How About Some Corn?

Allergic to Bad Ambiance

I've been seeing this guy for a while now. We're not exclusive, but he's sweet, does genuinely care about me, is cute, has good values etc. etc. I know he's not the one, but I enjoy spending time with him. There's just one problem... He's really really corny. Every so often he'll say something that is so unbelievably corny I almost burst out laughing. This sometimes extends to inappropriate text messages, and phrases said in the heat of the moment.

The other night I went round to his spot, and when we went to bed, he put on a cd. But instead of music, it was ambient sounds - like birds and ocean waves... and pan pipes. No I'm not joking... And yes, he thought it was a good idea.

Is this worth it?? How much corniness can a girl take? What if I have to listen to pan pipes during sex again??

Please advise...Thx.

The only thing worse than The Corny Dude is Rotten Teeth, Woman Beater, Starving Artist and Cheater. Ok, ok, so maybe there are a few things worse than dating The Corny Dude, but that doesn't mean you shoul still date him.

I know I'm gonna get a lot of flack for this, but I couldn't date him. Not on any level. Yeah, he's sweet and all that good stuff, but when we're ready to go at it, I need to know he's not gonna ruin the moment with something completely whack (like, "Are your sheets clean?" or pan pipes...I don't even know what that is, but it's whack).

If a dude has bad fashion sense, you can work on that. If he's fat, a gym membership and proper eating habits will help. But there's no cure for corny. With a corny dude, there's no guarantee that he won't completely ruin an otherwise good time with one of his corny "isms". If I want that kind of edge-of-my-seat excitement, I'll date a dude with braces.

Yeah, yeah, I know what the guys are gonna say: "Y'all women always complain about not being able to find a good man, and when you find one, you don't want him." For those dudes, I beg you to refer to my Fat Dude philosophy: why should we have to choose? Why can't we find a nice dude who isn't whack and corny? Why do the two have to be mutually exclusive?

So back to the topic: personally I wouldn't continue it just because I have very little patience and I don't want to waste other people's time when I know it's not going anywhere. You said it yourself, he's not The One...so why waste precious time (and coochie) on him, when you could be looking for The One? I say be his friend but practice your corn shucking and move on because he's not gonna become any less corny, no matter how much you try to butter it up.

But if you do decide to stick it out (maybe the sex is great, who knows?), they sell some fantastic earplugs at Duane Reade that will certainly block the pan pipes. LMAO.
