Just when you thought it was safe - OK CUPID PART 3: The Return of the WOO!

I do my best. Am generally always ready and willing for a FAP, especially a London one. Unless my latest adventures in lulzy ILX idiocy get me permabanned, or whatever.

(Re: my own OKC'ing, well, not much happening recently, although I've recogitated what I really want and dialed it back quite considerably)

If you come to Glasgow I'll buy you a Whisky for making me laugh tonight. Purely platonic, of course.

a number of people have informed me that with my erotic tastes I would go nutwire for the girl - so yeah if I ever have money I'll be down for a showing

Ilx feminist strikes again. Hahaha.

just thought id let u all know ive deleted my a/c

emil.y, Mahler

I figured it was a reference to *something* but it made me laugh. Soz duder.

Mahler, emil.y

I love this place.

if I was really on my game I'd have hyperlinked one of emil.y's wdyll photots

and not thrown extraneous t's into my posts

Wow, is this an official introduction? Does Mahler know I'm taken and just on this site for the lulz?

mahler's into polyphony, if you and C are interested

Gah, I actually pissed myself at that. Well, okay, I didn't actually piss myself. I laughed. Out loud.

My date texted me to say he'd be late. Text didn't arrive. Nor did my text to him asking where he was. I went home. We emailed. To be rescheduled.

good luck! and btw you are adorable so fuck all that 'i'm no supermodel i shouldn't be picky' business. don't settle for crap! you're worth someone awesome :D

Thanks! It's not that I'm for settling, just that... well, try the 'quickmatch' feature and see how shallow it's possible to become within about 10 minutes... it's disturbing. Need to get out there and meet people.

I forgot that I was still on OKCupid! I got an e-mail from them today suggesting three young ladies that I should contact. Number one was my ex-gf that I met on there...

Date rematch today with guy I failed to meet the other week.

my ex-that-i-met-on-there keeps popping up on my homepage - but it's cool - she writes good journal posts

also good luck ljubljana! or at least, make sure this episode of the OKCdyssey winds up one of the more entertaining ones...

Jesus, stood up a second time! Well, not really. I guess we left it casual and he had a legit work reason (involved with the immigration march on DC today). The bizarre thing is, my texts don't arrive with him and his don't arrive with me.

oh no! are you sure your texts don't arrive with him? it is not beyond some people to dick about with others. although if he's on a protest march he MUST be a good, conscientious fella eh?

recommend you affirm text status asap before proceeding, but you probably knew that already

Yeah - not sure how it can be affirmed, though, other than meeting him and trying it out on the spot. Not gonna push this one, up to him...

poor fella doesn't know what he's missing u_u

Call me paranoid but "oh i sent you a txt and i'm not getting yours" sounds like a bit of a porky to me :/

im limited e, if texts don't arrive it's because someone doesn't want them to arrive

yeah, it's a little hard to believe. His general vibe is good though, so he gets the benefit of the doubt.

Everyone always gets the benefit of the doubt. This is probably a bad thing.

Mind you, last year I had a 'voicemail message arrived 3 weeks later' experience, and that sure as hell was for real, and had serious consequences beyond arsing around with online dating.

Stupid technology.

I want to edit all the profiles and change the three descriptors to 'taking' 'myself' 'too seriously'.

haaaaaaaaaa americans amirite

I'm a opponent of knee-jerk UK antiamericanism and my last two thangs have been with Americans but... yes :-(

my housemate and I have the same provider and sometimes get txts three hours late

and a friend of mine can send me texts but never receive them from me

be cautious but not paranoid imo

I remember some funny story (I probably read on ILX) where a guy went backtracking in Europe and his GF forgot. Anyways, the story was basically reading the messages she sent him which begin harmless enough and then she starts getting angry and then she says she dumps him for not answering her and then she says she wants him back and then she changes her mind and sleeps with his friend. Dude comes back home from his trip and gets all the messages... hilarious. Anyone got a link?

Backtracking? Nice freudian.

It's on YouTube:

looool as of y/day evening she has officially won the race to get back into a relationship

Received v apologetic email ...

well I should hope so!

btw I'm convinced that meeting girls in real life is prob more my speed than meeting girls on OKC, I'm doing much better out of the former atm with one rather terribly nice girl

that stuff about the texts not arriving is some lying-ass bullshit imo

delivery reports are your friend. or an additional source of paranoia, depending.

If you're giving him another chance I say try calling and not texting although you might get the claim as you noted about not seeing the call or getting the voicemail.

i seriously cannot believe that people actually make pathetic, insane-o excuses like "i guess the text just didn't get to you". email getting stuck in spam folder MAYBE but texts do not just fricking disappear. sometimes they can take an hour or two to arrive. this will happen maybe once a year to a person. not twice in a row. maybe this boy has some kind of electromagnetic force-field around him, the result of a childhood radiation accident, that causes texts to not arrive or get sent. disrupto-boy! just when the villain is texting instructions to his henchmen, disrupto-boy arrives! hahaha! foiled again!

i remember when i lived with my parents, boys would "forget" my phone number all the time -- i found this perplexing because i had written it down, and it was in the phone book. additionally, the number was xxx-1234. and this many people just forgot? i believed it for a long time, but looking back, there's just no way.

don't mean to be a bummer, but i'm just saying you deserve better treatment than this. twice!

yeah balls in his court now, if he has the balls. don't put up with this bullshit

he does not have the balls, i guarantee you

I guess we left it casual

I do not think you should leave it "casual" next time. Agree to a specific time and place.

fwiw i get bad reception at home and at office and my txt (and vmail) situation is mad flaky. can be off by hours and some of mine don't end up going out at all.

so presumably you don't rely on it to convey time-sensitive information!

I do try not to, though obv it doesn't always work out that way. i've certainly missed important txts I was watching for. c'est la vie moderne in a big city with poor cell coverage and lots of bandwidth-hogging iphones on the network.
