LOL! I knew the song but had never seen the video.
I guess I would agree with you more if I had actually been, you know, *dating * anyone. The only time I contacted Lauren with the intention of asking her on a date, she said she had something going on, (probably MarTEEN) otherwise she’s always just shown up and found me when I’m out. Ashley said she’d like to see a movie with me sometime but nothing’s come of that so far. Running into Kelly was a thrill and like I said the kisses practically made me swoon, and she’s said we should meet up again soon but nothing has worked out so far. And I was enough of an idiot to actually buy a couple drinks for Lauren prior to MarTEEN showing up. So as far as who’s playing who, I’m pretty sure Lauren wins.
As for getting snarky texts from Lauren if I had gotten together with Ashley; somehow I don’t think she would care.
Go for it. Age is just a number, and all those handy cliches. Better to live and learn then wonder what might have been.
Age apparently isn’t as much of an issue as my own cluelessness.
You do look safe, but you’re also very cute. I’m pretty sure you won’t die alone.
Thing is, I’m not opposed to dating someone who is keeping their options open, but the key is communication and honesty. If Lauren had told me outright that she was dating MarTEEN, but not exclusively, then great. Have fun, tonight is MarTEEN’s night. If she IS intending to date MarTEEN exclusively, then she shouldn’t be coming up to me and showing her tan lines and asking for a neck rub and leaning up against me and all that. I actually feel kinda bad for MarTEEN, because I’m pretty sure Lauren will find someone else to flirt with before long, and from his reaction last night, he’s a pretty jealous guy. Sorry, MarTEEN.
Thanks…but doesn’t “safe” imply some sort of asexual thing, like how people talk about the 70 year-old veteran who hits on the waitress but “he’s harmless” and all that? Maybe I really do need to grunt more.
Nah, it just means you don’t look like an axe-murderer.
Even with that last angry-looking pic? Whew!
See, this is why I can’t be bothered to play all these silly flirting games. Well, didn’t play them, back when I was single. I don’t play them now more than ever.
An Gadai, that song and video really does sum up this thread. 
ETA: Forgot to say, yeah, there’s nothing wrong with the way you look, Cuckoorex. I too don’t think you’ll die alone. I think you just need to get a little more…focused.
You know, the more I think about it, even sven has something of a point. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I was playing anyone, but I was flirting with multiple people, and really enjoyed it, so I can’t be too mad at Lauren if she’s doing the same. The only difference to me is if she and MarTEEN are sleeping together or otherwise in a serious relationship; at that point, I would say she should have let me know that she’s seeing someone now for sure, and let me know that I shouldn’t be flirting so much with her.
Well, Lauren texted me today, complaining about how much MarTEEN was annoying her, that he was accusing several of his friends of trying to take her home. I asked her if she was in an exclusive relationship with him, and she replied “he seems to think so,” to which I replied, “what do YOU think?” and she said “I like committed relationships but not exclusive,” which I take to mean that she’s looking for good times more than anything else. She never said what was going on with MarTEEN but unless he’s the kind who assumes that a hug and kiss mean that you’re practically married, I’d have to assume they’ve been intimate. That’s fine, they’re both adults and all that, but I told her that if she wants something like an open relationship she needs to make sure MarTEEN knows that’s what you want, because he looked really angry when he showed up to find me with my arm around her and her leaning into me.
But at least you’ll have the memories of making up a lot of horseshit stories to try and impress strangers on the internet to look back on…
Seriously, dude, you don’t want any part of this ant’s nest of crazy, do you?
Of course he does. How else will he brag on the internet about all the ladies that love him, while simultaneously looking for sympathy for his plight that none of these crazy bitches want to marry him. Life is hard.
Will you compliment my appearance if I post a picture of myself?
No?
I’m going to die alone. 
How about now?
But aren’t you pretty much doing to Lauren what she’s doing to you? Please. :dubious:
You weren’t with Laura(en?), she was hanging out with you and then leaving and coming back to flirt with you some more. If you had left some time while she was gone for a bit, she would have found something else to do. You can’t blame her for dancing with somebody else, or spending time with him, because if somebody else had come along (Ashley?) you would have done the same thing. Not saying you need to make some kind of momentous decision here, but seriously, you’re either dating one of these women, or you’re not, and if you’re not, which is where you are right now, then you don’t get to say anything about who else she does date.
Maybe if you post two or three different pictures with self depreciating link text, I may change my opinion. As of now, though: you’re dyin’ alone, sir.
Whatever. I’m keeping my options open.
