    I can’t recall if I’ve ever spoken to you before iMago, but since you are obviously the relationship guru here on MFP...

    Are ultimatums wise? Should I propose them to get what I want? Is this a reasonable strategy?

    Only if he’s the one making them.

    IMHO. But I’m no @iMago

    they're okay as long as you're 100% prepared to NOT get the response you want.

    like lets say you're demanding he do something you want or "else", you best be prepared for the "else" to happen before you make the ultimatum. if you're not ready for that then don't do it.

    This sounds very reasonable. I was hoping it would be less reasonable.

    i'd say he did everything right if you're still confused as to what he wants exactly.

    so i'd say nothing. just wait until the day of and wear some kind of skimpy bottoms and ask him to help you into the kayak and see who breaks first.

    if the day comes and you can't decide on what type of outfit/bikini to wear to impress him, then just basically take whatever the skimpiest one you have and then find something smaller and hopefully that'll make him putty in your hands even if he's stoically trying to resist still.

    I'm in the process of scheduling a kayaking date with a guy I've been out with a few times. He said he may have to return the 2nd kayak he has to its owners before we get together. I suggested we sit laps and the response was something along the lines of "It would be tight, but I'm not opposed to it." NOT OPPOSED instead of CLIMB ON?!

    Is this guy bad at flirting or has any interest he had disappeared? Should I wait until he gets settled in and head at him like that hippo vid that was shot with the iPhone?

    i'd say he did everything right if you're still confused as to what he wants exactly.

    so i'd say nothing. just wait until the day of and wear some kind of skimpy bottoms and ask him to help you into the kayak and see who breaks first.

    Disappointed you advised on the wearing of any bottoms whatsoever.

    Sheesh, you get what you pay for, I guess.

    But this is ACTUAL good advice. Again... NOT what I signed up for when clicking this thread. Harumphf.

    Best strategy?

    "Hard to get"
    Or
    "Easy to get"

    ...and which is more "respectable"?

    Oh dang . . . *kitten* 's getting real. Well if we are in a trusty tree . . . I don't actually have one thought up, but if I did it would be around him going back to therapy/working on his anxiety and mental health or else . . . I, I dunno what I would do.

    AH!! I just brought the thread down...sorry folks. This has been a fun distraction during work . . . I mean during my work breaks. Don't mean to be a downer.
