    you are *probably* right about the motivation...but where is she to get her's if he is making silly comments like that?
    It is hard when your advances get rejected all the time to bother making the effort

    It is. But if you ask him, you want an answer - that puts him under pressure to produce an answer. So he comes out with the first thing that enters his head. "Like Lucy Pinder - therefore if Bunny looked like Lucy Pinder I'd like her..." Logical but wrong.

    If you want something to happen - don't be subtle.

    If you want to change an attitude - you have to be subtle.

    If you want an answer - don't be subtle.

    If you want the *real* answer - be subtle.

    Sorry to have to say this Bunny but that sounds to me like a form of emotional abuse.
    That's what I was thinking. Sounds like the kind of mind games I would play as a teenager. Sorry Bunny Im not slagging him cause i dont know him
