Turtle-Man’s cute, funny, and entertaining. I don’t know you as well, but presumably you’re not horrible.
I think you have your expectations set *way * too high. Female is highly overrated. 
I know, silly.
His thing was he would date a woman who either:
could quote that line back
or has seen the Transformers movie.
I quoted that line, he told me that, I said I’d never seen Transformers.
Hence our date.
This from the gal who’s always hitting on Harimad-Sol?
prim mode I like guys best. /prim mode
I once had a Valentine card that said “<Malacandra>, for one so bright you are remarkably slow on the uptake.” It doesn’t quite count though, 'cos it was actually from my existing SO trying to encourage me to chat up other women so I would finish with her. :rolleyes:
I met a girl in a bar once back in the early '90s. It was a Halloween party kind of thing, and several people wore costumes. I wasn’t really on the prowl that night, I just liked the band. I was standing pretty close to the front when I was bumped into a girl wearing a backless dress (Vampira or something like that). I didn’t crash into her, but I did put my hand on her back to brace the both of us. It was the softest skin I had ever felt, and I said to her “Wow, you have a really soft back!” We started talking, spent the rest of the evening talking, went back to her place and kept talking, and just got to be great, great friends over the next several years. We’d have our periods of “friends with benefits” which was great, but we both felt the friendship was too good to ruin it over a “relationship”. We don’t see each other often now, since she moved to AZ, but every now and then out of the blue there will be an e-mail or phone call or something to let the other know that we’re thinking of each other.
I don’t normally get misty-eyed when a friend moves away, but I bawled like a baby that day.
Yay!
Holy mother of all that’s holy, I just realized that I have one of these (which is odd, because I don’t get asked out).
So back when I was in Seattle, there was a boba tea place that I would go to all the time after work, in order to give traffic time to thin a bit. There was a cute girl there who I’d chat with every now and then. (Okay, so there were two reasons I went there so much.)
Well, they had a stamp-card system—you know it; you get a stamp everytime you get a drink, get it stamped 10 times, get a free drink—as well as a small box by the register where regulars could keep their cards so they don’t need to fumble through their wallet every time they came in (or something; I never was quite sure why they felt that was necessary).
Anyway, one day I came in, got my card out of the box, and noticed that on the front it said “turn over.” So I did, and on the back was a short note. Turns out that the girl I used to talk to got canned over the holiday weekend (4th of July, I believe) over a misunderstanding about her schedule. She had left her number on the card, and told me I should give her a call sometime.
Needless to say, I did, and we hung out a few times, though nothing really happened between us romantically.
And that’s the one and only time a girl asked me out (kinda).
I was in Jakarta in 1980. The maid for my floor of the hotel developed a crush on me. She took a big chance and left me a note asking if I would meet her in a little cafe down the street from the hotel, which would have fired her if they had known.
I changed hotels about two weeks later and she and I dated the rest of the time that I was in Jakarta.
So you are near the corner of Birch Bay and Harborview? Do you ever go to the water park?
Younger women ask me out…not so often that I think I am Brad Pitt or anything but I seem to have an effect on females that are alot younger. I dont know if this counts as “odd” unless you mean “flattering but omfg creepy/yikes I’m old enough to be your FATHER”
the girl is Beautiful, shes spanish/philipino/chinese, inteligent, into alot of the things I am into including a good cross section of music.
she made me a cd with no song list, I liked it alot but the first track was bugging me, coulndt make out all the lyrics but I googled the ones I could make out and got this (not 100% worksafe, some language) http://www.velvetacidchrist.com/zslut.htm
if this wasnt a student/teacher relationship with a father/daughter age gap I’d be happy as a clam…as it is shes 15 and obviously a bit confused.
while running past me very quickly
I was at a wedding last weekend, very casual backyard reception with this guitarist instead of a DJ or band. Decent enough, just one fella with his guitar and amp and mike, playing background CDs during the meal and then singing.
He kept hanging around me and another single girl there, with the dumbest comments. As we’re walking past the dance area it’s “I like to watch women dance, will you dance for me?” and when we’re sitting eating he plops down in an empty chair to say “I love to watch women eat.”
It was weird but amusing, anything we were doing (or he thought we might do) got a “Wow, I like women that do X a lot” all night. Not exactly asking either of us out, just this weird commentary and a lot of staring, so it probably doesn’t fit here, but the thread title made him pop into my mind.
It’s about a half-mile away. I’ve never been. It seems pretty popular, but I have the kayak and the zodiac, and even a tiny sailboat for water fun.
If it makes you feel better, Velvet Acid Christ is pretty popular amongst the underground industrial kids. For the most part, the lyrics and vocal samples are extreme to be extreme. If she actually meant them truthfully for you, then yeah, she’s got issues. I’d be more likely to believe that she just likes the song.
Woohoo! I flushed out a lurker with my thread! Grab him!
But can you really blame her?
Hmmm. Maybe that’s why people hardly ever ask me out. I’m too conceited.
The weirdest way anyone ever asked me out happened a couple of years ago in the computer lab. A woman that I often sat next to and chatted with asked me, in an IM though we were sitting side-by-side, if she could bring me home to her husband. :eek:
I went.
Let me make it clear that I don’t consider myself a man women ask out very often so I am not on the look out for it. A couple of times my friends have had to tell me it was seriously happening. I did not believe them and to my surprise, it turns out they were right.
I had been a regular at a coffee shop near my apartment for quite a while and I had always been friendly with the waitress who served me. She was attractive and way out of my league but that didn’t stop us for visiting everytime I went in. One time I went in and had a soft drink or something and a few more friends came in and a few more and finally I got up to leave and picked up my bill and looked at it and there was some writing on it in addition to my bill, but because of spills, stains and bad handwriting I couldn’t read it.
I called my waitress friend over to explain what it was and when she came, I asked her. She mumbled something that I couldn’t understand and I asked again and she went running off. A female friend at the table grabbed the check out of my hand, read it and dope slapped me on the back of the head.
“You idiot,” she said. “She was asking you out. Go apologize.”
As usual I was totally confused; even while I was standing outside the employee restroom shouting through the door explaining that I was incredibly stupid and didn’t read well and was insensitive and…
:eek: does a double-take
What would it take to get details?
Heck, no. You seem like a fun gal to me.
