Thoughts on 'Anticipation'

12:16 am Tuesday, 26th August, 2014

We all know that anticipation heightens enjoyment, but can you nail why?

Anticipation = fantasizing (I suppose). We all fantasize to a certain degree, and that gets the juices flowing. If the object of your fantasy finally "delivers", then the dam bursts. Seems pretty obvious to me.

Absence makes the fart go honda

Yeah, but it's that moment when expectation meets anticipation ...

Not sure that anticipation is fantasising, but that may be down to the individual. I enjoy the unknown of anticipation - the ifs and hows - more with Luv2 and the torment, that's the fun bit!! As for 'pretty obvious'. ones own take on something is always 'obvious', but others opinions are often more interesting!!

Problem is, I'm not very good with it; I'm impatient and don't enjoy waiting.

You are so right Sassy! Experience adds to the anticipation, for good or ill. Thinking something Bad well happen releases adrenaline (fearflight); something good, endorphins. Eeach time something unexpected, but good, happens increases the anticipation and when fulfilled, the pleasure. Touch of Pavlov's dog.

I agree: bloody well get on with it, I say :-) Put yer money where yer mouth is (metaphorically of course :-)

Hadn't considered teasing by text or email, can see why that might be a bit of a waste, not really the kind of anticipation I was thinking about. But hey, that's what makes the question worth asking!

.....and even if they turn out to be *mingers* (which I gather is a UK expression :-)

Anybody who teases MsGN will incur the wrath of the Yakuza and the Chinese Tongs :-) All I have to do is tip the nod to my extensive contacts.
