I feel slightly less pathetic!

i thought i found love twice. it turns out only one was really love and the other was overzealous lust.

the problem is jon, these guys are never going to jump on the ball. they arent developing the socializing skills needed to attract a partner for love. and if these guys really were after love, they wouldnt be so harsh on females.

I asked my wife out... she said no.

Now I have to stay home and cook her dinner. Well, she's getting left overs!

I am such a loser

its stupid though and doesnt fool anyone. I really believe in their heart of hearts they believe that they deserve the beautiful girls. I know that one of my friends has had several opportunities to not be a virginal geek and he hasnt hopped on it because he doesnt think the girls are hot enough.

THat a mistake if you like the girl and find her attractive at all. Hell not every girl someone dates has to be "the one". You can date people that you know aren't right but if the date can be fun, go for it. At worst its good practice.

Oh and some hot girls do date the bright guys but they tend to be the guys who are smart enough SOCIALLY to actually get them. Not everyone that is good academically is a geek.

exactly, but i think they are also waiting for "the one" because they arent settling for imperfection. its weak sauce. thats part of why i dated dacia, because she was fun in the sack and she was very attractive. looking back it wasnt so bad except for the herpes and the cheating. but ya know what i learned that i shouldnt fall for people so easily or trust them.

Seriously, most people that don't date much shouldn't be looking for the "one" to start anyway. Its better to start dating your real target once you have some confidence in yourself

Beats the hell of out my standard modus operandi: staggering around drunk and hopeing for the best.

dude, boshko, you live in korea and are white. that should be footing enough!

Yeah, I was thinking about The One, but then I said screw it. Whoever she is, she's one of about 3 billion on the blasted planet, and even if I find her I don't need the pressure of going out on a date with my romantic destiny ostensibly hanging on the outcome. The One will show up whenever she wants to, God willing. In the meantime I'm sick of being alone. If this girl from my Archaeology class winds up being The One, great, we'll just improvise as we go along.

However, as I'm one of THOSE people (nods towards icon in the corner of the dorm room), and I won't be drinking, it's not really an issue of wrapping myself up. Thanks for the marvelously blunt advice though.

And yeah, I realize now that it was a stupid thing to say, Az, but looking back on what else I said around that time, that's nothing. I think I may have addressed her as "ma'am" when we said goodbye for some mad reason. I don't know why. She seemed a little nervous too though...at any rate, I'm comfortable enough in her company when the idea of romance is not in the picture that I feel more like laughing at the stupid crap I just said than feeling bad and beating myself up about it. Yay, I'm not a teenager.

What I'm not happy with is that I decided to ask her a few hours before a statistics test, so I entered the room at one today in about the same manic, scatterbrained state I posted that first post up there in. So yeeeeaahh, that's gonna be the one test I drop, I'm thinking. But the self-esteem boost was big enough that I'm still able to laugh about it, perhaps because I know I can drop that test if I did as horribly as I think I did.

You too eh Boshko? I hope it works better for you than it has for me!

I love that line too. Almost sig worthy.

[Gibsie]

Oh yes, and anyone who uses terms like "The One" should be forced to watch more Jet Li movies and less Ally McBeal.

i have a suggestion to make the night go more smoothly. 4 40s, 2 for you, 2 for her.

Meh, I do that for fun. It never even occured to me to try and pick up women while I was at it. I am perfectly aware that I'm not at my most smooth while hammered. So, of course, I'm afraid I'll have to decline your second suggestion as well, MRT.

[MRT144]

ok, one 40, shared by the both of you. it really relieves tension, and you can discuss your favorite beer for like 5 minutes.
