But then after that she'd never rest until she got you in bed! That move is gold, solid gold ::gaku::

I'm not sure you understand the way most women think. ::meev::

Eh, speak for yourself. I think I'd feel a little insecure if the guy didn't seem like he wanted to share the bed with me.

Okay well, most women I know then.

If a guy offered to sleep on the floor so I could have the bed, I wouldn't think he didn't want to share the bed with me, I would think he was trying to be polite.
And if I liked him enough I would say I didn't care and that there was room for both of us on the bed or something. :P

So since January I've been sleeping on a sleeping bag on the floor. It took me a couple weeks to adjust, because my body just wasn't limber enough to find it comfortable, but now it feels as comfortable as my bed ever did (plus my neck and back don't sound like cement mixers anymore). The really interesting thing about it, though, is that I don't sleep as deeply as I used to--I find myself drifting in and out of sleep more frequently and dreaming more. It's like a more "active" sleep I guess. When I get up in the morning though, I feel a lot more alert and energized than I do when I sleep in a bed. Whether I get 5 hours or 8 hours of sleep, I never feel sluggish in the mornings anymore.

A lot of people think I'm crazy, and the weird thing is that my stepmom and sisters are "offended" by it somehow? They think I'm being ungrateful or something because I have a full-size mattress and bed but choose not to use it. Anyway, I figure going bedless will make moving a lot easier and cheaper after I graduate XD. My old high school friend was like, "have fun staying single."

I started sleeping on the floor around January too, except I don't have a sleeping bag, I just sleep directly on my wooden tiled floor with a quilt over me. My reason for doing it was because my bedroom is so small that my bed (it was a double bed) actually filled 3 quarters of my entire room and I had to climb over it to get to the small space where my computer was. I decided to throw it out and sleep on the floor until I could afford some kind of more space efficient mat to sleep on, but I got so used to sleeping on the floor that I'll probably never buy another bed. It really has become just as, if not more comfortable than my bed used to be.

Y'know, I have a big issue with sleeping on the floor. If I have to spend the night at a friends or something I have to be piss drunk to be able to sleep.

Maybe I should acclimate myself to it, that way I don't have to worry about sleeping other places. Although there's not enough floor space to sleep on in my room and I wouldn't want to get rid of my bed until I prove to myself I can be comfortable on the floor.

Yeah, I threw my bed out so I had no excuse but to get used to it. It does take some persistence until it no longer feels like "oh god, why am I doing this to myself?" Since it's uncomfortable to begin with, you really have to concentrate on falling asleep which seems to lead to a sounder sleep.

Exactly, the move IS solid gold, even for another reason than what Flowers said. If you show self-restraint at the beginning, and not get all up in her grill (I couldn't think of any other phrase than that), then she'll like you even more for it. I'm more impressed with a man showing self-restraint (except for a kiss or something) at the beginning stages than kidnapping you in the middle of the night to ravish you, like that freak Genji.

::meev::

Of course he shouldn't do it forever, this is the reason why I don't like courtly love since it goes on forever, but I think showing a bit of self-restraint is a good thing.

Next thing you should do is throw your jacket on the floor to step on so her shoes won't get dirty.

I know I tend to be more attracted to a guy if he seems somewhat aloof at first, like he doesn't really care that much whether or not I like him. And I've learned that guys are attracted to that, too. No one wants to be with someone who seems to like you more than you like them.

Although this has little to do with the bed thing anymore. ::meev::

Haha, see this is a bit too much for me. I would feel ridiculous and uncomfortable if a guy did this. But then, my shoes aren't really worth it. Maybe if I wore fancy shoes or heels or something.

It takes, diff'rent strokes to rule the world!

Oh, okay. That makes sense. I was picturing a slightly different scenario. I was thinking of the times back when I was single when a guy totally could've at least made out with me if not outright scored but they didn't make a move. Back then, it made me feel insecure about my attractiveness, but now I realize it was because they were nerds who were too scared to kiss a girl.

I know you're struggling to remember your old account info, so I'll try to help you out. If I recall correctly, your signature emoticon for snark is ":roll:", not meev

::kiss::

@flowers: I like the way you think! :lol:

@GitE: What a coincidence! There must have been something in the air this January XD. I might have been able to get away without the sleeping bag if I were a back-sleeper, but I tend to roll over on my side or stomach so I do need some cushion to keep my hip bones from screaming at me. If I had a nicely carpeted floor or something, that would be one thing. But my floor is basically poured concrete with a really short-fiber carpet that offers no cushion at all.

EDIT: I like how evenly-distributed the poll results are. It's pretty across-the-board except that absolutely no one gets more than 9 hours of sleep on a regular basis XD

@Kashka: I apologize for assuming you were Amatsu. He had a habit of making snarky comments to me along those lines, so that's how I interpreted it.

I hope you haven't been scared off of this community or anything. We don't normally have any hard feelings towards anyone around here (even if we disagree with each other and argue we keep it civil and remain friends). Amatsu is a rare exception because of how he left us on bad terms.
