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

disabled

I have an email from someone that I like & want to respond to but I don't go on the site at work, and I'm too tired to be sparkling and witty at night. Shd I email him like one line just to apologize for the delay? I feel responsible. Because a bunch of people haven't responded to me, either, and I'm like, "WHAT? WHAT DID I SAY? I'm too old for you, aren't I. You're 36, you can date 29-year-olds. And you're tall, and thin, and you appear to own at least one suit--I'm sure there's a tall, thin, athletic professional woman with a blow-out for you out there. You know what, just forget it." I'm probably doing this to that guy, aren't I.

Er I meant "athletic, professional," not actually "professional athlete." There's probably not a professional athlete out there for everyone.

email him back imo

if you don't go on the site at work, could you craft a sparkling and witty reply at work and then just log on at home & paste and send?

so there's no okcupid app for droid?

i mean android obv lol

Oh there is but I can't write on my phone. I can't think with my thumbs at a measured pace, and I can't cut and paste when I want to move a though to another paragraph, and etc. It makes me write in l33t speak out of annoyance with the technology.

rayuela has it, I'll write an email in another account and send it later. Now why didn't I think of that?!

My intriguing date met someone else and politely messaged to explain this. I politely responded. Next!

Next indeed!
I'm at a weirdpunk show and i say Go for Love not casual-maybe blahblahblah!

<3 this is the vibe that I'm feeling as well

I'm getting married

just kidding

connie u are such the playa on thyis thread

someone who looks a lot like jeremy sisto has messaged me...but i have this amorphous thing going with someone i really really like and even though i'm not sure where he's at i would feel bad going on a date someone else? i don't know how these things work.

Date attempt #2 tonight! This one is verbally agile, at least. I like that in an internet romance.

good luck laurel!

hey NYC OKC people

I will be in NYC (and DC) in the first half of April

hope we can have a FAP, if not a masssive collective date

I'm sure you will come up with a fabulous venue

pinefox! We're going to be AT the same thing! Of course there will be faps, probably many.

wait, do you mean the chickfactor shows?

[... or do we have a date I don't know about?]

Pinefox in NYC

Welcome Pinefox. Laurel, how was your date?

i really shouldn't get bummed out about okc girls NOT FEELIN IT, but dang, at least have the courtesy to decide you don't wanna go out anymore prior to, like, two hours before date #2

(especially if you're gonna keep blowing up my phone/gchat every day since a fun date #1 like nothing's wrong)

blug

hey pinefox i'm down for a fap! i'm also going to be having a bday party april 13th somewhere or other.

also in a weird twist of internet dating fate, i dated someone off okc who knows the pinefox irl a few years ago.

did he release a classic album on 9/11?

why yes

if it's not Bob Dylan then I wrote a lengthy online article on it

and if it is Bob Dylan then I still wrote a lengthy online article on it

it was totally bob dylan

"OK Computer & Theft"

do you have your article online somewhere (the non-bob dylan one)?

oui

it was in a countdown of my favourite LPs of the 2000s, not in any order save the order I happened to post them

thanks! nice article.

My date was interesting and smart and had a cuet dimple and liked me and stuff, but this dating thing might end up showing me a gross truth abt myself which is that I'm only attracted to people I'm afraid of. If I'm not at least slightly over-awed or intimidated for some reason, my libido is a blank, blank wall that everything just bounces off of.

I completely understand that.

Actually it's possible that it's the other way around, that attraction makes me nervous and therefore the person seems intimidating. I mean that makes more sense. But me being kind of self-harming w/r/t romantic partners makes an unfortunate amt of sense too.

I get easily intimidated by new dates too, esp if they are older than me? I think that might be one reason why I date younger guys which is pretty pathetic :/

For me it's the latter, I'm pretty sure: the attraction makes me nervous. I'd give a lot right now to lose that and keep my sense of self whenever it happens.

Wouldn't we all, I suspect? Haha. Terrible! :)

I've become so disheartened once again by my recent re-foray. The few ppl I have contacted are all "busy", one met some other lady just before me, one really claims he wants to meet but its a bad time for a couple weeks as hes running a business or something... couple of other non-okc things I thought might be a goer fell into an embarrasing heap of silently being ignored.

I get it, guys. I get it.

"I went on a date with an otherwise cute girl who wore a "Trogdor the Burninator" shirt and said at least one 4chan meme to me, unprompted, out loud."

THIS DOES NOT SOUND WEIRD IT SOUNDS AWESOME

what if that 4chan meme was you gonna get raped

...yeah ok good point.

moved in with my girlfriend weekend before last

• He spent one-third of the time telling me about the musical he was writing about raccoons, one-third of the time talking about C++, and one-third of the time demonstrating the plot of Othello using the salt and pepper shakers.

I'd date this guy.

Some of these are amazing stories and would be worth it

That manatee one is awesome

moved in with my girlfriend weekend before last

wow! and you met her through okc? or outside, and that was the reason you disabled?

met her through okc. supposed to be temporary although we've only spent three nights apart since we met.

If I'm not at least slightly over-awed or intimidated for some reason, my libido is a blank

everyone likes the bad boys.
