Ghostwriter!

iirc, one of these teens will write the profile for you

can't decide if getting a ghostwriter for your dating profile wd be the better synopsis for a romantic comedy or a horror movie

This just brought back the weirdest memory!

I had to ghostwrite someone's dating profile once! He had hired me to help him with his pronunciation, and I would meet him at work and we would basically just talk for an hour. I tried to give him some assignments, but he kept not doing them and changing the subject when I tried to talk about the book I asked him to read.

Then he showed me his dating profile and asked me to "give him advice" about it, and I did. Why not, he needed some help. Then things got a little weird when he took me to the car dealership on their free car wash day and asked me to just sit in the waiting room with him, so people could see that he was with a woman. Our professional relationship ended shortly after that.

tbf, if I was trying to do the bait-and-switch to make other ladies feel like they should compete to have me, you would definitely make the list

"You're going to have to work extra hard, ladies. I'm dating at this level."

ha, i do make a good emergency wedding date even though no one has ever taken me up on this offer.

bene_, in your shoes I would probably seize a comfortable moment to say something like "hey, while you're gone, I'm gonna, like ... not make out with other people, you know?" and see if his eyes look like the eyes of someone who is being suddenly imposed upon.

"You're going to have to work extra hard, ladies. I'm dating at this level."

yeah, I was going to say something similar earlier. Or you could casually mention that you were going to disable your okc profile tonight, or something like that.

Jackie: So, Steven, when I go to Marquette with Donna this weekend, there'll be lots of cute boys around.
Hyde: Lucky you.
Jackie: Well, unlucky them, because I won't let them kiss me. Yeah, that's my promise to you. (Hyde gives her a blank stare.) Now, I'm not saying you have to promise me anything, but if you want to, now would be a good time. (Hyde continues his blank stare.) Okay, well just know…that I won't be kissing anyone.
Hyde: Good to know.
Jackie: Good to know? Well, that's it?
Hyde: Did I stutter?

Who's the lucky fellah, bg?

In Gilmore Girls, Lane tries to teach Rory how to have "the talk":

"We've been dating a few weeks no. Where do we stand? What are we to each other? If another girl asks you out do you feel free to go?"

Of course Dean was so infatuated with Rory that the talk wasn't necessary.

it's the person i metioned awhile back, who i had exchanged 50 okc messages with before our first date thing. i'm feeling less and less inclined to initiate this conversation but i feel like it would be wrong to do something without saying something!

I haz a date on Sunday. Third time some kind of charm? God I hope so.

Just for some kind of sparks, excitement, mashing, anything the slightest bit exciting.

hey bg, i don't think you should feel like you have any obligation to not do anything, if nothing's been explicitly stated on either end.

laurel, 3rd okc date or third date w/same person?

3rd person! I know it's not much considering how many dates you have to go on to meet an interesting and compatible stranger, but they're just happening so slooooowly....

Bg, do you have a definite prospect? He seems to like electronic communication...maybe you could initiate the convo by text.

Good luck Sunday, laurel.

Nerves!

did the gang go away, at least?

Yeah. Am beginning to reconsider the wisdom of hanging out with them 3 nights in a row, though.

have realized i should probably deactivate this while unemployed as i can't really afford to be dating atm

though that didn't stop me from going out with this one p badass girl friday night who, i suspect, might be a good new friend. also nice student who i've been activisty with for the last 6 months is now single and seems interested in spending some non-activisty time with me, so there's that.

Well, so, that happened.

uh oh?

No! Actually I think it was shockingly normal for a date! I'm a little surprised by "normal" at this point, maybe? He is v v pretty btw.

btw guys i had a breakthrough tonight, i realized i am only attracted to lesbians, it all makes sense

lol when I see "that happened" I jump to assuming that it's an admission that more happened than was expected

There might have been some unrepentant smooching in full view of a bar half-full of people. Which actually IS more than I expected.

whee!

Excellent, I thought my nuance detector was not working this fine Monday morning but I see it is calibrated after all

Oh you.

GUY just messaged me that should say.

oblivious or negging?

may think you're sarah mclachlan

Oblivious, just some random ESL dude from SEAsia - get those occasionally. Sort of Mahir-esque messages.

oh no, not another tipping conversation on ilx

Second date awfully far away.

like how far?

Oh just next week. Although since entire weekend fell through, maybe I can resched.

I thought you were going to say "tomorrow", all coyly ;)

Haha! *bat* *bat*. But no.

Um yes. It is now tomorrow.

smooth operator!

oh no, not another tipping conversation on ilx
