Worship me you pigs!

So! The posse has been circulating a bit. Some have men close to home. Some are dating through technology. Some are serial dating. Some are locked in. All are finding out what they like and what they don’t like. What they will tolerate, what they won’t. What blows their skirt up and what makes them say, “eh?” with a shrug.

The founders of the Catch and Release program have often provided public service announcements, and are now considering some continuing education courses for clueless menz.

Guys, what’s wrong with a little woo? You know, paying attention to a girl… doing little things that make her feel special. Just coz girls are a bit more independent these days – able to pick up the check once in a while, don’t mind asking you to accompany her to a function – doesn’t mean that some old fashioned manners won’t still sweep her off her feet. And rest assured, your rewards will be great. You will be shocked at how great they will be.

****One of the posse members got a rifle for Valentine’s Day from her beau. Any other posse member would have shot him with it for considering that an appropriate gift for any occasion. But this guy was tuned in and we’re 99.9% sure he got his own wooing that night.
