Dating

Can someone tell me how long the "I just want to be friends" "Dating Game" goes on with these guys? I have watched the same two snakes play friends for about a month now. He is rubbing her back and making sure everything went well with her day and she just keeps checking out the wall paper. She seems interested until the contact point and then she's "Busy doing something else."
Again I say, "12 year old boy trying to lay the mack down with a 17 year old ADD girl." It's like watching American Pie with snakes. "And this one time, at snake camp..."

Maybe she's just ticked because he was cheating on her. The big girl is fat and about to shed.

Yeah, some times you just have to know when it's time to give up and call in the reserves!

"Can't you just feed it vegetables"? No, no I can't you stupid hippie.

This definitely gave me a chuckle and put a bright start on the day. I (and probably 99% of us guys) can certainly relate.
Very creative!

What would that poor guy prefer? A cruel cut down with "Sorry I just don't find your spurs to be very impressive" or the long drawn out process to make him lose hope with "I'm just not ready right now try again next week".

I have a friend who does this allll the time... hehe.

So funny!

My pastel male has two requirements for a mate:
1. female
2. ball python

When I put him in with a girl, he is locked up that night. He always prefers to start when the lights are out haha!
