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

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.

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
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 19 March 2012 08:44 (twelve years ago) link
lol when I see "that happened" I jump to assuming that it's an admission that more happened than was expected
― mh, Monday, 19 March 2012 13:19 (twelve years ago) link
There might have been some unrepentant smooching in full view of a bar half-full of people. Which actually IS more than I expected.

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

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

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

someone's screen name is a reference to salinger's catcher in the rye. somehow this turns me off. am i being unfair?
― rayuela, Friday, 23 March 2012 20:23 (twelve years ago) link
nope
― Lil T the Bowed Jet (forksclovetofu), Friday, 23 March 2012 20:31 (twelve years ago) link
Not if they are over 25.
― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Friday, 23 March 2012 20:37 (twelve years ago) link
They are 44. Haha.
― rayuela, Friday, 23 March 2012 20:41 (twelve years ago) link
I'd have to know what exact screen name they chose before I could weigh in on this topic. As for now, I would not immediately disqualify him.
― Virginia Plain, Friday, 23 March 2012 22:10 (twelve years ago) link
you are generous vp! the screen name is a combo of the title & the name of a character in the book, but i have already decided against him. :/
― rayuela, Saturday, 24 March 2012 21:13 (twelve years ago) link
btw daters remember I said [here] that we should have a NYC FAP?
Thursday April 5th any good?

Hm maybe but there's a conflicting event on 4/5 for some people, involving a movie screening at BAM and an appearance of Chris Eigeman.

If their screen name is "Fuck You," marry them.

just when i think i'm out, i see a blonde ex journalist who wears plaid skirts to punk shows that pulls me back in

I have a third date today! With the same person. I think this is going fairly well

He is completely stupidly cute, the dimples are weapons-grade, I don't even know what to do.
― how did I get here? why am I in the whiskey aisle? this is all so (Laurel), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 14:35 (twelve years ago) link
Do you just sit there while he is talking and think
DIMPLES
― mh, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 14:36 (twelve years ago) link
Yes, he sounds like the teachers in Charlie Brown cartoons, I have to store what he's saying for later retrieval because I can't hear a word.

alright, i guess this site really did work for me after all (paired with a confluence of other factors/coincidences).

such begrudging acknowledgement, heh
congrats!

What, everyone's getting lucky all of a sudden? What is this, the gay thread?
An environmental activist called me "Dimples" on the street the other day, when I refused to stop to sign her petition . . . maybe I should market myself to the dimple-loving population?
Congrats Laurel & b_g!

heh, i met my current guy on okc! (it was over a year before we saw each other again, but still) - this thing worked after all

I'm not sure that congrats are in order, I can't tell what's happening from one date to another! Part of that is some oddities about him and part is some neuroses about me but it's not a bad thing. It's been good.
