Nervous Habits -> sniffing/smelling/rot

I think Kevin smells like cornfields, motorcycle exhaust, and the jacket flap of A Girl Named Zippy.

I thought of you all when I sniffed my fingers last night.
I made green chili and my fingers were all garlickey because I did it at my mom's house and she has no garlic press.

^^ That's a question that should be talked about on a first date because it's what's real and important. Instead, you spend three weeks talking about walking around the lakes and favorite movies and haha, yes, Woody Allen is funny, but you know... If two people can meet and admit to, and talk about, touching themselves and then smelling their fingers, that's honesty.

I think the fact that you've stated this (touching yourself and smelling your fingers) is already a good sign that you're an honest person. Kudos

Lobstergirl wrote: "If someone talked to me about finger sniffing on a first date I would be out the door."I know it's abrupt, but it's real. Who really cares about a shared interest in sunsets and movies, whatever sport is in season, trendy restaurants and the fact that the orchestra plays too much Beethoven and not enough Debussy? Eventually someone's going to wake up one morning and find someone sniffing their fingers or checking out whatever it is that just got picked out of their nose, or squeezing a pimple and that's where either compatability or the "What the hell am I doing here" thought starts. Maybe the first question on every first date should be, "What do you think of farts?" and then when that's been resolved they can talk about the fact that they both like holding hands, rainy Sundays and Walt Disney movies?
I have that exact hat. As a matter of fact, I'm wearing it right now and typing with my pinkies in the air (waving like they just don't care).

I enjoyed this. It is definitely true.
If you have lived past the age of 24, you generally know that everyone has his or her gross habits. I see no reason to celebrate this fact, rather than suppress it, on dates 1-20.
1-20? Things were different when I was younger, but if all we're talking about on the first two dates is the weather, our favorite colors, our favorite foods and comparing sunsets vs. sunrises, and our conversations are hackneyed explorations of things like our favorite word, our best quality and the last time we had our heart broken, then there isn't a third date. I'm too old now to put stuff off until date 20!

My nervous habit is when I'm concentrating really hard, I suck in my lips. I seem to do this especially when driving.
My husband has a nervous habit that drives me nuts. He constantly clears his throat. He says it's post nasal drip, but I mean come on... all the time every few seconds.
The third date is the sex date so if you get that far then all reason is tossed out the window and the next thing you know you wake up eight months later at 2:00 a.m. and look over at the woman snoring next to you and wonder how you ever got involved with a woman who's idea of good reading is Betty and Veronica comic books and who plans her evenings around watching repeats of Temptation Island. Again.
I heard a psychiatrist say recently that for the first 6-18 months of a romantic relationship, both partners exist in a brain damaged state. Literally, since your brain is so inundated with feel-good chemicals, it can't function properly.










I'd be the worst secret agent in the world.
Kevin, I worked with a guy who constantly sniffed his tie... I always wondered what was on it.
