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?

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!

jojothejojo (toandos), Saturday, 25 February 2012 18:07 (twelve years ago) link

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.

bene_gesserit, Saturday, 25 February 2012 19:59 (twelve years ago) link

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

drawn to them like a moth toward a spanakopita (Laurel), Saturday, 25 February 2012 22:32 (twelve years ago) link

good luck laurel!

bene_gesserit, Saturday, 25 February 2012 23:24 (twelve years ago) link

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

the pinefox, Sunday, 26 February 2012 12:10 (twelve years ago) link

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

drawn to them like a moth toward a spanakopita (Laurel), Sunday, 26 February 2012 14:28 (twelve years ago) link

wait, do you mean the chickfactor shows?

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

the pinefox, Sunday, 26 February 2012 15:04 (twelve years ago) link

Pinefox in NYC

the pinefox, Sunday, 26 February 2012 15:06 (twelve years ago) link

Welcome Pinefox. Laurel, how was your date?

Virginia Plain, Sunday, 26 February 2012 15:48 (twelve years ago) link

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

bene_gesserit, Sunday, 26 February 2012 21:17 (twelve years ago) link

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

bene_gesserit, Sunday, 26 February 2012 21:21 (twelve years ago) link

did he release a classic album on 9/11?

the pinefox, Sunday, 26 February 2012 21:45 (twelve years ago) link

why yes

bene_gesserit, Sunday, 26 February 2012 21:53 (twelve years ago) link

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

the pinefox, Sunday, 26 February 2012 21:54 (twelve years ago) link

it was totally bob dylan

bene_gesserit, Sunday, 26 February 2012 21:55 (twelve years ago) link

"OK Computer & Theft"

the pinefox, Sunday, 26 February 2012 22:00 (twelve years ago) link

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

bene_gesserit, Sunday, 26 February 2012 22:06 (twelve years ago) link

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

the pinefox, Sunday, 26 February 2012 22:11 (twelve years ago) link

thanks! nice article.

bene_gesserit, Sunday, 26 February 2012 22:20 (twelve years ago) link

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.

drawn to them like a moth toward a spanakopita (Laurel), Monday, 27 February 2012 01:09 (twelve years ago) link

I completely understand that.

my life is starting over again (Z S), Monday, 27 February 2012 02:47 (twelve years ago) link

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.

drawn to them like a moth toward a spanakopita (Laurel), Monday, 27 February 2012 03:20 (twelve years ago) link

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 :/

Lindsay NAGL (Trayce), Monday, 27 February 2012 03:38 (twelve years ago) link

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.

ljubljana, Monday, 27 February 2012 05:03 (twelve years ago) link

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

Medical Dance Crab With Lesson (Trayce), Thursday, 8 March 2012 05:51 (twelve years ago) link

• 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.

emil.y, Thursday, 8 March 2012 13:25 (twelve years ago) link

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?

this is my receipt for your receipt (Z S), Thursday, 8 March 2012 19:22 (twelve years ago) link

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

using this thing again sorta half-heartedly since the other half of the heart is miles away for a long while.

have a date set up for this week (with an okc newbie!), will report.

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 9 March 2012 23:30 (twelve years ago) link

What does one do for a headline???? Those have always been hard and now that I'm trying again, they're still hard.

Options I can think of:
-Description of self
- What you want (may or may not include "lQQking")
- Wit
- Meta wit ("insert witty headline here!")
- Reference to art, lit, entertainment

HELP?
