QOTD Thread #332- Do you think that people should keep cats outdoors?

How often do I think? Alot, I guess.

Totally depends on the couple. I know couples who are at it every night. And sometimes on lunch break. On the other hand, I know couples who have gone months without sexual activity. And I don't mean they were finding it elsewhere or that they were unhappy but just not having it. Too tired, long work hours, kids interrupting any time there would have been, etc...

Probably as often as someone posts a thread with a title that doesn't tell you what the thread's about. Stop that #$%^. Immediately.
So, about once every 10-14 days?
DoctorLore is probably referring to the current QOTD thread title, which doesn't contain the full question.
My best guess is around once or twice a week, minus one week a month during
that
time, and increasing to twice a day if they're trying to procreate (from what I've heard).

Depends on the couple. The personal appetite of each partner, as well as the stressfulness of their jobs/lives, may have a big impact.
If I were to do a very rough and inaccurate generalization, I would imagine the sexual activity peaks shortly after a couple moves into the same appartment, which does not necessarily have to happen after marriage, and somewhat declines after that. There may be a larger decline in sexual activity after children are born, because they can be quite exhausting.

#115- What kinds of situations are really awkward for you? There are some situations that are pretty much awkward no matter who you are, and that's not really what I'm looking for. Are there certain things that just make you feel particularly self-conscious or uncomfortable, that most other people don't find nearly as awkward (even if they find them a little awkward)?

#115: Meeting some random person on the street, and they apparently know me, and know my name but I don't know who the hell are they.
Even worse is meeting someone I haven't seen in a long time, and they still remember my name but I don't remember theirs.
I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS! >_>

I agree with rank. I find this a little awkward as well. More so when someone sees me that knows my mom, but I have no idea who they are. This happened quite often while I was working at McDonald's and my mom worked about 3 miles down the road at a gas station. The reverse has happened as well, people the graduated with me will talk to my mom, and she'll have no idea who they are.

Talking to people I kind of know, but don't know well. I always end up saying something that's not suitable, because I never get what these people want from me. I'm not the world's most socially competent person IRL, so I'll make jokes that someone find offensive for one reason or another (I made a joke about cancer once, and that's dangerous territory as it is, but this girl I was talking to apparently lost her mother to brain cancer a few years back. Awkward does not describe it). Either that or I joke around with someone who doesn't really understand that I'm being sarcastic or that I'm joking.
There are other things, but that's the worst ones.

Sooooooo much.
I'm TERRIBLE with names, and this happens to me
all the time
.
I would say it drives me crazy, but that would indicate throwing my car in reverse.

I only get awkward when romance is involved. Otherwise, it's pretty hard to ruffle me. I have no issues talking to all sorts of people, dealing with social faux pas, knowing how to read people and how to speak (in terms of how much joking I can get away with, whether they're more formal or relaxed, what kinds of topics they'll relate to in metaphors, etc.) with them based on what kind of people they are. I have a diverse college experience, and about 12 years of customer service and sales experience to thank for that, I think.
However, when it came to dealing with liking someone romantically, I turned into Gigi from "He's Just Not That Into You." It's pretty pathetic- over-analyzing everything, and being like "Oh no- should I make eye contact, should I avoid it? Is it too soon to text back, or maybe I shouldn't at all because he took 6 hours to respond to my initial text? Am I supposed to be texting anyway, or should I call?" It's pretty pathetic.
Luckily, I am all settled down now and never have to do any of that again =D
Funny story about a socially awkward situation:
I was having an engagement party (years ago- ex-fiancee), and one of my mother's friends came to the door (she invited like everyone she'd ever met, I think), and handed me the gift with her coat and said "This is for the bride."
Without missing a beat, I was like "I'll make sure she gets it." lol
I wonder what she thought when she realized who I was later in the day?

We are SO ALIKE on this regard. I'm a complete train wreck when it comes to romance, and dating. Hell, first time I actually built up the courage to talk to Reina I forgot my own damned name >_>
And on our first date, I kept stuttering like porky pig. Not to mention that on my way there, I kept repeating to myself on my head "Don't say something stupid, don't say something stupid, don't say something stupid, don't say something stupid"
And when I arrive, what is the first thing I say?
She: Hi, how are you?
Me: I think my butt got numb on that bus ride.
/facepalm. She just laughed it off, but I swear I wanted to dig a hole and stick my head in there and not get it out ever again.
Luckily, I am all settled down now and never have to do any of that again =D
Amen.

Talking on the phone
Seeing people I've not seen in a while
Talking to people I don't really know know, I just sort of tend to laugh
When people are in my house
When couples are being all gag-inducingly lovey-dovey and you want to punch them
You know what, this list could go on 5ever.

I used to be a hunny-luv hater like you. Then I took a wife to the
knee
heart.
And now I'm not.
