Let's just say in a hypothetical situation that your girlfriend or spouse and you have a very pleasant evening together, you're cuddeling on the couch and you both are looking at each other in a very loving way...that's when your sweetheart decides to ask what you are thinking about.

Surprisingly at that exact moment your mind has a fleeting thought of something completely unrelated. The thought includes wondering if it was your turn or your buddy Steve's turn to buy coffee the next morning. So are you totally honest and answer what was really on your mind, or do you say something like "Just thinking about how much I love you"?

I personally would prefer to be told the later, but maybe some women would appreciate the honesty of the prior. Just curious how you have dealt with these situations in the past.

Personally, I would just like the truth or if you don't want to share.. say "Oh, nothing".. lol something along those terms. However, if you want to 'blatantly' cheese up to me.. you might get a kiss or two for your efforts, lol.

Well, to begin with, my spouse would probably be able to guess what's on my mind, because she would be thinking the same thing.......but if I had a fleeting thought, unrelated, to the loving vibe that we're feeling, and she asked me about what I'm thinking, I would brush off the fleeting thought and say, "honey, I'm just enjoying spending quiet time with you, you look so great tonight...."

If I told her my fleeting thought, be it who's making coffeee or a ball game or something very TRIVIAL/insignificant, I would be afraid it would ruin the mood, ruin the vibe or connection we're feeling at that moment.

I wouldn't say "always" having a connection, but certain very often. Yeah, it's all good.

Not sure why a guy would be in that situation and not thinking about sex but anyways.

If it were me I would just lie. Being honest doesn't get you too far in relationships. Been there done that.

Ah-HA! Liars! All of you are LIARS!



Me too. Sometimes. But more often it's, "Huh? I don't remember." And that would be the truth. Getting old has its benefits.

Did you hear about the 83 year old woman who talked herself out of a speeding ticket by telling the young officer that she had to get there before she forgot where she was going?

Or this one:

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT GROWING OLDER:













WELL CRAP!!!!!



I FORGOT WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY.

Ah. So that is my problem. No wonder. I'm like Jim Carrey in Liar, Liar, I can't help but to be honest no matter what.

When a woman asks me what I am thinking, in this case the answer would have something to do with sex.
