maybe i'll just let him know that it's awkward, funny/peculiar timing for me, leave it at that for a while, then go back to it.


Well you could just be honest with him about that and still go out on the understanding that right now it's not happening? That's one possibility anyway.

(Ironically, after my xanga post about how people behave around smokers, i just got a message from a guy saying "You should quit smoking, it makes you look old." Thanks for the feedback chum, but i don't know you. And *honestly* you cannot be bothered by my smoke, 2000 miles away. So I'm not putting out this here cigarette. Jeez. Some way to get a girl interested, huh.)


~You are a *Taverner*.
Sometimes patrons want to go where everybody knows their names, though it helps 
when half of them are named John. When people want to celebrate, or commiserate, 
they gather to your establishment. You provide the atmosphere, the warmth, rum, 
and even an ear to bend. Did I mention the rum? Years before the language will be 
mangled with terms like facilitator and networking and interpersonal communication,
you've overseen it all, and broken up a few bar fights, to boot.~

There's such a lot of guys who think that telling a girl what to do will catch her interest. I wonder if they teach them that in boy school or something.
Oh, I forgot. It's this asshole strategy of "make her feel insecure and then she'll be totally grateful when you show an interest in her".

I replied asking him if the smell bothered him from here. But he probably has no sense of irony.

from friend's use, my brother's use, and this thread, i decided to create a profile. partly just to see, partly because actually meeting people to go to stuff would be cool.

first impressions are not good. going through some of the questions on which matches are built, and i can't help but get sick pretty quick of the idiotic repetive nature of a lot of the material. why would i want to be involved with these morons?

i was surprised when i got a message pretty soon after setting it up though. i was however less impressed when i read the message. i got a message from a woman, saying how she might have messaged me already, or not. and wow, didn't we get a similar score in the "how fucked up are you quiz?". she suggested that she didn't like my beard. then admitted she was quite drunk. um. she didn't message me before. i didn't take the quiz she was talking about. and i'm tee total. i'm soooo in there.

Irony has often enough been regarded as a "weapon of the weak". He may think he's got you where he wants you. Wink

He very well may. But he doen't. That was my one and only reply. I'm no longer responding to his messages.

while i may well shave my beard off, for my own reasons, you do seem to have missed the part where i suggested she was a blithering idiot.

Even a blithering (female) idiot still has some potential. She may be good in the rack, or maybe she as a brilliant friend (who is good in the rack).

As opposed to a blithering idiot (male), which of course means there isn't even potential? Big Grin

*threads lurches out of Board detritus zombie-like*

*is shoved hard on stage*

Um...hi.

Well, it's been a while since I've posted here and the blues of several months ago seem at the moment to be hiding in corners. I thought I'd tell you all how things are going.

Well, I'm still single. But I did meet a girl recently who took a shine on me who I dated for a bit. It hasn't worked out, but I've learned a lot about myself, and what I want.

In short, I've decided that right at this moment my desperate quest to find a girlfriend is in abeyance, as I think my main priority should be finding friends. Good friends who look out for me and are fun. Like you guys have been.

At the same time a really close friend of mine who I had an attraction to said that in different circumstances things might have been different between us. Which was a really, really nice thing to here, and has ignited a spark of self-belief inside me.

So anyway, I just want to say both sorry and thanks. Sorry for being dismissive of much advice, though I must admit most of it still does baffle me. It's not a failure on your part, it's the way my brain works - deeply cynical. Thanks for only occasionally losing patience with me. There's still a number who won't talk to me because of it, and I can understand it. But you have to understand where I was, too.

So in conclusion, I've returned to a semblence of the original Mark for now, and looking at different priorities than before. Who knows when it'll come back again but at the moment I'm realigning things to more constructive purposes.

Sorry, and thanks Smile



"The other night I dreamed that King George VI was dead, and that Helen Hardinge had somehow or other got herself proclaimed Queen of England, and that I was detailed to go and tell her that it wouldn't do at all; and when I did this, all she said was, 'You see, I am really Queen Mary,' and I said, 'Oh very well' - words to that effect, and woke up.

Last night I dreamed that Eisenhower came to stay with us, and he insisted on being put to sleep in the dog kennel, with a collar and chain about his neck."

It's good to see you back, Mark. Smile

As for my own dating misadventures, I totally fell hard for a girl I met over OKC and dated for awhile, but it seems that it's not there for her, which is disappointing, but that's the way it goes sometimes. I'm not going to dwell on it. I'm back in the game. Got a response yesterday, so we'll see how this one goes.


------
"Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying 'yes' begins things. Saying 'yes' is how things grow. Saying 'yes' leads to knowledge."
~Stephen Colbert
