I asked out a total stranger. Find out how I did!

[kainedamo]

He hates himslf i think, seriously, he needs to be defined and validated by a lot of faceless people on a website.

Well i define you as an ugly mofo

Dude... why the hell are you taking things so seriously? People like you weird me out.

I come here to the board, I have a laugh, I have an ability to laugh at myself which is a good trait, I really don't care what complete strangers think of me.

It's just people like you. Why do you take this so seriously?

 

[Caliber]

So like, get this!

I was in town today walking about. You know those charity people that stop you on the street to try to get you to sign stuff? Well I spotted one of them down the street, thought she looked cute, and this had been on my mind for some time... if I want a girl I'm going to have to go out and find one. I sat on a bench and thought about it. It wouldn't be difficult, because usually those people stop you in the street anyway! There's half of the awkwardness gone already!

So I went and bought some chewing gum, chewed it, put it in a bin, and went walking over to her. She stopped me and she put out her hand and we shook hands, she asked me my name and stuff. Why didn't I think of this before?? It's genius really! The awkwardnes of saying hello and introducing yourself... totally gone!

So I let her talk away about her charity. She asks me to sign up, I'm all like "I can't afford that! I'm unemployed!" and she says it's only £8 a month, which doesn't sound too bad. So eventually I say "well... what time do you finish work at?". And she tells me, and I say "do you wanna go somewhere and get a drink or something?".

She says then, she'll give me her email address if I sign up for the charity. So I do. Now I know what you're all thinking! But the story continues.

I get home, think about what I can say in my email. I send her an email, she replies with her msn addy, we talk on msn for a few hours, getting along very well. Definately seems like we'll be meeting up at some point.

She seems very nice AND we have alot in common. She likes comic books!! She buys Marvel!! Fantastic! I don't meet many people that get comics! We also have similar tastes in video games and movies. Now I know similar tastes isn't everything, but damn that's a good start! I picked out a total stranger and she has alot in common with me!

I know what some of you DOUBTERS are thinking. I'm going to call you, Tommy Mc-doubter-son. You're thinking the story is bull****. Well I've never lied to you before, my comrades!

Looks like my luck is finally changing!

You''re lucky, incredibily lucky.

Guys, I'm as much of a fan of Kaine-mocking as the next guy, but there are the boundaries of civility to consider. Or in the words of a great philosopher:

Mock not Kaine for his looks,
Mock not Kaine for his nationality,
Yet, mock Kaine for his manners, beliefs and his 'charms'.

Here endeth the lesson.

Exactly.

I mean, as long as it's all in good humour, I don't mind. It's when people take it seriously I get annoyed. Why take it seriously? I don't get it.

 

[RogueLDN]

so were allowed to rip the piss out of your beliefs manners and charms.

and I'm weird????

 

[Hack and Slash]

wow 12 pages already!

 

[maxwell's demon]

Kaine- so i haven't read the whole thread - have you been out on a date wiht her yet? if so, how'd it go?

 

[Whirlysplat]

I'm not that ugly

That's me when I was about 16.

And you say you're 22 now? Pixel resolution is interesting did they have 3 mega pixel cameras 6 years ago?

[Alpha and Omega]

Oish!! That's harsh!

You're right; it was.

I make no apologies though.

 

[RogueLDN]

is this thread, (and indeed is posts) editied by Jim Hensons company?

It is better to laugh at yourself before others laugh at you, it takes away the pain.

Hahahaha. Are you telling him to go listen to some Jimmy Eat World?

 

[War Lord]

Hahahaha. Are you telling him to go listen to some Jimmy Eat World?

I just lay out the facts of life and let others deal with the damage I do.

Not yet. From the conversations on msn I've had the last two days, it's hard to gather what's happening. We've just been making alot of small talk. I guess that's natural when you don't really know someone.

I believe I took that picture with a webcam.

I'm not sure what age I am, but I look fairly younger in that pic, so I'd say about 16.

Her willingness to engage in small talk is a good thing.

To weigh her intents, ask if you can spend the weeked at her house to plan your wedding. If she says yes, than you're in.

 

[kainedamo]

I've already suggested that she quit her job to hang out with me at my house. Not sure if she took that as a joke or not.

 

[Erzengel]

Since there is a level of anonmity and walls you can erect around yourself, I'm surprised it's moving as slow as it is. The fact that you haven't flirted or she hasn't gives me the impression that you don't have more than a pen pal there.

 

[kainedamo]

I'll try a bit of flirting and see how it goes. Flirting on msn is weird though.

 

[Erzengel]

Use emoticons, LOL's, j/k, to further your point.

I do have one question for you, is the conversations one sided? Do you feel like you are doing most of the talking?

 

[kainedamo]

Yes I do Erz. I mean, she's responsive and stuff. But I find that I keep having to ask questions to keep the conversation going. She wasn't like that the first day on msn, she was just like that yesteday.

If I'm boring her she can just block me. I hate women. Women are never honest.

If she hasn't cut you off, than it's probably ok. But don't do it again.

To bad you weren't Norweigian. I'm told that it's legal for men to kidnap women and make them your wife.

 

[kainedamo]

Ok, how's this for a flirty line. Her boss said that if she doesn't make sales he's gonna make her wear her hair in pigtails. So next time she signs on, I could say "has your boss made you wear pigtails yet??" and then say "'cause I think you would look sexy with pigtails".

I can't flirt. I come off as sleazy.
