Like, messages that don't seem to indicate that they've given my profile even a cursory once-over.
Haven't bothered with this at all since December but received a message from a girl last night that read simply "I'm in marketing too! What do you market?!"
I understand not wanting to put too much into a message that is far from guaranteed to get a reply, but maybe if you put a bit more in you might be more likely to receive one, no?
Still replied, putting only slightly more effort in than she did.

i'm on the cusp of deleting this i think...i deleted it from my phone and turned off alerts so i am not checking it anyways. i'm not really interested in meeting new people to go on dates with at the moment.
― bene_gesserit, Monday, 6 February 2012 18:46 (fourteen years ago)
supposed to meet someone tonight; i don't even know why, really.
not feeling like doing this at all lately
― mookieproof, Monday, 6 February 2012 22:08 (fourteen years ago)
buck upif they penetrate yr wall you'll know they're real
― ELI OWNS YOUR HUSBAND (forksclovetofu), Monday, 6 February 2012 22:50 (fourteen years ago)
one of the main reasons i signed up for this was wall penetration

if you know what i mean
mookie go on the date, see what happens, such is lifei'm kind of in awe abt a monday night date tbh, but at the same time, it makes sense, could make monday more fun. and if it's not fun, then you can be like, 'oh my tuesday is crazy and starts early, gotta go'
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Monday, 6 February 2012 22:58 (fourteen years ago)
i've hit the 3-month mark of dating the same person and i'm midway btwn fleeing and being okay with it
my feelings feel weird

i haven't logged on in a while and now things look different. where is the search function? i can't seem to find it. hm. feel like an old lady who can't adapt to things that change.
― rayuela, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 01:50 (fourteen years ago)
also how can someone be a 92% match but only 52% friend??
― rayuela, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 01:51 (fourteen years ago)
no walls were penetrated in the making of this evening
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 01:57 (fourteen years ago)
Something is stopping me emailing last night's date and I don't know what
― ljubljana, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 01:59 (fourteen years ago)
are you sure you don't know
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 02:15 (fourteen years ago)
is your email server down?
― valleys of your mind (mh), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 02:17 (fourteen years ago)
I think it's nothing deeper than a pathetic mortal fear of scheduling a second date, realising it ain't going anywhere, and having to back off. I hate that. Obviously, same could happen to me at his instigation, but at this early stage it's me backing off that I don't want to have to deal with.
― ljubljana, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 02:19 (fourteen years ago)
might you more easily overcome this fear with a different gentleman, or do you think it is universal?
(also have you ever said 'ain't' aloud?)
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 02:24 (fourteen years ago)
Sorry to hear there was insufficient penetration!
― rayuela, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 02:25 (fourteen years ago)
My failed date cancelled on me, said he'd call in a given timeframe, didn't call, but is still looking at my profile? He'd better be dying from that flu. Maybe I'll tell him that.
― one little aioli (Laurel), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 02:28 (fourteen years ago)
was just talking with a friend ('women who run with the wolves' book club night yo (book club of 2)) and she enlightened me about how i was being kinda heavy abt 3-month mark and that i was in fact still just dating this person and that i can totally keep flirting with people and date other people too! ohmy! and so even though i am reading yr tales of not-so-great dates, i feel that i should delve further into dating.
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 02:50 (fourteen years ago)
i have a lot of walls
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 02:51 (fourteen years ago)
one penetration at a time, as they say, right
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 02:54 (fourteen years ago)
sorry
dag
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 02:55 (fourteen years ago)
I dont really miss this, except for perhaps the false sense that I was being somewhat proactive about my "dating life."
Can we have a singles v-day party, new yawkers?
― Virginia Plain, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 02:55 (fourteen years ago)
xp - I think I have reasonably universal reactions to situations with gentlemen. if I really fall for someone early on then I still fail to get in touch, but through fear of rejection. If my main feeling after meeting a gentleman is 'intrigued', I worry that being the one to suggest a second date will make it seem as though I'm more interested than I actually am at this stage. I know this is silly and probably rooted in a hateful girls-don't-ask-first mentality. I'll get a grip and email soon.
Also, ridiculously busy with work and about to be out of the country for nearly a week. And then, maybe, in NYC over Pres Day weekend! NYOKCsters FAP if it works out?
Ain't: several times a week, in righteous moments.

going to seattle, alas
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 03:01 (fourteen years ago)
darn. but not alas, because Seattle.
― ljubljana, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 03:02 (fourteen years ago)
I've met some good people on OKC who I'm still in fleeting contact with, but it's mostly been either super flaky people or people I've gone out with once or twice without any indication that there should be further dating (even though roughly half of those ladies seemed wholly prepared to jump directly into Serious Relationship Land, apparently accompanied by pretty much anybody), with the rare detour into longer-term stuff that has melted down. Most of the people I've been the most interested in I've met in real life, where I can get to know them before saddling things with the onus of dating. I just wish that was an easier thing to do once you're no longer in school.
I kinda just wanna delete my OKC profile and hope I bump into anyone who looks intersting in some real world sitch.

― ELI OWNS YOUR HUSBAND (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 04:55 (fourteen years ago)
I am officially on a declared OKC hiatus.
That's good ljubljana, I think letting things peter out so soon, without a second chance, would have been premature, whatever does or doesn't come of it.
― brain (krakow), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 09:04 (fourteen years ago)
i have already been invited to an anti vday party...but i think a vday fap is the first time i ever met ilxors oh so many years ago.
― bene_gesserit, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 15:20 (fourteen years ago)
i'll ask my friend who's having the party if she doesn't mind internet strangers coming though!
― bene_gesserit, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 15:24 (fourteen years ago)
Oh yes, I was at that too iirc.
― one little aioli (Laurel), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 15:24 (fourteen years ago)
