Is this not a sensitive, caring man who truly wants to communicate his feelings to a sympathetic listener? What happened to all the cries of I-Want-A-Man-Who-Will-Talk-To-Me?

>>Hmmmmm...NATTY is that man??? Now you've got me! All I can say is, while I want a man willing to LISTEN from time to time (with his heart), and share his innermost thoughts with me (assuming he has any), he does need to shut up now and again, doncha know! If you can convince me that Natty can put a sock in it once in awhile, when things that don't require talking need doin', then maybe I'll concede that I need to take him more seriously.
