Poor form

“Lust is easy. Love is hard. Like is most important.” ~Carl Reiner
Question: in the event that a girl meets a very lovely and gorgeous man just once and then happens to see this man again fairly soon thereafter. And most recently, the man just casually catches her eye and walks up to her and strikes a conversation with this girl. Would it be in poor form for the girl to reply to his line of questioning with: “So I’ve been thinking, can I have your babies? Please?”
Is that unreasonable? At least the girl is polite in her request and adds ‘please’ at the end. Which is a sign that whatever children they do have will be equipped with good manners.

It is most certainly not poor form. It’s actually evolution at its finest. Survival of the fittest. Picking the best genes and choosing to reproduce with the strongest of the pack. You are only doing what billions of years of science is compelling you to do.
You rock on, and do it unapologetically =)

If he has any brains at all, he will be flattered. But again, consider the source of this advice before you take it.

I like it! Straightforward. Concise. It gets right to the point. I say go for it and may the force be with you.

at the very least, you can say, “i like your hands. my grandfather said a man with kind, rough hands is a man to marry and copulate with, many a time. my life will never be boring.”
you think i’m joking? not-so-much! never trust a man with smooth hands. he’s a smooth criminal…. cue the music….

Absolutely. I also enjoy “Can I lick your jacket?”.

I bet if you said the same thing, but made it way lewder he would totally go for it.

I don’t think that’s inappropriate at all.
Heather, I can’t believe that I didn’t have your new blog address in Google Reader. For weeks I’ve been wondering why you didn’t have any new posts. I finally realized what was going on when I read your latest BlogHer post and clicked on your website address from there. I’ve been negligent with my blog-reading lately, that’s my only excuse. Hope all has been well and I look forward to meeting you in a few weeks.

I think you should be more direct.
“You. Me. Procreation. Now.”

I think the whole procreation thing would scare him off. Now if you suggested screwing like rabbits? That might work. Just sayin’.
