could be out in eight months pending good behavior.

*****I hope he expects to hear “you got a pretty mouth” A LOT!!!!

*****They could do a Lil Wayne Looking for Love in Prison reality show!

Four Ways to Take Flirtatious Risks

MSN LIFESTYLE

 

 

 

 

1. Build up to bigger risks.
A series of small risks that slowly lead somewhere may be more productive — and less potentially emotionally debilitating — than taking one HUGE risk. For instance, the two small risks I took — inviting this man to my dinner party, and giving him that little hug — helped us feel each other out without either of us being pushed too far out of our comfort zone. Had I taken a bigger risk — like drinking too much at his party to get myself psyched up for hanging around longer, for instance — that might have backfired. As it is, I feel like I've gotten to know an interesting person a little bit better, and I'm content with that.


 

 

2. Two drinks or less.
I tend to really regret impulsive decisions I've made when wasted, but not impulsive decisions I've made after a glass or two of wine. A little booze can help loosen us up and relax enough to trust our instincts, but having too much in order to help yourself do something you're nervous about doing is never a great plan.


 

 

3. Pick the right person to flirt with.
Taking risks with a considerate person is infinitely preferable to taking them with a jerk. How to tell if a person is considerate? I know; it's not easy. But your gut will probably give you a good indication. Also, if he treated you with respect and courtesy when you met, and if he responds to your e-mails, texts, etc., in a timely way, those are good signs. I find that the only risks that are painful for me are the ones in which a person just ignores a gesture I've made; as long as someone responds and explains — as a considerate person is likely to — it doesn't hurt so much, even if he doesn't do what I was hoping he would.


 

 

4. Be affectionate in person, not electronically.
Use technological means of communication for making invitations and setting up dates; wait until you're in person to express affection. When you tell someone you think he's sexy or fascinating by e-mail or text, it can seem like a bigger deal than it would if you simply said — off-handedly and spontaneously, in person: "Wow, man, how cool are you?" Or, "Dude, you look hot in those jeans." Or whatever it is you feel compelled to say.
