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

Where is the thrilled/elated option

i forgot abt that one
ohgeez

Heh aw <3

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.

also how can someone be a 92% match but only 52% friend??

no walls were penetrated in the making of this evening

Something is stopping me emailing last night's date and I don't know what

are you sure you don't know

is your email server down?

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.

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?)

Sorry to hear there was insufficient penetration!

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.

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.

i have a lot of walls

one penetration at a time, as they say, right

sorry

dag

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?

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

darn. but not alas, because Seattle.

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.

% of people that are sick in real life <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< % of people that are supposedly sick on OKC

He texted me, I texted back, problem solved, no date to scheduled till I get back from upcoming UK flit though

i would be down for vday nyc fap
someone keep me in the loop

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.

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.

i'll ask my friend who's having the party if she doesn't mind internet strangers coming though!

Oh yes, I was at that too iirc.

you definitely were!

would be down w/a singles ny vday party & meeting some of yall

I'm there, let's do it.

six singles enter, three couples leave, six very awkward threads the next day

Last night I was logged into OkCupid and I decided to update some pics and some of my profile. Which meant a bunch of freaks then swarmed at me. Some guy was IMing me asking me to go over to his house today and bring sandwiches. When I said I didn't want to do that, he got angry with me. I said that every first meeting has to be in public, and he got all pouty and said he was bummed because then it meant we couldn't "goof off"

Then he said I could treat him to breakfast later.

I kindly informed him that reverse PUA Mystery stuff doesn't work on me, and signed off.

This is hopeless.

I've logged on, looked at people, and just cannot get that excited about anyone. Feel the same way, Mands. Although THAT guy is a real treat, I have to say. Bring...SANDWICHES?

i would totally like a sandwich right now
GOOF OFF EVERYBODY

I really don't react well to pushy people, it makes me highly upset

will date for food

can't believe i can't find macy skipper's "goofin off" on youtube

If we can't crash b_g's party, where should we go? Somewhere more romantical than out usual east village outings? Like, the king cole bar at the st Regis hotel, or bemelmans bar at the Carlyle?

We should take ourselves out for something nice, yes. I like Bemelmans, everyone likes Bemelmans.

Alternately we could go to the Subway Bar by Bloomingdales. A dive bar home away from our normal home in the EVil.

i am single fyi

my V Day joke is "Or as they call it at my house, Passover"

(old Bob Hope Oscars line)

the constant presence of "make me a sandwich" in the meme arsenal of internet misogyny-lite banter is steadily ruining sandwiches for me tbh. :(

i am thinking of returning to my okc profile just so i can change my description to "five foot five with dimples, potential wife credentials" and veto everyone who seems not to recognise it (i suspect this might be everyone)

Dr. M., will you hang out with us and make my v-day complete?

Maybe we could start at bemelmans and move on to subway after we've thrown all our money away, or the cover starts, which ever comes first.

I have to say, this thread is not inspiring me to un-suspend my profile.

what is the "make a sandwich" thing? i have googled that and "pua" and come across some incomprehensible posts about it

wd hafta check film schedule

xp

it's a dumb thing where guys respond to women making an intelligent point by saying "yeah, why don't you make me a sandwich" i.e. women belong in the kitchen yuk yuk

???? surely no one actually does this
