It’s Sunday and time for another Sunday Boyfriend post. This week I turned the focus on one of my Sunday Boyfriends, my East Coast SB, and did a little Q&A. If you’ve been reading my blog, you know I described him as a confident and cocky gamer. By this I mean he’s up for anything; including answering questions that might make other men uncomfortable. He always calls it like he sees it so I never have to question what he thinks or his motives. Thanks for being so forthright, ECSB. You’re the best!
So take a read to get into what it’s like to be a Sunday Boyfriend from my East Coast SB. And remember, he’s single.
Q: Boxers or briefs?
A: Boxers, since I was 12. My brother mentioned that briefs make you sterile so I made the switch then and never looked back. Briefs are way too confining.
Q: Pool or pond?
A: Haha! This is from Caddyshack. Only a guy would know that! Pond…unless a pool is available.
Q: What do you like about being a SB?
A: I get to talk to Katie. Sexual tension.
Q: What do you dislike about being a SB?
A: Constantly explaining that sexual tension is inevitable. It’s just what happens when men and women are around each other a lot. Doesn’t mean you have to let it ruin things or give in, but you WILL have to acknowledge it.
Q: Have you been a SB to anyone else? If so how many, for how long, what was great about each one, and why (if applicable) did it end?
A: Yes. One. For 10 years or so. It kinda fell apart when she got married to a jerk who was jealous of our relationship. When the marriage failed we reconnected but the sexual tension broke us apart for a few years, we are now talking again and have accepted each other’s roles as we found they did add something to our lives. We share a lot about dating failures and we make each other laugh a LOT.
Q: Over the course of the years we’ve known each other, how did any of your significant others react to you being my Sunday Boyfriend?
A: They didn’t, really. My last girlfriend was never aware of you, mostly because we didn’t talk much then. She wasn’t too jealous a girlfriend, until I broke up with her.
Q: Okay, be honest now, do you read the blog? If so, what is your favorite post and why?
A: I read the one about me. It’s always interesting to see how other view you, it’s hard to know how we look through someone else’s eyes because we only see things through our own.
Q: What is the single most important thing you look for in a SG?
A: Honesty (and a great butt.). A close second is making me laugh. But overall I think women by nature don’t always say what they mean, not out of deceit; I think people try to search for the right answer too much.
Q: What was your first impression of me? You can be honest, really.
A: Perky, cute, a little crazy (but that’s a good thing).
Q: What three adjectives best suit you?
A: Calm, cool, and collected.
Q: What does a great Sunday Boyfriend date verses a great boyfriend date look like to you?
A: They should be the same, though one will end with sex.
Q: It’s a typical Saturday night…whatcha doing?
A: Watching a hockey game during the winter; out at the beach house during summer.
Q: What would you say is the most challenging thing about being a SB?
A: Hearing a girl complain there are no nice guys. To quote, “all the nice guys are in the friend zone, where you left them”. This is where I see the most of not meaning what you say. I hear a lot of women say they want a nice guy, funny, etc. But then they pile up nice guy friends who they complain to. In reality they want to find all that’s wrong with their past male relationships and change that. Except men don’t change easily, we’re stubborn, we like what we like and it usually involves nudity and/or sports.
Quick fire choices…first reactions from your gut…what is more important to you:
Smarts or looks? Smart.
Funny or money? Funny.
Carefree or planner? Carefree, but responsible.
Fashion or football? Seriously? Football.
Movie or concert? Concert.
Jeans or skirts? Skirt, with boots please.
Casual or formal? Casual.
Pleasing everyone or being true to yourself? Be true. You have to be yourself or it’s obvious you are a fake. If someone doesn’t appreciate that well, that’s their problem not yours.
Q: What is the one thing you think women get wrong about dating?
A: They believe what they see in movies. Those are scripts read but actors that spend a lot of time in makeup and with personal trainers.
Q: What is the one thing you think men get wrong about dating?
A: Don’t try to sleep with her on the first date. See if she can get your heart to smile–the sex will be a million times better that way.
Q: Name two things that attract you to someone?
A: How much she can make me laugh, and how much she is her own person undefined by others.
Q: What is your favorite thing in the world to do?
A: Take photos of beautiful things.
A: Best – Katie time! You are zany and totally entertaining.
Worst – the fact that you didn’t sleep with me when you had the chance.
