If her plan was to pick out 2 or 3 good episodes a year and guide you through them, this sounds promising
If she thought you should work your way through every episode from every year including 2008, I'd be wary; maybe specify in yr profile next time

Is it usual to hug when you meet for a first date? I thought a handshake was standard?
― Je55e, Thursday, 14 February 2013 15:41 (eleven years ago) link
depends how awkward you think the one-armed friend side hug is
― mh, Thursday, 14 February 2013 15:51 (eleven years ago) link
They ought to be letting you know in advance if they're one-armed tbf

To clarify, I am not normally a person who hugs people upon meeting them under any circumstances, but The Internet led me to believe that this was standard practice for first dates.

I feel like I've gotten a fair number of first date hugs (e.g. the other night). I don't mind it but I can't imagine ever independently initiating it.

I hate it when people hug me on the first meeting. I don't know you. We are not buddies. I think a handshake is totes appropriate.
Then again I am also an ice-hearted robot but w/e.

lol yeah
I'm a little wary of leaning on pop psychology as much as he does since it can be a little overdeterminative/self-justifying
but I've been saying this for years:
The point of those jokes, though, is I just think it’s sad that the main places in our culture that we designate to meet new people are bars and nightclubs.

Well, that’s not a really strong pitch, “Come cook food with me and do nothing.” Maybe that’s my problem.

This is pretty much much all I'm looking for. I kind of think there's an impulse to be all "'On a typical Friday night I'm' at a bar partying spring break whooo!" such that wanting to stay at home and cook seems o_0
Or maybe not.
― formerly EDB (ed.b), Friday, 15 February 2013 15:31 (eleven years ago) link
It will seem o_0 to people you aren't compatible with, but why worry about what those people find o_0? The trick is finding the people who are simpatico and :D with the things that you dig and vice versa.

Why do I attract the conservatives?? They make up the majority of those who have contacted me or 5-starred me. My quiz answers make it very clear that I'm averse to their sort. Maybe they're trolling me.
Besides conservatism, the guy who 5-starred me last night had these attributes:
- Thinks fat people are gross and that fat is a sign of a weak character- Talks a big game re KIP!! and ACCEPTANCE - NO BISEXUALS EVER EWWWWWWW KILL KILL KILL- Believes that a man who is into porn doesn't need a boyfriend- Believes that a person w/ a mental illness is "not ready for the responsibilities of a relationship."

I wouldn't have spent 10 seconds reading about him, except that he 5-starred me. Me, a man w/ some fat parts and a fondness for abortion.
