Males and Females

[SkeletonWitch]

I signed up to okcupid and messaged every interesting girl I came across : "what the fuck are you doing on this website?".

 

[damnromulans]

I guess I'm not single now, but I am really picky. I used to say "must weigh under 190 lbs" but porkpal is 6'2 and 230 and I LOVE it.

The "unbearable guilt" factor is subsiding. I decided to be upfront (as upfront as I am capable of, anyway) and tell MP I was seeing someone else via casual mention in a text message. He never commented on it but you can't really miss something like that. We spoke on the phone last night and bullshitted about life and the state of the nation for a while. He sounded like he was doing well and whatnot, and I feel more at peace with things.

Meanwhile porkpal is still awesome aside from having the swine flu or something. Everything is great - we're going to monster trucks this weekend and a chicken wing festival next weekend, and he's bringing me to our state's Black/Latino/Asian Legislative Caucus Weekend to party. It's totally weird to be with someone who is exactly like me, but it's totally effortless and awesome, too.

GO GRANT GO! You and those damn Chinamen.

Porkpal has the swineflu.
Anyone else amused by that?

For the last couple months, my girlfriend has been pmsing harder than ever. I wish I knew why, it's getting fucking unbearable. Otherwise everything's awesome.

Black/Latino/Asian Legislative Caucus

I'm sorry, but,

Not at the notion of the caucus, but the name choice... might as well just say "no whiteys or minorities too small to warrant mention" caucus

 

[damnromulans]

Right? Ironically, porkpal is a dark blond-haired blue-eyed Jew. Last year he was a big hit at the caucus because he brought two white chicks with big butts. I guess I'll have to settle for hearing about my "big fat ass" in the bedroom.

WAIF, do you mean she's been nonstop cranky for 2 months, or just had bad PMS two months consecutively?

I think i just figured out the game this girl's been playing with me.

I'm pretty sure she's interested, but there's always been this pattern with her that i find really confusing: she prefers getting together in a group setting with other guys, yet when we're in that setting she usually finds a way to make some kind of sneaky flirtatious gesture toward me. It always seemed like the biggest pair of mixed signals ever, but it didn't occur to me until now that it may be her preferred testing ground, and that she's hoping i learn to flirt "properly" with physical contact, clever timing, etc. Maybe joining her in this sneaky flirting game is my best shot at getting with her.

That's the difficulty of being INT in the dating game. You cannot merely respond on the fly properly. You need someone to give you the time to collect a substancial amount of information to analyze and form an appropriate plan of action.

Grant, you may be overanalyzing this a little bit.

No it's not you fucking rook. GROW A PAIR AND ASK HER OUT!

Hey, i thought i had a pretty spiffy theory.

 

[Episteme]

I'd say that you really should just ask her out.

 

[King Richard]

Hey, i thought i had a pretty spiffy theory.

Right. And how many times have you been laid by coming up with spiffy theories?

 

[Stereo]

This.

 

[King Richard]

^Shut up, no one listens to you anymore.

 

[Episteme]

No one listens to me either

Oh dear, guess I'll go cry into my breakfast cereal

 

[damnromulans]

Grant, she sounds really shy and might get scared if you come on too strong. Definitely ask her out, but you know, do so in a way that seems like just hanging out vs a Big Date. Also, culturally Asian chicks like being bought stuff.

 

[Zephyrus]

Do what I did, ask her to see a movie. Don't phrase it as a date, then assess the situation as it happens.

 

[Vimana]

It's a great strategy that I've used before with success. Discussing a movie you've just seen with a woman is a good way to gauge dateability. It's by no means definitive, but if the conversation isn't the least bit interesting, then it's probably not a good sign.
