The Official Carl Baseball Metaphor Of Hooking Up


FIRST BASE: A handshake lasting 3 seconds or less.


SECOND BASE: A handshake lasting more than three seconds, with lingering eye contact.

Extra points: THUMB ACTION, i.e. thumbs caressing



THIRD BASE: A standing hug, like on the street, saying hello or goodbye.



HOMERUN, i.e. ALL THE WAY, i.e. THE WHOLE NINE YARDS, i.e. GRAND SLAM: A SEATED hug. Like on a couch. Or bed.



That's about accurate, right?

What happens on a "double play"? Or...if you need to steal a base and slide in?

I would switch third base and home run. A standing hug is more intimate, as it allows for full frontal contact. Crotch to crotch, if you know what I'm saying. If you don't feel anything poking you, he's just not that into you.

Early,

Great comparison, really. It's truly not everyday that you find a man with such an Austen-esque idea of romance. Keeper, all the way!

Best,
Nat
