They stem from the fact that I have an overabundant respect for other people, so I cannot get myself to just start pawing some girl. 1) When on a date, can I just start pawing a girl? I mean, If I were with a guy and he started pawing me, I'd kill him. Then again, if a girl started pawing me, I probably wouldn't mind. Do any of you women out there mind? ( Theoretically, I mean. ) 2) Should I ask? " Excuse me, but may I paw you?" It just doesn't sound right. 3) Just not pawing, of course, doesn't work. If you don't paw, they think you're gay. Or else just plain whacko. No woman will ask a guy. " Oh, Oh, will you paw me, please?" Never. Women also never start pawing themselves. Agressive females are as rare as Juhoubanicker's comet. I have one in my life, and she's my sister. That's enough for me. Of course, if you ask enough women out, you're bound to have anything happen, but I'm terminally shy.
