So you're dropping her like a bad habit, right?

Interesting timing on reviving this thread. I've got my first official date (drinks & taking girls back to my place to mug doesn't count) since the g/f and I broke up.

She's pretty much the gold standard in what I'm looking for. Tall (5'9"), thin (I'd be shocked if she's anything other than a 4), smart (graduated college at 20), sarcastic, plays golf and loves to drink, and, as a bonus, her parents are well off (have a vacation house on St. Simons Island).

Afraid so.... too bad though, as she had many really good qualities otherwise... but that's a tough one to get over...

"Maybe you could both come to NZoners and we could have Phil construct a wonderboard booth with a gloryhole, and we all turn around while one of you gets in it. Then we try to guess who's inside by our "feelings"."



HOLY SHIT ROFLCOPTER

Oh man. I got a little harsh there. Sorry. I was chillin' with Lindsey Lohan and the coke and booze got the best of me. (speaking of internet sideshow)

LMAO

Translated: The Rabbit is mankind's best invention evah.

Another bitch is stalking me.

Finally, one you have a shot at.

I can see a hot girl under all that flab.

Go for it!

Update on my date: I called her today, no answer. Sent her a text a couple hours later, no answer.

Said I'd call her yesterday when we left, she said sounds good.

There you have it. lol

Maybe she had a bad reaction to that Big Mac.

I'd wait three days and then text her again.

Like taking financial advice from a bum.

Sorry. I felt like going Slayer tonight.

I knew it.

I'd guess you lost her sometime between telling her that the Chiefs might keep up to four tight ends and asking her if she thought Tony Franklin or Ty Brackenridge might make the team.

If she's lost that easily, then she wasn't worth it.

Does anybody here just stop communicating, though? That's a chick thing, through and through. Doesn't tell you she's not interested, she just freakin' ignores you until you get the message.

I don't think there's ever been a single chick I've dropped that I couldn't tell face to face.

Chicks are such pussies. ;)

There are guys that do that, too.

Then they're pussies.

There's no reason you can't tell someone you went on a handful of dates with that you're just not interested anymore. You'd have to be completely spineless.

Agreed. Although, I'll admit I've done it once.

Well I've done it too, but I was ****ing 18.

The chicks I'm talking about are grown adult women, theoretically.

Most people gage the level of interest someone is likely to have in their pet hobby and share accordingly, especially when they first meet the person. I'm sure Dickershun falls in that catagory (i.e. I was pulling his chain).

Yes, I realize that. ;)

go for it! you have to crawl before you walk

For example.

Went to this weeklong orientation a few months ago. Whole time, sat next to this woman. We hit it off okay, and by the end of the week I made a move and asked for her number so we could go grab some drinks some time.

She said sure, gave me her number, then never answered the phone or returned my call.

Grown, adult women. It's really dumb.

Maybe they're shy. Or don't want to hurt your feelings.

Or maybe they are real bitches who sit there and laugh at the fact you're trying to get a hold of them.

Damn, out sarcasmed again. :banghead:

You should be the next contestant on that NBC 20 vs 40 crap.

Most realistically, they're seriously selfish, spineless, or mentally defunct.

Because I've been shy for a portion of my life, and I certainly don't make it a habit to hurt people's feelings unless they're Bronco fans. But that's why I actively tell them I'm not interested.

You'd have to be a special kind of stupid to think that just shutting someone out is easier on them than simply telling them you're not interested.

Is that the show where a guy has to choose between 20 year olds and 40 year olds?

'Cause I've had 30somethings shut me out, too.

I've got quite an eclectic array of rejections. ;)

That would be the one.

I agree 100%. If I'm not interested, or know I have no intentions of answering when a guy calls, it's a lot easier to not give him my number. That, plus it makes zero sense to give your number to a perfect stranger who you plan on jilting (sp?).

I've been on the receiving end a few times myself. I know how it feels, so I wouldn't want to do that to someone else.

Does anyone ever choose the 40 year olds? Honestly?

Couldn't tell ya. I caught about 8 minutes of an ep and the 40 year olds were acting like 20 year olds.

Right, and I'll let that shit pass when it's a teenager and they just don't know any freaking better, but if it's a grown woman than you simply can't live life right if you're unable to honestly confront friendly people with negative news.

I was just joking around earlier but thinking about this garbage is getting me a little riled.

Ugh.

Edit: If you want to watch some unwatchable dating shit, try watching some show they play late on MTV where a teenager's parents hate the teen's romantic other, so they select people for their offspring to compete against for his/her affection.

It's absolute nails on a chalkboard.

Simma Down, now. Simma down.

eggsactly

**** that. I'm always totally cool when I get shut out. I never harrass the shutter, I never get upset and rampage, I never confront them at their place if I know where they live.

And that shit's really hard. When someone does something rude to you simply because they can and you'd literally suffer no consequences if you were a dick to them about it... resisting that urge is a lot harder than I'm given credit for.

Most of the time it just rolls off your back, but then you sit down and think about how you took her on a date, treated her decently, gave her something fun to do on a weekend night, even paid for everything, and she can't return the courtesy of telling you that while she had a good time, she simply doesn't think things should progress.

I love how chicks always listen to ****ing pop music that's always so empowering. It's songs about honesty and true love and how you don't need a man to make you powerful or whatever the hell pop music is saying these days. But when a moment comes where you have to tell a nice guy something he might not want to hear, they wilt like stale fruit.

Morons.

Honesty is obviously the best way to go, but I'd rather have nothing instead of the crap some girls make up... my 'favorite' was one a while back from a 27yo who said "I can't go out for a while" a few days after a first date.

So, do you think 6 months is long enough? ;) (j/k)

Hmmm... I've gotten that a couple times, too.

I don't know what's worse, the woman who'll confront you but has to make it easier on herself by transparently lying, or the woman who can't muster up the personal strength to even lie so she just shuts you out completely. Both are the equivolent of a turtle hunching up in its shell at the slightest scent of danger.

You have to cast a wide net these days when you're on the scene, otherwise you're SOL. But that usually means you have to wade through a lot of bullshit to find the ones you like.

If you're anything like me, you bottle that shit up inside, and then end up exploding on some innocent person who you consider a friend. That's happened in the recent past for me, and I felt like a complete tool afterward. I imagine it's even harder for a guy. They are usually the ones dependent on keeping the conversation going, paying for things, driving, etc.

That's another thing. In addition to having a night out and the luxury of being paid for and everything, chicks sometimes literally just sit there and have the poor asshole taking them out drive conversation that's personal while being appropriate, cute without being schmaltzy, and polite without being bland.

That's a toughest job of dating, if you ask me, not the politics of a breaking up.

I've gotten much better about that. The last few dates I've been on, I was the one who actually had to keep the conversation going. I had this fear of being the overly quiet person. Now, I have to worry about not boring them to tears. Hey, if they don't want to contribute, they take what they get!

Any time I feel like I have to pry conversation out of someone, **** it. It's over. Best I can do is be polite enough to maybe get action at the end of the date.

jesus, will you two make out already, or what?!?

Just let a guy bitch for once in his life.

..........Alright, so I bitch quite a bit. How about you just go away then.

A male and a female can't have a simple conversation without hooking up at the end?

sensitive much? I was being a smartass

one of my best friends is a female... sure they can

then again, she's the same one that we almost had a three-way with (my fiance and I)... so maybe that's different

Jesus, the way you said that just makes it sound even more like we're on an inevitable course towards hooking up.

Don't jump on me when I'm in whack-everyone-in-earshot-with-a-sock-of-nickels mode.

heh--I won't even make the inevitable gr......errr..... flavored electrolyte drink comment that what you say elicits...

don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head

If that's Linkin Park lyrics I'm going to punch you in the stomach.

Well, hell. I'm trying to think up of some smartass comment, but coming up short.

Uhhh...I haven't shaved my legs.....I need to wash my hair....I don't think I'm your type......

All pretty lame, but true.

Yeah, no...

Should have just quit responding to his posts.

not a fan of old school hip hop, are we direction?

I thought about that...lol.

He'd like that too much, though.

Definitely NOT Linkin Park.

NO SHIT.

LOL

Rep.

I think I remember a fat penguin singing it in a cartoon.

So, end of rant?

who was ranting?

wait... direction was ranting about the unfairness of dating

and I agree with him. dating sucks--I'm glad to be done with it (hopefully for a long time)

grandmaster flash.

How do you "almost" have a three-way and then not?

The booze ran out...

quoted for truth

So -- I got a phone call from the chick who never answered her phone after the weeklong orientation thing today.

And I got a text from the chick who I met with a couple days ago.

Sounds like I was a bit premature -- still felt good to vent, though.

my woman and her bi-curious streak got shy and backed out. :banghead:

I'm taking the night off of work tomorrow night. I decided to email a guy I was emailing, but have kind of stopped hearing from, to see if he wants to get together tomorrow evening. Hell, a weeknight off. I'm gonna try to take advantage of that. Sure hope he reads his email before then. If not, I'm going to go see a movie. I'm deciding between the new Hairspray, Transformers, or Spiderman 3 (playing at a cheaper theater). I'm leaning towards Transformers.

Well H5N1, you were lied to.

I went out with a woman for three years who claimed the entire time that she was bi-curious and would make a go for a threesome if the opportunity presented itself, but never once did we come remotely close to it happening.

I honestly can't see having a three way when one of the people is someone I care about. I'd feel as though I was cheating, even if I did have my SO's approval.

So, is there an age when girls stop playing head games with ugly mofos such as myself and GoChiefs and become women?

Are you sure you didn't misinterpret something somewhere?

Probably not, J-Town. If so, I haven't aged enough to date them.
