> [@Procrustus](#): > > That’s a great question. Personally, I don’t doubt your story. However, one could post this question if one were a guy who was thinking about cruising around town giving his number to joggers, and wanted some feedback in advance about how said joggers may react to this unusual type of pick up attempt. > > I’ve never understood why someone would pretend to be a paralyzed teenage girl, but we had one of those here once. Oh really? Some people have too much time on their hands. Anyways, my story might sound unusual or not believable but it is real. I just didn’t like other users accusing me for making it up when they don’t have the evidence to back it up. ---

Mary, why don’t you ask him to give you something while you are jogging? ---

I just didn’t like other users accusing me for making it up when they don’t have the evidence to back it up. We also have no evidence that its credible - you’re asking for advice, you’re openly ignoring it, you’re basically blogging your interactions - and you’re getting attention (which is why you keep bumping this). Enjoy your 15 minutes. ---

> [@j666](#): > > There are ten spaces here , and a space between e a c h l e t t e r h e r e. So extra space will only show up before punctuation marks. The board doesn’t remove the spaces, it’s just that web browsers ignore whitespace (like tabs, spaces, carriage returns) and turn them into a single space. It’s why you need to add paragraph tags to get a new paragraph in HTML. If you View Source on this page you can see that the 10 spaces are still there (or Quote this message and you’ll see them). ---

This dude probably does this 30 times a week, gets contact from 6 or 7 girls, and sends dirty messages to weed out the prudes quickly. I’m betting he gets 1 or 2 girls willing to fuck a week. Numbers game, folks. ---

> [@Marylnshephards](#): > > …my story might sound unusual or not believable but it is real. You keep saying that but you still haven’t explained what you find so “unusual” about your particular story. Near as I can tell, you were outside and someone else who also happened to be outside, within shouting distance, stopped you and gave you his number. You took the bait and called. Turns out he wants to have sex with you. Now you’re just waffling and negotiating the details. When does the “unusual” part of the story begin? What’s not believable is that anyone would find any of this unusual. Hence, our reluctance to believe what is otherwise so completely mundane. ---

To the OP. Please keep posting updates. Curious to see how your first real face to face meeting and date goes. Will he show up with flowers? Will he sweep you off your feet with his charm? Can he put together a fun evening you will enjoy? Also, back when I was dating I know one of the big issues for the girl was “what should I wear”? Are you dealing with that? ---

Are you dealing with that? I’ve never noticed your capacity for sublime humour in any of your previous posts, **Urbanredneck**. Is this is a whole new side of you we’re seeing? If so, I must say it’s pleasant and welcome surprise. ---
