I'm going on a date

[Lancer]

I once got turned off a very pretty girl because while having chat an errant bit of spittle on her lip formed a mucas bridge to her other lip and it stretched and contracted as she talked.

The horror of it stays with me...

Pekka, you never can tell wtf is going to happen. Just remember, 'nothing ventured, no nightmares'.

[Provost Harrison]

Please tell me you didn't talk about SuzieQ...please

[Inverse Icarus]

you don't have to like them to **** them, you know.

"you didn't love some of the people you had sex with, right?"
"some of them i downright loathed."

Definite grounds for not seeing her again.

USA!

Next time get her in an arm bar.

Now that's what I like...a socially conscious woman with a brain....

[Elok]

I don't know that hating America and standing up for lil' furry animals automatically makes a woman socially conscious and intelligent. It might also make her an intolerably sanctimonious wench. And if she steered the conversation towards heavy stuff like that on a first date, despite Pekka's reluctance, well, that doesn't seem like a good sign.

[Sprayber]

It's not exactly a good sign to be talking about things like that on the first date. I mean ideally it should be about the two of you and not US foreign policy mistakes. I would say that if you really wanted to, give her another go and see if it gets any better. But of course you shouldn't take my or anyone here's advice, do what you think feels right

BTW, my current gf isn't too happy with Bush either but I didnt find out to a lot later since we had other things to talk about and do

[Pekka]

Ted, yeah.. I was about to slap a triangle choke, and really teach this stupid girlie not to mess with the USA. But I had some control over myself.

PH, oh yeah you'd love it. I bet the first thing would be 'hey, you didn't use the bus to get here you bastard nature killer!'..

Elok, yeah definitely I didn't take the conversation here. She talked so much about it, I didn't even bother to get into it. It started from pretty much me asking what she likes to do and she said she's active person in some issues and I asked what issues and there were the animals, and then she went on talking about how there are this and that happening and I was like 'that sounds pretty bad' and nodding, and then it came my turn to talk about me and I told that part of my family lives in the US and well.. there we were again about destroying the world and look who the true terrorist is and who has killed most people in the history of mankind. It was pathetic crap, I mean, there are some good arguments and debates, but she used all the crappy ones that made me think she's only follower, not thinker in this issue. I mean, if she had really good arguments about it and clearly thinking about it as a big picture.. then I'd respect her for that and consider debating with my puny arguments, but hey it was mostly senseless anti-US crap and I got tired of that too.

But she realized it wasn't a good idea to talk about that after while so we then concentrated other things fortunately and found she's not so bad after all, but we have big differencies and even if opposites attract each other, I think this wouldn't be the case.

Plus after the talk about how US is just as bad as terrorists, she went on cogratulating our wonderful system where everyone is cared after, which is BS, no one cares about nothing that's a fact and you can take it to the bank, so you know...... idealistic, but not very realistic. It doesn't attract me, and I guess if I had revealed what I think about the issues she would have hated me too, so it would have ended up with us rolling all over the tables she strangling me and me eyegauging the crap out of her and coffee cups and danish treats flying in the air.

[Pekka]

Sprayber, I could deal with a girl who doesn't like the US, or a person who wants to defend animal rights. No problem, but I don't want them both in the same packet with some follower arguments. For all I know, she could be a commie.

But just that there is no confusion, these parts didn't dominate the date, just started out like that little rusty. Plus she really was nice other than that and sweet, but .. we were not meant to each other.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Right. You're another name on the ever-growing list of Poly metrosexuals.

[Pekka]

what is a metrosexual?

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Someone who doesn't pork his date because he feels they haven't connected at an emotional level of sufficient depth.

[Hueij]

But what if you don't have an emotional level of sufficient depth, like Pekka?

j/k

[Bereta_Eder]

Any way live and learn Pekka She found you interesting enough to go out with you never mind what'd happen next.
