Perhaps I disappointed him because sex toys were nowhere to be found (they were left in the nightstand drawer). Uh, Mike, you didn’t _seem_ to be having a shitty time, but if you did, 'fess up right here and tell me I’m a bad date. ---

umm… I had a fine time! Sorry, I haven’t recieved any email for the last five days until last night when I got a bunch of error messages -damn NetZero upgrades :mad: This is also the first time I’ve checked this thread in a while too so I wasn’t trying to diss anyone or hide ;). So do we get a prize for the first IRL date to come from this thread? sorry to disappoint all you lechers out there but it was a PG evening! ---

Okay, I know I’m getting in late, but here’s hoping that there’s a lurking single cute girl still reading this thread. Who hasn’t already skipped my post because of my screen name. My name is Steve, I’m 22, looking for a woman approximately my age (+/- 4 yrs or so). I’m a programmer in Austin, TX. I’m just over 6’, 150-160ish lbs, dark hair, green/blue/grey eyes. I have a odd alternately subtle and off the wall sense of humor, which I use all the time. Favorite activities include websurfing (of course), silly/intellectual talks, and of course the more fun physical stuff which I’ll leave to your imaginations for now :). I have some pics up on my homepage, [http://home.austin.rr.com/sshipman](http://home.austin.rr.com/sshipman) where you can also find a little of my sense of humor. I will be emailing some of the lovely ladies who posted earlier, but I’m also hoping we’ve got a lurker who might be more local to me. Living in a town with a college population of 50,000 you’d think the odds would be pretty good that there might be one who reads the straight dope. ---

I don’t think being a nerd is thought of as a liability around here, kid. 😉 ---

If you give me warning though I will nail my shoes to the ground long enough for you to catch up 😉 I must say nice webpage, great poems and that (Gypsy) is the second cutest dog I have ever seen.

Thanks \*\* Osip \*\* for the praise. It is a really old web site now and I have a new one underway (which is why I haven’t finished it) that hopefully will be up and running in the next few weeks if I get my databasing done first. It will have some cool photos from my trip through Scotland on it. I’ll just send you some superglue to glue those feet to the ground!! Unfortunately, circumstances are forcing me to give up my puppy (she is so adorable) but she is going to live with a friend who has a rottweiler (sp?) that she is good friends with. Well - when you are globally wandering - you will have to pop into Australia for a visit. We are geographically disadvantaged as far as position is concerned but still a damn awesome place to live. (Just too few single guys with minimal baggage and a personality - but plenty of us single women for you!!) 😃 ---

Switerland and the Crimean Penincula are in the opposite direction. Do you by chance Use AIM or ICQ? if AIM look for Osipmand. or number 76711439 on ICQ we can chatter back and forth there as well 🙂 Osip ---
