Hey all, haven’t been on here in a while so I have a few updates!

Sex columnist: Friendzoned at the end of the 2nd date. She just wasn’t ready for a relationship of any sort and just wanted to be friends. That’s cool with me though, since we get along pretty well.

Marine biologist grad student: Had a 2nd date with her on Wednesday. That’s so far been pretty fun and successful. I’m sure a 3rd date will be happening pretty soon. She’s pretty interesting, loves the outdoors and just get along overall very well.

Art grad student: First date will be tonight. She seems pretty laid back which is kinda nice, but she did say that she was a lesbian up until a few months ago (she has been with a guy though) so I guess I have some sort of inherent straight male requirement to live up to by converting her to heterosexuality (or at least bisexuality?) by use of only my penis. She also watches more Star Trek than I do (!!!)

That’s all for now. I’ll probably update again on Sunday.

3203

For all I know the girl I’m dating wanted me to have wild monkey sex with her two months ago, I never noticed

If you’ve been dating her for 2 months and it’s clearly a romantic relationship, yes, she wants you to.

Is it the time of year? Something in the air? Secret code that has been inserted into my profiles that I cannot see but others can? Yet another closet case has hit me up, this time on POF. What’s interesting is this has happened now on three different sites and my profile on each site is unique.

The latest is from a 25 year old guy seeking “a woman” according to his profile. Thus spake Mr. Curious:

A few minutes later he followed up to an imaginary reply with:

so what do u think coffee

I’m thinking no. NO NO NO. Also: negative there, good buddy.

3206

Coffee is an odd pet name, let alone for someone you haven’t met.

3207

At least he didn’t want to know what part of a van I was.

3208

Valentine’s Day, dude. It’s crazytown.

3209

I never even thought of that, this probably is a good time of year to pick up women who don’t want to be dateless on V-day isn’t it?

Mmmm, the sweet sweet smell of desperation. It’'s the most powerful aphrodisiac known to man.

3210

Prior to meeting the lawyer, I was considering posting a tongue in cheek ad on CL with the headline “You don’t want to be alone on Valentine’s Day”. It probably would’ve been in poor taste though.

3211

It’s not clearly a romantic relationship.

3212

I originally had two dates set up for today. Karaoke Guy (who was blathered on about in the “I’m Drunk” thread) has been sick all week, though, so he had to bow out for tonight.

The other one is Theatre Guy from OkCupid, who has been rather impatient to meet me. His persistence was starting to alarm me a little, so I am glad that we are meeting up here in the city, rather than in Sausalito. He’s cute, but I’m not sure how well he and I will do together. He doesn’t seem to be as cerebral as the guys that I am generally attracted to.

Original plans were to go to the de Young museum and the Academy of Sciences with Theatre Guy, and then to a play this evening with Karaoke Guy. Instead, Theatre Guy and I are going to the play this evening.

This could get interesting, that’s for sure. Despite his proclamations that we shouldn’t date each other seriously at the moment, Karaoke Guy is getting a little jealous that I am dating other guys in addition to him. I’ve told him, nicely, that he needs to suck it up and deal with it.

3213

I read somewhere that a lot of single women go trolling for one night stands on VDay. The article was written by a woman and had tons of anecdotes, so it must be accurate! OTOH, I think it was in Maxim, which I now get thanks to some gaming mag going under again (EGM?).

3214

I’m down with a bad case of the lonely. As such, I’m giving That Internet Dating Thing a whirl.

Question for folks on OKCupid:
How did you come up with your answer to ‘The most private thing I’m willing to admit here’ and ‘The first things people usually notice about me’?

I can’t seem to write anything that isn’t overly invasive or overly sarcastic.

3215

Most private thing: relate some embarrassing-but-not-really story from high school. Something that falls into the “Well, I suppose I look back on it now and laugh…” category.

First things people notice: If you don’t have some easily and obviously distinguishable feature (taller than 6’4", shaped like an onion, you habitually wear an opera cape), say something about people usually noticing your intimidating demeanor, gravelly voice, and tendency to dress in all black. Then go “Oh crap, that’s not me, that’s Batman. Maybe you can tell me the first thing you notice about me” - humor is always a good attention-getter.

3216

If it makes you feel better my old boss was Tom Cruise or shorter and had a string of insanely amazing ex-wives and girlfriends. Dude was a womaniser of note, so yeah, height doesn’t have to be an issue.

3217

Oooh… hey if I start doing this, do I have to pay you royalties or anything?

3218

I think it means he can claim jus primae noctis.

3219

It’s not clearly a romantic relationship.

No, it could be. Some girls are really bad at initiating and if the guy is bad as well, it can take a long time to finally happen even though they both really like each other.

3220

I said the first thing people notice about me is the book I’m always carrying. 'cause I am.
