Your screen name is quite fitting an oddly high amount of the time.

He was kicking her out of the Fellowship of The Ring - not breaking up with her.

Huh, I thought I knew what the fuck you were talking about before, but now I realize I never did. You, sir, fail at English.

Also, what do you have against the quote button?

He’s using this thread to test out a new posting style. I don’t think it’s working.

It didn’t seem appropriate to answer a simple yes/no question with a whole lot of duplicated text. I can remedy that if the prevailing opinion is different.

You’re referring people who posted like a sentence, though. I’d rather have a one line block of recurring text than to scroll up a page or two to figure out what the hell you’re talking about.

For that matter, I’d rather have almost any size block of text than to have to scroll up.

Pretty much this. All that was missing was the laugh track and a wah waaah (sad trombone) sound every time I thought I’d found it but hadn’t.

Normally I put a new phone number in two places: my cell phone contacts list and a text file on my PC. Since I suspected the contacts list version to be wrong, I checked the text file. It wasn’t there. I checked the few e-mails we’d sent on the dating site. Nothing there, either. I finally remembered he had given me the number in an IM chat. The IM client does not log conversations, so the number was lost to the ether(net).

I had a brief “A-ha!” moment (not to be confused with the band) when I realized his number would be in my call history, since he called just as we met on Tuesday (the cafe is L-shaped and we had taken up at tables on opposite ends, so he called and when my phone started ringing, came over and introduced himself). But his number wasn’t in my call history anymore. I had deleted it because it was in my contacts list. Too clever by half for my own good.

I thought of checking canada411.ca but it doesn’t list cell numbers, AFAIK.

Cue the laugh track when I glanced down at the notepad on my computer desk with his name and number carefully printed on it. It had been sitting there silently mocking me the entire time. It was the same as the one in my contacts list, which made me think I had goofed in thinking I had gotten the number wrong to begin with. Which I had. Goofed, that is. My only defense is the voicemail voice was Very Serious and in-person he was completely different.

Anyway, he is calling me early Sunday so we can decide where to go. As far as I’m concerned, the whole phone number thing never happened!

T-Mobile lets me download a list of all the numbers I’ve called and have called me anytime I want. Do not all providers have this? Or is his number private/blocked?

Is he a super secret agent??

I went out with a girl tonight who is 6’2"! With heels my height. Massively tall.

Didn’t you just say a few pages ago you weren’t dating for awhile? So you were taking what? a 45 minute break from dating?

Though to be fair, that WAS a whole 2 days ago.

I knowwwwwwww. I can’t help myself. One more date
tomorrow and I’m done. Serious this time.

Three days! Who took the under?

Dating is such Feast Or Famine. Go for a couple weeks without landing a date, then suddenly you have a date every afternoon for five days in a row…

… or at least, offers thereof. The one girl who went on a rant about Obamacare, well, I didn’t have the energy at the time to make fun of her, so I sent her a gentle rebuttal/correction and she called me a pinko fag and retracted the offer of a date.

Oh well. No great loss there!

I knowwwwwwww. I can’t help myself. One more date
tomorrow and I’m done. Serious this time.

Maybe this time you’ll find that committed relationship that keeps eluding you somehow.

Well, this thread took a turn for the STOP BEING TOSSERS

Salut, Balut! I have had many a chuckle over this. You are a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy!

It’s freaking me out how much that guy looks like Drew Curtis.

I thought it was Paul Scheer from Human Giant.

this is considered famine? sounds more like considering skipping breakfast, but then getting some food in on the way to work anyway.
