Play me or Trade me speech

The speech that comes about 6 months into a dating relationship, where the woman (usually) asks if the relationship will be leading to marriage, and if it isn't, let her find a less commitment phobic suitor. Very similar to a star athlete who is riding the bench asking his manager to "Play me here or trade me to a team that will."
"How are things going with the new girl??"

"Not good, she gave me the Play me or Trade me speech last weekend..."

"After two months of dating?? That is harsh.."

"Play me or Trade me" speech 

Usually when a star athlete is benched for a period, they come out to the media and ask the Coach to play me or trade me, meaning get me on the field or let me go somewhere else and play. When you have been dating a woman for about six months, (or six weeks, in some cases), she may ask you where this relationship is going, ie either play me (marry me) or let me find someone else that will (trade me)
"How are things going with Sue??" "well, she gave me the "Play me or Trade me" speech last night, because we have been dating for a year and haven't mentioned getting married"

"Bummer, I feel for you..."
Trademe is a auction site for the New Zealand people, but now it also has Trademe Jobs and a number of other sites under the same ownership as Trademe such as Find Someone, Old Friends and smaps. Is now overrun by people wanting too much money for cheap things and second-hand dealers due to media publicity.

Trademe is not only an auction site with its various message boards, these message boards are filled up with annoying as hell people but there are some good people, much like any other message board.

Trademe incorperates alot from the worldwide eBay, such as "My Trademe", Feedback Percentage (i.e. 100% Positive or 45.7% Positive) and Text Message notifications.

Trademe is now under Australian ownership after being sold for 700 million NZ dollars. Trademe was invented by Sam Morgan.

Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.
Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
