Two Responses (and their consequences)

There are a lot of ways people often choose to respond during banter or a disagreement that they often think will stop the conversation short. And while I don't ALWAYS have to get the last word in, there are two responses that I've come to keep close to the top of my arsenal.

The first is fairly simple. If someone sticks their tongue out at you - then a quick "don't stick that out unless you intend to use it" will often not only stop the argument, but has been known several times in the past to lead to an immediate french kiss - or more.

Example - laying in bed in the afterglow, I happened to make a statement to my partner that she certainly finished quickly, and I took that as a compliment to my skills rather than a comment on her desire to get to class on time. She stuck her tongue out- and after being told to use it she decided that the best way to use it would be to work her way down between my legs... and neither of us happened to make it to class that morning. Whoops :-D

The second requires a more delicate approach. When someone chooses to respond with the time honored "F you", then one must A-judge the situation for just HOW angry they are, and B-if appropriate (or sometimes when not) ask - "Is that an offer or a promise, darlin'"? Substitute your favorite term for "darlin'" if you so desire, but often, this particular question not only takes them off guard, but diffuses a situation quickly.

Example - a particular drag queen that tends to be rather antagonistic towards me decided one night to pull out the "F you". When the question was presented, she stopped short. And while I may not have gotten any that night, the male friend I was with later informed me that it was an offer - just once removed. Perhaps not the MOST successful on my part, but once-removed success still counts.

So, next time you're presented with a "conversation ending" moment, but a signature DisIntercourses spin on the moment and see what happens.
