The Dating Thread

I wish. I don't think it's that way any more. Basically every single female my age group I've known is more into hip-hop and party music and could care less that I play guitar. How long ago was this for you?

btw, I'm hoping she remembers exactly what she said. How much alcohol until people start to forget stuff? She was tipsy but not near passing out level drunk. Probably next time I hang out with her I'll ask like, "I would keep it shaved if you really liked me, otherwise I'm just going to let it grow out again." And if she says "do what you want" or whatever, then I'm moving on- to find someone who can appreciate my guitar playing and beard. 

You should have never shaved it off to begin with. It's one thing if you decide to do something because you want to do it but it's a different matter entirely when you're doing it because someone mentions, in passing and being tipsy, that you would look better without it. I think one problem you're having is you're coming across as desperate and women definitely find this a turn-off.

Greg, why not call a callgirl? If you can't have love, you can get some loving at least. And who cares about love anyway? Does it exist at all?

I consider this myself. Probably won't do it, but I consider it.

This is a disappointing post from you, Henk. Love exists whether you believe in it or not. Is your soul shrouded in darkness? Do you not feel anything for anyone?

1- Because it's illegal in the US; 2- I'd rather my first time be someone I'm in love with. If I never find anything in like 10 years, eventually I may have to resort to that by visiting another country where it's not illegal. Better than nothing, but not my first choice.

And until then... better practice my lucid dreaming skills more.

Not quite in passing, elaborating on her preferences and such. Other than that, I'm definitely not coming across as desperate. Actually, I'm trying not to appear too cold. She's a really affectionate person- can't remember how many times she hugged me.

And that's what I like about her. I'm starting to realize a pattern- I'm really attracted to the fun, bubbly, affectionate type. Probably a way to explain that is that it seems the most girly to me, and more girly = more attractive IMO.

(Not sure if I mentioned it or not, but when I went out with her Saturday, it wasn't a date- we were alone for a long time, but I brought another cute girl from work to chill with us for a while.)

I think it's a matter of whether anyone feels love for him.

Why don't you ask this woman out then? What's holding you back? If you like her, go for it.

That's the plan, dear friend. 
Likely on Monday I'll ask, my next day off. She kept saying she wants to hang out again and doesn't care where we go. So regardless, even if we're just going to be friends, I'll be having plenty of cute girly hugs in the future. HAHAHA

Great! Well, have dinner with her and don't try too hard. Just be yourself. Good luck, Greg.

As for my own pathetic love life, it's rather nonexistent at this point. I'm going to quit looking perhaps this is when the woman I'm meant to be with will appear? It's worth a shot.

Thanks. And will do.

Oh boy. Good luck with that.

I feel a lot for any girl. I would like to call it love, but be realistic John.. I can feel love, but I think it's always one direction. And it's a general thing. If someone feels "love" or feels that the other one "sweet", the other one doesn't feel it. So love is just a word. It's just desire what one feels, if two people "love each other" one desires the other, the other one is desired. That's what is called "love".

[Henk]

My life is already finished. I already have had my peaks. There's no real goal anymore. That's rather a bit depressing feeling. I also can't bring it up to set a new goal.

I can "live further only to acquire a better and better knowledge" as Nietzsche writes in his aphorism "For calming". I need to grow accustomed to that idea.

[Henk]

I live a lonely life. That's fine with me. I never come into contact with girls.

If I walk around in the city and have a tough expression on my face (I'm on some state of mind then), sometimes when a girl passes she smiles. She thinks it's funny. Women however get afraid.

That's my only pleasure with girls. They only pass by however. Sometimes it get's playfull, in an extraordinary way, but just shortly, and accidentaly.

To be short, I'm too eccentric. My profile and character doesn't work in our culture. Girls feel immediately.

[Henk]

Just deleted a text about my life. Needed to express some things. Done that and decided to delete it again.

I know that feeling now that I quit gaming...
playing a couple of MMORPG's distracted me for about a year. So many goals, fun, and learning and quit before I even did a fraction of what I wanted to do. Might be worth considering, since you do have plenty of time.

Maybe, Greg, there lies a lot of fun for me with many girls in the nearby future. There must be, it hardly can be not. That's pretty much the only expectation that keeps me healthy and alive.

It happens now. But I admit that I tend to play in places where folks like off-the-wall music, such as coffeehouses (non-corporate, although a few Starbucks have had some good live music).

(Shakes head) Love is not just word, Henk. Love is one of the most powerful things on this planet. Without it, there would be nothing good happening. Your life may seem bleak (for now), but don't give up. Never give up. She's out there and even if she isn't, this doesn't mean love has no meaning. There are many facets to this ever-evolving force of nature.

And then Mr. Sunshine showed up!!

Quoting Neechee is just a stone's throw from quoting St. Paul,... all that "acceptance",... brrrrrrrr,...



I'm pretty deflated about all this myself,... now it's Friday night... AGAIN!! ... I can practically hear the sound of new born lovers mocking me,... AAAHHHH,... ,... that's something that must be quashed. 0:)




oh noes!... not the tears of self pity ,... no, not that ,... I ...I ... ... no, not tonight


Once More Into the Breach!!

(Shakes head) Love is not just word, Henk.

No, love isn't just a word. Love is just a four-letter-word.
