That Internet dating thing

[WarrenM]

I think if the decision was totally mine it would still be a deal breaker, however, I ask Ms. Super if she is ok and if she says she is good, then I am good.

Another thing is that we are both pleasers. So we really like making the other person feel super special and basically please the other person.

Soo even though it isnt totally perfect for her, she still has a good time. At least that is what she has lead me to believe.

Anyone else hearing the Jaws theme in the back of their mind?

So, on Flaghost… Fellghast… Feinbrogh… Damien’s advice, I signed up for the local kickball league and we had our orientation/pickup game/mixer thing tonight. Tons of fun, good lord my feet hurt. Note to self - get proper shoes. Kicking is great in Chucks. Running is not.

Damien was totally right, there is almost no such thing as an unattractive woman who plays kickball. And while the majority of them were married, good lord they’re all friendly. And huggy. This is awesome.

Note to self the second - when asked “So what got you into kickball?” a response of “Well, I’m starting to try and be social again after a long year of mostly being a shut-in after a bad breakup. sigh” - oh my god, it’s like the Konami Code for “Aww… let’s have another beer.”

I’m so awesome.

[Pogo]

You, sir, are awesome.

Just be sure you don’t talk to them about Konami Codes unless they actually appreciate geekery. That’s a Konami Code for game over, man!

Fellghast is the best name ever. And nice work!

And now comes a dating site for book nerds! Terrible interface, but probably a lot less Twilight reading females here than on OK Cupid.

That is a rather early ‘share.’ Beware, for you are toying with powers beyond your control!

Oh, I don’t go into detail or anything. But I figure honesty’s always a good policy, and it gives me a good excuse for the occasional social awkwardness.

[Damien_Falgoust]

Still, I’d avoid the use of phrases like “shut in” or anything that implies you weren’t social to begin with. It’s plenty to say you’re getting past a bad breakup and needed to make some new friends.

Just finished something right out of some kind of advanced Internet dating cliche story generator. Though it was actually really, really fun.

1. Contact the most beautiful girl you can find on OKCupid.

2. Convince her to go out with you to talk about her wish to become a model, and also general stuff.

3. Talk about how you could do a photoshoot for her at your place.

4. Set up a photoshoot. Go buy a digital SLR camera at the last minute, as well and flowers and champagne.

5. Put on some cool music on Pandora radio, like Kanye West and such. Start photo shoot. Act like Austin Powers. Champagne flows freely, cool music on, outfit changes become more and more revealing, until it’s very fun!

I think a Nikon D5000 is the new hot tub.

Seriously though, I need to figure out this camera. It’s pretty cool.

[ABailey]

That girl is dumb. And you are a creepy douchebag.

[ElGuapo]

Ha ha. Really, what was creepy about it? We both had a fantastic time. In fact we are going Maserati shopping today. Ridiculous? Quite yes. Creepy? Not in the least.

(she also has two masters degrees. Newsflash: sometimes people like to let go and have fun. There are whole entertainment industries built around this concept). ;)

[ABailey]

People have PhDs and are still stupid. This girl went on one date with you and decided it was smart to 1) go over to your place for a photoshoot and b) drink while doing so. But you’re just a kindly photographer who wants to help out, right? Nevermind you had to run out at the last second to buy a camera.

[Anders_Hallin]

Sounds like fun times, though I would have dumped you for having a D5000 and probably only the kit lenses >:(

Fun. Other people are having it. They must be doing something wrong!

[Pogo]

Yeah I don’t even believe that story.

It sounds creepy because you worded it in a fashion that makes it sound like you planned on getting laid by pretending to give a shit about her modelling and pretending you were a photographer.

Knowing you (which I don’t, really, but you get what I mean) I suspect it’s just how you wrote it and it wasn’t anything like that.

[Bahimiron]

The “I can see your panty line” line (which I see has been edited out) didn’t help. I’m sure it’s a good line, though. Worked for Roman Polanski, right?

Knowing him, it’s likely significantly worse than it sounds.

[JM1]

Oh. I didn’t realise you two guys knew each other. Kind of an odd friendship, isn’t it? The playboy and the misanthrope?
