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

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.

yeah bin Laden was beating them off with a stick. well, beating them.

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.

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?

Jesse I will help when I am not out at a club with an okc date

^^^fp'd

Oh shit my beautiful photo didn't post. It was from The Exorcist, Regan's abdomen w/ HELP ME scrawled on it.

Forks I hope your date quoted 4Chan memes to you all night.

I deleted mine last Sunday, just couldn't face it. Feels mostly good.

um, it went well and i was serious? did you want help?

Oh haha. Sure!

It's depressing when I email someone and they write back noncommittally with no questions or interest in me or further conversation. Like, "I'm too polite to ignore you, but let's just end this right now like adults, okay?"

How can they not like me? They don't even know me! Usually it takes at least a few meetings for people to get to that stage.

Had an account since end of last year -- half filled (has all the info I think I wanted to give) w/one B&W picture. Wrote in bursts -- 2-3 lines on any profiles of interest, and wrote to quite a few.

Went on a cpl of dates -- first one: really cool, met several times and we seem to be fairly good friends.

The other was quite remarkable -- talked for four hours, which went by in a blaze (couldn't believe my watch). Even more amazing that we never talked about anything movies or book or music related (talked quite a bit abut football tho'). We were keen on seeing one another but that had to wait for a week due to a trip (ws told about it before the date). Texted afterwards anyway to get in touch. Get a reply a week later then reply back to schedule...*tumbleweeds*

Since then I haven't got back on the site, w/other things having taken my time too.

Anyway a bit of a rollercoaster but in the end quite good. If it wasn't for this thread I'd never have thought about it.

Jesse, what's a headline? I wasn't aware that OKC had some sort of a calling card line.

Oh, I guess OKC doesn't have a headline. I was working on a profile a different site, which does have headlines.

guess you could consider the self-summary a bit of a headline ...

Ugh the whole profile thing is just so daunting and makes me wish that if I'm going to die alone I would just hurry up and do it.

i need to figure out a way to bring up the "are we seeing other people or just each other or what" thing with someone in the least awkward way possible. help.

(i honestly will not be devastated if the answer goes one way or another but and just curious because this person is about to go away for a few weeks)

^ no need to ask this question imo

i feel like not asking could possibly lead to misunderstanding and heartache. what is your reasoning?
