...why does no one read my posts?

Today was the first day of this Engineering camp at UAH (University of Alabama, Huntsville), and I had a really good time. We played some teamwork games, built bridges and made bowling balls out of concrete. Yay!

Okay, how come when a guy is with his "guy friends" and his girlfriend calls, she always winds up making the guy mutter something like: "I love you snooky-wukums." All the guys start crackin' up and the afore mentioned guy cries.

However, the inverse is not true. My conversation goes like this:
"I love you."
"..."
"Do you love me?"
"Yes."
"So say it, okay?"
"No."
"Come on, say something like: 'I love you snooky-wukums.'"
"Okay, I'll talk to you later."
"Hey! Not even a little goodbye?"
"I'll talk to you later."

Harsh, no? Can't live with 'em, go hungry without 'em.
