the infernal optimist and i were having some fun in the comments to one of her recent blog ||{1}||. i expressed the sentiment that my wife & i are "that couple": the couple you see periodically, doing offensively cute things in public. she thought that funny as she and her husband do the same.
well now, in the places where i hang my hat online, that calls for a poll. so here we are: my first soulcast poll.
what are the most obnoxiously offensively cutesy games you've ever been part of as a romantic couple?

Sadly, none. My own and Brent's own keen paranoia about these things in the public realm keep us in our own tight lidded world. Having seen and dealt with bashings, we just avoid it. -

surely you guys have some when you're in a safe area? a club, a museum, etc? ed -

We have a number thing. We use certain numbers that mean specific things to us. And we sometimes we just random start talking in those numbers. -

We call each other stuff like "Angel" (story there) and really cutesy it up when people are already kind of giving us that "oh, barf" look. We also have a private word that's deeper - to us - than even "love." We're not afraid to use it in public, though we'd not volunteer the whole story there. We just have lots of little things and games that we do/play when we're out together and when we're home, too. And we've been known to match t-shirts on occasion, *usually* accidentally. ;-) We hold hands if one of us doesn't have our daughter in his/her arms, and if we can't do that, then every so often we'll bump shoulders as a sort of hug without being able to do more. :) Yes, we're dorks. But we're happy dorks. -

I have never been "that" couple, so perhaps I am wasting your space by saying anything at all. My husband is the annoying kind that will say something stupid when I am standing in the checkout line. Once, he had the audacity to point out very loudly, a blemish on the back of my neck. If someone is telling us to get a room, it would only be because he/she is tired of hearing us argue. No, I exaggerate. But only on the very last part. -

If a Weenieville tag shows up on this post, it was not me. I will never again add tags to other people's posts no matter hard it is to resist. -

A weekend laugh is what I needed. My boyfriend, husband, now ex- always held my hand in public. Always. Finally one of our friends commented on how romantic he had become since meeting me because he was always holding my hand. He replied, "If I don't, it will be grabbing my butt!" -

I thought my former gf and I had the most obnoxious cutesy routine. We'd call each other made up names that sounded cute in front of everyone, and go through the list to see who would run out. But then I saw my friend's new gf when a bunch of us were hanging out. They smiled, looked at each other, and scrunched up their noses. Then, like bunnies, they got together like this and kept rubbing noses. Wow, can you say disgustingly cute. -

Don't have a boyfriend or a husband... my ex used to pretend we were going to have a baby and we were shopping for a layette. He used to put his hand on my tummy and pretended that it got kicked extra hard. All the sales girls believed it! damn...there I go again. -
silverwhisper said on Aug 05, 2006....
super z: the number thing is familiar to me. :> alienated: why not tag? if it's an honest to goodness point, i think it useful. i tag heavily and i try to select tags that meet some kind of objective standard for accuracy. i don't [i]maliciously[/i] tag, if that's your concern. ed -
ALIENated said on Aug 05, 2006....
I tried to be funny (with some tags), but it was not that funny. I have a new post to apologize to the world (of SoulCast), but I cannot get the post process to work. It started crapping out in the middle of the night last night. Some one call SoulCast. I am starting to shake. -
Zayda said on Aug 05, 2006....
Silver: hmmmm..you're familiar with the number thing? Interesting. -
LadyGamer said on Aug 05, 2006....
I haven't been "that couple". Ever. However. With my children there is no limit to the humiliatingly cutey cuteness I will reach for. -
schreist said on Aug 05, 2006....
Heh well we tend to um.. be touchy in public when nobody is looking. And I do mean touchy :D Not graphic but definately sexual. Hand on butt, quick nipple squeeze, a bite on the back of the neck, and the occasional full grope... it's exciting and entertaining... Is it romantic? hmm well some might think so -
silverwhisper said on Aug 05, 2006....
super z: was once involved in a relationship where we did that. in that case, it was b/c the nature of the relationship was kept secret from our very tightly-knit circle of friends. LG: i believe that's a right reserved by all parents. and knowing you as i do, i think it's fair to say that you wield that weapon w/ considerable proficiency. :D ed -
Zayda said on Aug 05, 2006....
I almost forgot, the hubby and I do the nauseatingly cute name game, particularly when we are around a few of the hubby's single friends. We institute the combo cute name and number game simply because we know it makes them retch. :) Add that to the always standing with my arm around his waist and my hand slid into his back pocket while with these friends and well, it's just too, too much for some of them. [grins a small evil yet safisfied grin] -
Lysander said on Aug 05, 2006....
Actually, we don't really. We tend to be only affectionate in private. -
silverwhisper said on Aug 05, 2006....
super z: heh..."freaking the singles" is a favored pastime here. :> lys: fair enough. :> ed -
Zayda said on Aug 05, 2006....
Silver: and there are oh so many ways to freak them out. [smirks] -
IFMU said on Aug 05, 2006....
There have been a few things Ive always liked to do when I was in a relationship/the hopes of a relationship. 1, When doing nothing in particular, walk up behind the person, slide my hands around her waist, pulling her close and tight. Then begin kissing on her neck/ear etc. 2, To out of the blue, regardless of situation, step up to give them a kiss. I like to think of it as not a standard kiss. I gently grab around the neck with both hands, slide them up around the cheecks and ears and kiss them. (This varies a bit, most of the time a typical kiss, other times kisses all over their face, lips, chin, forhead, eyes, cheekbones etc. Not sure if thats what you meant, but eh, thats what I like to do. Cant say of anything to be done to me. :shrug: -
happykat said on Aug 06, 2006....
Ifmu........one word: hickeys :} ed, Hubby and i say all the cutsey, lovey names like "honeybear" and "sweetcheeks" etc... We also kiss a lot with loud smacking sounds.......especially around the monkeys. -
IFMU said on Aug 06, 2006....
lmfao, you are the only one who had ever left hickeys like that. Noone has ever left the same.... mark. -
silverwhisper said on Aug 06, 2006....
HK: cool. :D the mrs and i don't do the appallingly cutesy nicknames: we do however tend to gaze into one anothers' eyes and sigh deeply. :D ed -
happykat said on Aug 06, 2006....
Ifmu, how very cryptic that comment seems to me! hmmm -
LadyGamer said on Aug 06, 2006....
As a witness of the kind of hickey y'all used to leave on each many many many moons ago...I have to say I find nothing cryptic in that comment at all. -
IFMU said on Aug 06, 2006....
LMFAO Nonononono dont get things mixed up LG. She was the one leaving marks that could be seen from Mars! As for the rest, the 'cryptic' part..... Reading it now I can see what you mean, but not meant that way. Anyways, its been obvious since day one that I fugged that one up good. -
happykat said on Aug 06, 2006....
That's sweet, Ifmu, but you followed your heart. I can't fault you for that. Sorry, for the comment hijack, ed!! -
silverwhisper said on Aug 07, 2006....
please, like i'm all about the on-topicness? sheesh! [trout-smacks HK and IFMU] :> ed -
pinkjellybeans said on Aug 07, 2006....
*sigh* My husband and I never had any cutesy games. I suppose that says a lot... the fact that we are currently 'taking time apart' could quite possibly have been determined by the lack of cute things in our relationship!! :) I will be back to read more, Silver. PinkJellyBeans
