    Yes, I'll mention it in as jokey and innocuous way as possible.

    I do like the fact that he's no pretentions, that he's comfortable in his own skin, and doesn't feel the need to pretend to be someone he isn't in order to impress me. Shrek was all image, no susbstance and he is almost the polar opposite in a lot of ways.

    But yeah, a bit of effort wouldn't go astray. Of course, that would then make him the perfect man, so I woud have to dump him immediately, otherwise I would have nothing to complain about.. :rotfl:

    Okay this is going to sound weird but it could be because he's a runner...

    Lots of running makes you very very relaxed - its not that hes not 'making an effort' intentionally, its more likely that its not crossed his mind - I bet he's a what you see is what you get kind of guy...

    OH is very similar - trust me its great, no stress, no arguments, very calming and not afraid to show his emotions - but you wont get 'wined and dined' in the traditional sense because hes far too easy going

    Hope that makes any sense - feel free to ignore if not :p:D

    You could be right - who knows - but I wouldn't ignore you for having a different opinion anyway. :)

    In some ways he's very intense, but in others, so laid back it hurts. I think maybe it just confuses me!
