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

nope!

:(

I'd totally go on a date with you. Stupid ocean.

oh, i'm sorry. earlier i thought it was good news. can you just keep it activated and check it every once in a while to see if someone promising comes along?

u r too kind

the problem isn't with okc exactly, but more that i am basically unhappy all the time and don't want to do anything at all, let alone chat with/try to impress strangers : /

I totally understand how that feels :( *hugs*

IN other news: found an intriguing looking guy on okc who plays piano, seems well read and smart and is p good looking.. but then he says 2 of his fave authors are Eckhardt Tolle and *David Icke*.

Run a mile screaming?

tbh, and of course all i want is for you to be happy really and truly, i think that is wise. and not only because you don't want to fall into any unhealthy 'this person will save me from unhappiness' stuff or have the other person fall into 'i can save him from unhappiness' stuff. that is a twisted path.

but this also brings up the issue, which i think maybe has been discussed in this thread before, of being ready to date and how that doesn't necessarily mean you need to have all your shit together and be "healed" and whatevs. to me it means you're ready to welcome other people into your life (however messy it may be) as feeling, thinking individuals who you respect (and want to get in the pants of). yes i am an idealist.

xp

you never know trayce...

I dunno, a guy whos *fave* author is a madman who thinks lizard ppl run the world is a bit :/ to me.

I am so jilly jane judgemental sometimes, ha.

unless it's a joke anybody who thinks Icke is worth reading is a giant idiot tbh

i think being judgmental about this kind of thing is a-ok
unless it's a joke, but he's taking a big risk there if it is...

No sooner do I put the proverbial 'out to lunch' sign up on my account (I never seem to get cynical/smart enough to deactivate properly) than a cute and smart seeming girl sends me a very nice and complimentary message. But it's okay because she's 100 miles away and SO not gonna happen. Nice to get a little boost, but it doesn't really do that much to dissuade me from sealing off that whole dating thing for the time being.

Obvs I feel you on the not wanting to date, mookieproof. I feel like I hae expended way too much time and energy on that part of my life with nothing to show for it. I'm kinda curious to see what life is like when I just focus completely on my own shit and the people who are already in my life.

I wonder sometimes if I'm getting to an age where most of what's left of the dating people is people who just aren't any good at it...

'dating POOL'

LG, maybe your date was an ice princess? I didn't know that kisses could be cold and repetitive.

ZS, no ones out of your league, but if she's on the site and willing to talk to you, eventually she has to meet you or you should let her go.

I talked to quite a few people who wanted to email all the time, but when it came down to it they were never available to meet. After a few weeks I just started ignoring them. There was no one I was super into tho.

One guy sent me text messages all the time and multiple pics of him and his brother and his nieces and pics from his childhood and etc. but he would never make a plan with me. The only reason I wrote to him originally is bc he was the only guy on okc to mention Gilmore Girls in his profile.

Sorry you're feeling bad, mookie:(.

There have been some guys I've been ok with chatting to but not really "felt it" as far as meeting up with them. I think thats because being OKC it immediately sets up a construct of "this has an end aim of us gettin' it awnnn" and I dont always want that with someone, and some guys seem nice but I just know I'm not INTO them in that way. Its hard!

he was the only guy on okc to mention Gilmore Girls in his profile.

Although doing so on OKC hasn't done me any favors, I did basically start dating someone once after we had a long and involved conversation about Gilmore Girls that mutated into flirting. So this is apparently an effective tack, fellas!

she asked to meet! she just asked if i would rather recover first from my faceplant or go ahead and meet anyway.

:)

yaay :)

ask her to sign your face bandages

Hey the fact she is giving you the option to save face (ahurrrrr sorry) and wait til you heal up is also v awesome of her - go for it, she seems nice already.

does anyone else think this is a really weird logo/mascot?

It's the robot of love what is so weird abt that

I always assumed that was some ref to their "clever" match algorithms.

hahaaa robot of love - i kept thinking it was some sort of pill!

animated drug of love

Its a bit weird that it looks sad, tho!

yeah it looks very sad and possibly injured? i dunno, just a weird thing to have all over such a huge dating site i feel like.

will sign up for website if it dispenses robotic love drugs from my screen tbh

I was thinking... OK Cupid -> OK Computer -> Radiohead -> Paranoid Android -> sad robot?

Lol love it

yeah it looks very sad and possibly injured? i dunno, just a weird thing to have all over such a huge dating site i feel like.

seems absolutely appropriate to me

i think ok computer every time i see okc, but i used to be that guy so

I WISH I COULD HEEEEEELLLP :\

ok i'm done

*claps*

i would post citizenkane.gif but certain ilx threads have called into question the meaning of that clap, and i mean my clap earnestly

Haha. I get that with *golf clap* - does that mean earnest "well done sir" or sarky "nice one lad".

now i am imagining this guy's antennae as arms he is sadly unable to clap with
