Because it doesn't work that way, unless you have a body like Andy Peters, and are quite obviously LOADED. ;)

Oh, and who pays for the meal*

It does though, if she quite likes you back then there's no reason why she shouldn't accept.

I disagree... You pay because you're being the gentleman, surely that's what most women will think? Are you considered a chauvinist if you hold the door open for a woman? Or if you offer to buy a drink? I don't know which women you've met but you need to find some more methinks...

When a woman's "in a mood", there ain't nothin' you can do which won't get a sulk :-/

You shouldn't bottle things up dearest |S| !

Tell her how you feel! - It'll help you and stop anymore advice from Nww02!

Maybe you should cut it up with a cheese slicer and bottle it?

Stick on the bottle a romantic pink label and give it to |S| as a gift.

He's having a dreadful time at the moment...

I was being sarcastic before, you _DID_ actually make me laugh there..

I'd love to give a girl my spleen as a gift of love.. but I suspect my immediate death of toxic shock might get in the way of a proper relationship ;)

We live in an era of amazing technology and I'm pretty confident it'll soon be possible to maintain a steady and quite sexual relationship with one's spleen.

Obviously you gotta find a girl that will want to commit to such a thing but they're are companies on hand to supply such women.

Nothings impossible.

I don't think it would be a privilege somehow but I do wish you all the best. Although don't get too wrapped up in it matey, in retrospection it's not really worth all the hassle.
