Advice?

[Joe Wordsworth]

What an outstanding verb, Joe! I love it!

I dig it. It's the only relationship advice I ever give to people I know. You'd be suprised just how often "nut-up" is right in the ballpark of the problem. Fear, doubt, insecurity, dishonesty, immaturity, being reckless... it covers a lot of ground.

Hey, this is pretty ballsy for me. Usually it takes me at least a year to even consider asking out a girl out, then another year to actually muster up the courage to actually do it. By that time I've gotten myself squarely into "The Friend Zone" with no way out. I'll be damned if I let it happen again!

ETA, I had to come to school for a seminar, so I got to spend an hour in the lab today. Still no return e-mail or phone call from her though. I'm not worried, I know she'll get back to me.

You told her about the gummi bears, didn't you?

 

[Trombonus]

You told her about the gummi bears, didn't you?

oops.

 

[MagicaPractica]

oops.

They're all gone, aren't they?

 

[Trombonus]

They're all gone, aren't they?

Not yet, but I only anticipate them lasting another day or so. They're so good!

 

[MagicaPractica]

Hmmm, okay. This could go one of two ways here. One, leave another message telling her you'll share but she'd better hurry because you're running out. (This could actually be cute.) Two, it's a good thing you didn't offer her any.

I like the sharing idea.

Dating protocol requires you hold off on the Transformers quiz until the third date.

 

[Trombonus]

So, she wrote a very quick e-mail yesterday to tell me that she was not a phone person and that I "probably" wouldn't be hearing from her again.

In other words, she's not interested. Figures.

 

[jomar]

Sorry, Trom. You'll find your someone.

 

[Roxanne Appleby]

"not a phone person"

My suspicious mind goes into high-alert. I think your erstwhile potential girlfriend has a dick.

My sympathy for your disappointment, trom.

Dude......


Beer's on me man.

 

[Trombonus]

These were her exact words:

Oh gosh, I'm afraid I'm not really a phone person. I'm actually kind of phone phobic. So you probably won't be hearing from me, I'm sorry.

It was really nice talking to you, though.

I just wish people could be a little more honest. If you aren't interested then tell me so. Don't leave me alone to wonder for a week then come up with something like that.

I'm really sorry to hear that, Trombonus, but it happens. Remember that some people on dating sites practice catch-and-release.

I spent a couple months on dating websites back in 2000. I had, oh, a dozen or so "no responses", a few I chatted with online but it never went any further, and one that I really seemed to like. We chatted with long emails, then talked on the phone a bunch. We started dating. I married her.

Thanks. I'm sure it'll all work out eventually, but right now I'm pretty down-hearted. Still, I shall not give up that easily.

That's the spirit. It hurts now but you will find "her" in time.

If you can, find the episode of "How I met your mother" about the slutty pumpkin. It'll make you laugh and the sting will subside while you laugh.

Good for you. *HUGS*

Love that show! Watch it Trom, you'll like it!

You'll find someone when you least expect it. Don't give up hope, she's out there.

A year is too long. Another year is almost a whole 'nother year too long. You gotta play a faster field, hoss.

Dude, Imp quote... "Her loss!"


I totally agree. Look, don't get down on you. We like you here and we got some pretty damn good taste around this place.

ok, another Imp quote. Mind you, she is going to get spanked in a second because I can call her a hick but she can't call her a hick, ya know?

"There's a 45 year old appalachian hick that would go out with him in a heartbeat."

Imp has exquisite taste, current mistake excepted. If she would go out with you, you rock. Just sayin' dude.

I agree, it's one of my new year's resolutions.

Thanks guys.

I still haven't heard anything from her, nor do I expect to. Tried contacting some other people and haven't heard back from any of them either. I'm not worried at the moment. I was pretty upset Sunday, but this has been a crazy week for us at school, and a lot of fun too. I talk to my master teacher and his assistant about it (especially the assistant because apparently she was me up until recently), and also my good friend, but my students always manage to cheer me up. lol, who else can I play Pokemon with?

Yeah, well the year isn't new anymore... get crackin'!
