and for a woman or man to dish out on an ex is just plain nasty behaviour to me.
Even if it's all complimentary?

For some reason, my friends are having a Super Bowl party. None of us know anything about American football but we're going to have lots of food and get a poker game going and probably fall asleep before it finishes.
Hoping I can stay awake until half time if Beyoncè is on - I love her.

I quite often use suitable metaphors as titles which refer literally to something in the story and, on another level, to some part of the message of the story.
For example, Playing By The Rules is a story which revolves around an actual game invented and played by the two main characters. However, on a deeper level, it's about a different game which neither of them was really aware they were playing and how the "rules" were affecting their relationship. Opening Night is similar, but the metaphor is more subtle than even I appreciated at the time.
Help The Aged is also a title of mine with a dual-meaning. Fucking love that story.
This has been a plug by Clum.

I appreciate all the response so far and am still thinking about them but I just wanted to add something...
Guys, give me a little fucking credit! I'm not going to start talking about the weather while a guy is towelling off his danglies; I do possess SOME common sense. I'm talking about when a guy just finishes his work-out or is just putting his shoes on to leave, not when they're fresh out the shower.
I know myself that I wouldn't much appreciate a friendly chat when my ass is on show.

THIS QUESTION IS NOT OF A SEXUAL NATURE!
One of the things I'm really trying to challenge myself in is being more sociable and speaking to more people. As a religious man, I know that happiness spreads through one to one dialogue and building bonds of friendship. I'm not great at putting myself out there and casually striking up conversations with strangers, but I'm trying.
One place which seems to offer a lot of opportunities for meeting new people is the gym. I go to my local gym three or four times a week (I'm not a fitness freak, I'm fat) and there are load of people there who it would be so easy to talk to if only I could build up a little more courage.
My question to you fellas is this: Would you find it strange if someone you did not know started to speak to you (friendly) in the changing/locker room?
There seems to be a layer of awkwardness added to this situation by the half- and fully-naked men around (I probably wouldn't start a conversation while the guy had his wang out) and I just don't know what the social etiquette is here. Is it like in a public bathroom where conversation is verboten? Or is it as fine a place as any to start a new friendship?
Follow-up question: What is a good conversation starter for someone you met in the gym?
Can I go to the old faithful that is the weather? Do I talk about gym things? I don't really know what guys who go to the gym like to talk about, really.
Thanks in advance for your answers. I'd especially be interested to hear what British guys have to say because I feel this is a bit of a cultural thing and North American attitudes may not be the norm on this side of the Atlantic.
Once again - this question is NOT about finding a date or someone to sleep with. It's purely about having dialogue with our fellow man and possibly forming friendships.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Like many of the posters here, I consider telling someone you love them to be quite a big deal and not something to be done on a whim.
APPARENTLY, I once told someone I love them, or that I had loved them, when I never had. I don't remember but they spoke to me about it and I was like, "Bitch, I never loved you!" Awkward.

You just fancy Clum;) i know!!
Ha, Clum IS pretty hot!!
My ears must have been burning...
I'm actually losing my red-hairedness; it's going more brown. Luckily, I keep a beard to show my true colours.
(Thanks for saying I'm hot, however jokingly).

It took a bit of digging but I knew this topic had come (or cum) up before:
http://www.lushstories.com/forum/yaf_postst18001_Come-or-Cum.aspx
There are a few more responses in there but very similar sort of discussion as here.

Well I (with head bowed in shame) haven't thanked any of them. I did apologize after my third story was returned due to gramatical errors. My wife sat down and helped me with it and .... Well I knew I should have gone over it more. There was no way that it should have been turned in. I still feel bad about that. To those who have to deal with new inexperienced writers like myself, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Your apology was a lot more than we typically get so thank YOU; I really appreciated it. Sometimes it feels like writers are just ignoring our rejection notices so it was very reassuring to see you took it to heart.

I love getting "thank you" messages but never expect them. I guess it's kind of like a bus driver - you don't NEED to thank them as you get off because, really, they're just doing their job; however, I'll bet they love being appreciated.
I thank whoever approves my stories (only one rejection so far). I know what it can mean on a really rough day of moderating.
