going on a date in the suburbs sounds like fun. i'll come pick you up around 7, we'll go to the mall, get dinner and drinks at ruby tuesday's, walk around and go to some stores, finish up with a late night horror movie at the 'plex.

that's pretty much how my last date in the 'burbs went from start to just about the finish.

i can't really think of any alternatives ... head to a friend's place, my place, your place, maybe go to a park that's 1/1000000th the size of anything in the city ... go on a hike, go to the city. that's about it. i'm bored just thinking about it. i need to move back to the city.

It feels so perversely appropriate that maybe the best new match I've seen this year is also "oh btw, I don't actually live in city I'm listed under but another one 4 hours away]."

I found my fave OkCupid person so far and then I saw her at a gig the next night! No contact by either means, which left me feeling a bit creepy even though I DID NOTHING WRONG. :'(. It's been four months since I registered and I still haven't filled out my profile, I'll do it soon when I'm less busy, I really will.
― Fanois och Alexander (Merdeyeux), Tuesday, 11 June 2013 01:12 (ten years ago) link
I've had mine for like a year and STILL haven't filled out the essays, though I've answered many questions. But I will, really I will, too. I've been not interested in going on any dates the last couple months, so it's working out.

I support that decision. Also taking the horoscope seriously.

It's just an ugh cause I'd feel like a creep reaching out through OKC when there's a notionally high chance we'd come across each other irl by happenstance--only, of course, we haven't yet.
― steening in your HOOSless carriage (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Tuesday, 11 June 2013 18:47 (ten years ago) link
yeah, this is a crazy minefield imo - i've approached and been approached by a couple girls i knew in real life who came up as high okc matches, and it's been wicked awkward every time (even if the context of the approaching is "ha how crazy")

my dude just proposed to a girl he met via instagram
they were both following each other (because of mutual friends) and she just took it to him in the comments one day and asked him out on a double date

I believe that when two people join in a relationship that they can become one, and are both equal. I know that these are just words for now, but maybe someday I can prove them to you. I love playing racquetball, softball and I run.
Something Smoove-esque about this.

I gave up. I don't even like any of my matches anymore. Dating in any fashion is a lot of PITA.

I had utterly given up on OKC but got messaged the other night by someone I have mutual friends with (but havent met) and he seems like a dece fellow. Gonna meet up with him on the weekend. I'm not sure I'm in the headspace to be dating right now, but hey I cant let that shut me off from experience.
