THE FELLA: The Hag asked if you would be embarrassed if she bought you a little something for Christmas. I said yes…and told her to go ahead.
DIRK MANCUSO: What can I get her? All I really know about her is that she likes GOSSIP GIRL and kittens…
THE FELLA: You don’t need to get her anything. I got her a hoodie and a $75 gift card and put both our names on it. I did the same with Raging Lesbian and Platonic Gay Male Friend’s gifts, too.
“both our names”? Think he just said that he loves you, thinks of the two of you as an entry.
Dirk says: …”love” is a pretty strong word. I was leaning more towards “didn’t want his friends to think you’re a fucking cheapskate who doesn’t go in on gifts for them.”

OK, give that man that ipod!
Dirk says: …oh catrina — you’re so fickle! LOL

If you still had any remaining question about whether or not he considers you two a couple, this should remove all doubt.
Good for Dirk! He’s in a bona-fide couple!
Dirk says: …I don’t know about “bona-fide couple” but I think this makes my chances of having a date for New Years look pretty good.

You say thanks (pet name here) and give him a hug and kiss.
Dirk says: …oh, if you only knew the pet name he’s come up with for me — LOL

Along with your name, please, please, please put his name on Lola’s gift!
Dirk says: …you’re just itching to see a middle aged nancy boy get his ass kicked by a senior citizen, aren’t ya, Sarah?

OH Yes, Sarah is right. No pun intended but you have to tit for tat with Lola et al now.
Soon you’ll be like an old, married couple. He’ll come up out of the blue in a store and say “you owe me $6.00″ and you’ll just hand it over, never asking why or what for. Ahhh Love…
Dirk says: …”you owe me $6.00″? And which store will we be in when he comes up with that request?

So, Dirk, what plans to you and your partner have for the holiday?
Honey, listen to what Dennis and Mark say. This means coupledom. I also heartily endorse the idea of putting both your names on Lola’s gift! And take a picture of Lola’s face when she reads it.
Dirk says: …you and Sarah just aren’t going to be happy until I’m a (literally) broken man doing the old “hunt and peck” with my one good finger to bring you the gory details of Lola’s beatdown on my faggot ass.

He put your name on his gifts for others??!! That’s huge Dirk. He’s in love.
Dirk says: …I don’t know about love, but I thought it must mean something if he did that. Oh course, it might just be because those are the friends of his that I’ve met, too. I’m not going to read too much into it other than I feel weird since I don’t know them all that well.

Of course it means something. It means that either he really likes you OR he thinks you are cheap and wouldn’t want to buy his friends anything. But really, why would you want to buy his friends anything. Do they babysit (oh wait, no kids), do they watch the house when you’re away? hmmm
Kidding, I think it’s wonderful that he put your name on the presents too, unless they are crappy gifts but a hoodie and $75 gift card sounds a lil under the crappy pointer.
So… when should I expect my gift card to arrive and as far as the hoodie goes… I prefer black. It’s slimming ya know.
Dirk says: …and what are you getting Justin? Hmmmmmmm?

Well..we were at the Kriskindlmarkt in Bethlehem, PA when he pulled that in front of a friend of his, who noted that I didn’t even blink, I just said OK and handed him the $6.00. I figured out later it was for Raspberry Salsa..Yummmmmmmm
Dirk says: …LOL — but I have to tell you now if he buys raspberry flavored anything, that shit is coming out of his own pocket. Dirkie doesn’t like fruit flavors…except in his fruit.

I’m with the others, I think this is a pretty strong indication that he thinks of you as a couple. And since you hate the word “love” so much, you’re going to have to come up with another one to substitute for it, since you’re going to need one eventually.
Maybe you could just use a “safe” word, like “banana,” as in, “I banana you more than you’ll ever know.”
I’m sure it’s not the first time you’ve used one of those…
Dirk says: …why, Aaron — whatever are you trying to insinuate? (And I don’t hate the word “love” — I just have very little experience hearing it.)

Well Dirk, If the hoodie and $75 gift card arrive from you in time, I’ll be getting him a hoodie and a $50 gift card. You know I have to make some sort of profit. Handling charges and all.
Dirk says: …you little romantic capitalist, you.
