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

Ha ha, that first paragraph is totally and completely OTM.

I quit Okcupid a while ago, but about two weeks ago I made a new name and filled out my profile with honest, thoughtful answers - it existed for two full days before I deleted it again. I just couldn't risk rumors being started that I am honest and thoughtful. And also: I hate people.

aw! well like i say, okc has been good to me thus far. i think the key is to be light-hearted about as much as you can, and to engage with people of a similar bent

So update. Some girl in a not particularly close beach town looked at my profile and I was all like, Whatever, she's cute and she has an interesting profile, so I sent her a note saying we have stuff in common, would you want to discuss that? And she wrote back, Do we? Your profile is vague. Discuss. And then a smiley emoticon. And I wrote back saying what it was I thought we had in common, like all these bands she listed and books and movies and stuff, superficial stuff, and, you know, just left what I hope was a nice little note. But I guess not, because she didn't reply and so I let it and the not particularly close beach town drop.

Huh.

What is your approximate stalk-to-approach ratio?

And also: I hate people.

me too. hence no profile.

I've met an awesome girl on OKC.

Ridiculous!

Met her IRL?

Not yet but we're talking three or four hours per night on MSN, spoke for a few hours on the phone late Saturday night, send each other lads of txts on the phone and e-mails from work. And she works across the street, bizarrely. We've made plans to meet this weekend!!

You guys should do this!

It's been quite amazing. We're in constant contact via SMS and work e-mails. We've been on MSN each night. We've had two long phone calls, one tonight that went for three and a half hours.

The first date is on Sunday...

could this be the end of angry pato

let's not get carried away

WOW, that went well. She said she felt really comfortable with me and "it's like we've already been on twenty dates".

She's bored and ready to dump you already?

queen girl pata

xxp - I am happy for you, and hope it works out, or if it doesn't, will at least be a source of entertainment for ilx.

i had the same thought as sic but i forced myself not to post it, which gives me soaring moral eagle status.

That totally works though. I have a friend who, while she's def not unattractive, gets a disproportionate amount of attention from guys. It always mystified me until I was out with her one day and noticed that she basically makes eye contact and smiles at every man she sees. I really think that's at least half of the reason ppl fawn all over her - it makes her seem approachable. I think I've always been the opposite - not because I don't like smiling but just because I'm usually too lost in my own world to think about smiling at strangers. Years ago I had a conversation with a bunch of ppl and these guys were saying that I was intimidating and not approachable when in reality I don't think I'm actually like that at all it just never really occurred to me to do the smile/eye contact thing.

this is otm!

i mean, not about enbb, i wouldn't really know, but about smiling and being approachable

i am a huge frowny face

but sometimes i feel like...if u don't like frowny faces gtfo

that bombshell has got me doing some frantic envisioning revision.

i had the same thought as sic but i forced myself not to post it,

ha ha, I left it unposted all night in case SOMEONE ELSE wanted to get in with first zing

haters gonna hate

Phil - :D

Also re the smiling thing - I think I smile a lot in general just not at random guys/strangers like the girl I was referring to does. I think she goes out of her way to do that esp when it comes to men.

lol sic, didn't it just hang there and hang there.

but lately i've been wondering if the world would be a better place if everyone stopped picking on sincere young men with so much sex to give.

...and all they get in return are easy zings and suggest bans.

I hope kbp has found qgp

I am meeting the girl after work tonight! IN YOUR FACE, DOUBTERS!!

I think I continue to speak for everyone when I continue to say “liveblog”

YES.

picking up this waitress

I think I continue to speak for everyone when I continue to say “liveblog”

buy me out of my current phone contract, they want $125 for me to cancel their utterly pathetic service!! THEN I get an iPhone dude iPhone.

you know, iphone is not necessary for liveblog.

For me it is!!

picking up this waitress is in top 5 threads of all time, easy

where are you meeting her, I'll come and liveblog from a discreet distance

we also need phonecam footage

This isn't OK Cupid but I think it's in the same ballpark. Anybody ever have a fringe friend on Facebook that you find attractive and would like to go out with, but you realize no good catalyst for contacting again them really exists? Kind of a bummer.

whoops, "them again." forgot to take my dyslexia pulls

we also need phonecam footage

typical jim!!

one notes that Phil is home and on the internet.

and i don't remember hearing anything about awesome metal shows

OK so am I right in thinking that she's the one you're exchanging cutesy status comments on facebook with now?? ;-p
