I just got back from visiting my wife in Missouri. Soon I will be moving there too. I had the fortune of meeting some of my wife’s new freinds. Her best freind out there is very cute. After going out to dinner with her my wife said to me, “You were flirting with her, and she was flirting back.” What could I say? It was true?
This is a very pretty, girl (about 30) with a masters degree in chemistry. The trouble is, she has a job in rural missouri. This is fine for my wife and I as we both have each other and have no need to find someone. As much as I enjoy flirting with her we just can’t go on like this. She needs a boyfreind. But she has a snowball’s chance in hell of finding a compatible guy in the town we will live in.
Send her to me. She can provide for the two of us and I’ll keep the apartment clean and give her my love when she’s done with work at the end of the day, I promise.
Oh no, she’s not going anywhere. She’s got a nice life where she is. You don’t happen to be a materials chemist do you, because there are jobs available? She does travel to symposiums and such so maybe she’ll get hooked up there.
No, it’s not my business to be posting her pictures online. You’ll have to trust me, she’s cute and in good shape.
I suppose the computer thing might be a good idea. It’s difficult to say the type of people she might meet online, but it might be here best chance. I wonder if I could get her turned on to the SDMB.
If she’s at least east of Mizzou, it isn’t to hard to get to STL for weekends & we have a fair supply of guys with brains she could connect with. If I could convince my wife, heck, I’d be interested in being “pals” (yeah, that’s it, “pals”). Although your friend’s probably gonna think I’m just a little old for her.
Actually, rural MO is one of the great Gobi deserts when it comes to bright people; If she’s working at a mine or chem plant in Hooterville, she’s gonna develop a need for a pen pal, an SDMB subscription & a 240V 3-phase robo-vibe real quick; it takes all three to keep a gal’s sanity when truly immersed in yokel culture.
The Rolla part wasn’t in Christopher’s last note when I wrote the above. Rolla is small, but there are some clueful folks at the college, both profs & students. Yeah, they’re geeky engineers, but heck, she’s a college chemist, so there oughta be some overlap there. Or just go with the robo-vibe.
I’ve done two long-distance relationships with girls in Japan; I’ve met one in real life and am going to meet the other soon. The first I met a year ago and we ended up having a great summer together in Japan.
Send pictures and a tax return. Pictures should be of her garage. Tell her I cook, clean, do laundry and brew beer. And ride motorcycles. None of which leaves much time for work, so she better pick up that slack.
I know they must be out there, but how do you go about finding them? They don’t exactly have professor mixers. I think the students might be a bit young, but maybe not. I don’t suppose there’ll ever be a MO dopefest, I’d bring her along once I actually live there.
Start a group that gets these folks together for social functions. The single ones will be drawn to it, the marrieds will give it flavor, and it will give everyone an excuse to get out of the house/lab/office and exchange ideas. It doesn’t have to be a “singles” group. Even if she doesn’t meet the love of her life she’ll make some friends and have a good time.
Well, checking out Rolla’s community events calendar online (community events are usually a good way to meet people), there’s a demolition derby at the fairgrounds tonight.
On Saturday the 26th there’s a concert at the Lyric theater, one Mick Byrd, who apparently plays “crossover country, blues, and folk/rock”.
And then on June 1st and 2nd there’s the 2nd Annual Rt. 66 Motorcycle Classic downtown.
Let’s see…nothing in July…or August…or September…hmmm.
Looks like UMR has a few events that are open to the public, too.
Is she a born-again by any chance? 'Cause if so I’ve got an ex down there who has a job, cleans his own house, and can cook.
I’m predicting not very. Once again we are getting more personal than I prefer to indulge on the internet. Let’s just say, I don’t see her fitting in with the locals.
Also, she is somewhat younger than I had indicated.
