Arabian Goggles: The act of placing your balls over the eyes of an unsuspecting victim while they are sleeping. This gives the appearance that the person is wearing “Arabian Goggles.”
Also similar to “Teabagging” where you place your balls in the mouth of an unsuspecting victim while they are sleeping. Then you take a picture and send it to the victim’s mom or girlfriend.
lia m - did he say that he needs his space as in “he wants to separate for a while”, “needs some time to explore how he feels about you” or “wants to see other people” kind of thing or does he just want his “own space” every now and then for a day or two where he does not wish to interact with you while tends to other things in his life?
to me this is not clear in your original post, but is important for anyone to give his or her take on your situation. i can only speak for myself, but i am the kind of person who requires a fair amount of time by myself. my wife is just the opposite and has difficulty understanding this at times, but can read the signs when she needs to back off and give me my space. never at any time does this mean that i am wavering in my feelings for her. in the beginning it took a big leap of faith and display of trust on her part to let me go during these times even though it was troubling for her.
on the other side, she often goes through times when she feels quite unhappy with herself and that she is inadequate so to say. i hated seeing her down in the dumps, so i would always try to cheer her up by telling her things are not so bad in order stop the downward spiral. bad idea. all it did was make things worse for her by invalidating her feelings and leaving her feeling misunderstood. all she really needed was for me to listen without advising, understand what she was feeling and empathize with her. she needed my support. she didn’t need me to try and “fix” her. she wasn’t broken. :o)
there was also a time when i felt the need to actually separate from her for a period of about two months. i was not very happy in my life and was in stuck in a pretty big rut. at the time i had misidentified her as a contributor to my unhappiness and as a part of what was wrong. time on my own helped me realize that i was unhappy with myself and where i was in life. once i got those issues taken care of it was apparent to me that she was actually the very thing that was preventing me from heading further into the toilet and not a part of the toilet itself. thank God she was still there for me when i figured all of this out…i am rambling…
essentially i think demo dick is right. you have to open up the lines of communication with him or you will just keep stumbling around in the dark. you don’t want to make things worse by guessing. if he doesn’t care enough about the relationship to discuss this with you then i think you have your answer. kevo
You got it straight from the Dogg’s mouth Dawg. He is a very strange canine. Now you can see why I urged Lia to spurn his eloquent prose on the two of them getting together. As for the “teabagging”, I think in the Dogg’s case, it might be more like “fleabagging”, unless, of course, he utilizes Front Line or a flea collar. Each to his own but in Lia’s case it might be better for her to stick with the reticent one she knows rather than the Dogg she doesn’t…unless she likes old guys. 
Who are you calling old? The Dogg is a young 182 years old in dog years! And this Dogg isn’t too old to learn new tricks! Bow wow wow, yippie yo yippie yah!
Dogg, you are desperate.
Nah, I’m just horny as hell right now. And I am not seeing anyone at the moment. So I need a “fix” to help cure me! LOL!
Okay, thanks for the info (I think…). AR, nice posts. Always willing to learn from my elders. Nate…what can I say, man? You have more imagination for playing tricks on your friends than I do. Thank god I didn’t grow up in Florida! Lia, are you sure you want people like us advising you…? The next time your boyfriend says he wants some space, ask him, “Why, so you can go get teabagged or something?” Should decide the relationship one way or the other right there.
If you want this thing to work, you have to re-establish the appearance of caring less about the relationship than he does. Care less=control. Give him space, don’t rush to be there at his beck and call. Maintain your self respect. If he hasn’t the balls to break up with you, then this is no long term catch.
Lia. go on a trip for a few weeks. disappear completely. don t try to reach him.
A guy needs “space” isn’t lying. He really, really needs that “space” to be with his new peace of @$$…
um, yea. so i might have goofed, but now mr. wonderful is back and all seems like it never happened. i just hope i ain’t bein played…
He’s back!!! But did he bring a trout with him?
here is the deal, we men, are strange creatures, i am curious how old is he, he may be worried about settling down if he is still young, if he is older, he may just want your reassurance of love, sometimes it isn’t what we say, it is more what we are thinking, and sadly you don’t know what we are thinking, if you love him, tell him so, tell him often, and say if he must have space he can, but you won’t wait long, it simply isn’t fair of him to ask you to wait, hope i helped, believe me the oak is like dr ruth, only i am big and strong, and much more attractive, and of course i am a man, take care, don’t let it get you down!!! you are a woman, and you are beautiful, never get discouraged!!!
