Is it too much to ask...

[Drakon]

Nope, but too bad I'm taken. And can't physically ride a bike due to my leg.

I actually met Q in my mom's bookstore in 1997 or so. It was the highlight of my year that year. I wrapped up a ton of christmas presents for him. He was very tall, huge presence about him... it ruled!

I always liked the Q episodes. And the episode I, Borg. Whenever the borg were around things always got more exciting

Yes, it is. She's using specifics as criteria for her 'perfect man' which, no matter how you look at it, is always going to end in disappointment.

You're calling that specific? I've dated guys before, you know, and no, it did not end in disappointment because they didn't like star trek. Usually it was for bigger reasons. I'm not saying I won't date anyone who doesn't like superheroes or star trek. I'm saying it would be nice. My last relationship was with a guy who had no interest in superheroes or star trek. He wasn't even that secure about that. He thought it was odd. So in spite of our many other common interests it didn't work out.

I'm not an idiot you know. I've been around the block enough times to know that what a person likes and does not like doesn't perfectly factor into attraction. I have been attracted to men that leave me scratching my head. All I'm saying is that it would be wonderful if I could have the best of both worlds. Who knows what the odds are that it will happen for me, but there's nothing wrong with hoping that there's someone like that out there.

Man, I hate the dating game. Girls suck ass.

Here's an example of someone taking the "we have to have similar tastes" thing way too far...

So I was in a club like two years ago. I was fairly depressed. I kept looking at all these pretty girls... and it was just a generally depressing night. I thought to myself, I'll talk to one girl. Just one. And I won't try hitting on her at all, I'll just try having a conversation like I would with anyone else. I almost always have long conversations with strangers (always guys) when I'm out (hardly ever go to clubs anymore).

So when I'm getting my coat from the coat room, there's a girl that has just got her coat, and I started talking to her. Can't remember what I said... but she kinda ignored what I said, and asked me what kind of music I like. I ****ing hate that question. It really puts you on the spot, and I'm almost always asked that when I'm out in a club. So I start rhyming off bands that I like... Radiohead, REM, the Pixies, and she says to me "you might aswell say your favourite food is carrots and potatoes". Then she walked off. I was like... ****! I felt like shouting after her "are you ****ing serious???". What the hell did she want me to say? The most obscure bands known to man?? I don't get it. I wasn't even hitting on her.

Single people are hilarious.

Kain, You need a blog or something.

 

[kainedamo]

I consider the hype my blog.

 

[Erzengel]

Maybe you should try other places besides clubs then.

 

[Fledermaus]

I think it's pretty strange that there is an attractive young woman that is into Trek and comics AND is single. And she can't find a guy that also enjoys those things. That is such a role-reversal that it makes my head hurt. Good luck on your search Babs.

I feel compelled to enter this thread, butI really have nothing to say.

The library is an excellent place to meet women. Seriously.

I haven't been to a club in a long time. I don't like the kinds of people that go to alot of them. Where else do I look for girls??

When I was travelling around Europe, I met alot of really cool and nice people. There was this one girl in a hostel, this Australian girl. She was sitting with us drinking and I was talking to her for awhile. But I was really bad. I'm too self-concious around girls sometimes, especially if they're pretty. I was rambiling and speeding through conversation like a bullet, changing subject every minute. Sometimes I'm absolutely fine, sometimes I'm not. Another time, when I was in Vienna, I was making this hot bartender laugh and everything.

 

[Babs Gordon]

That does suck Kaine. She sounds like a pretentious ho.

 

[Ronny Shade]

aren't they all?

 

[Erzengel]

If I can impart any advice on you, it's that a) don't put women on pedestals b) dating is a matter of numbers and c) you are on vacation meeting women who you may never meet again, you have nothing to lose

 

[Ronny Shade]

nothing to gain either. Knock her out and take her money.

You were really right about that nothing to say thing.

 

[Erzengel]

Speaking is it too much to ask....

Is it too much to ask for a thank you, for sending a poster information on tivo?

 

[Fran]

Umm, just Google it or something.

 

[Ronny Shade]

Oh yeah I meant to do that.

 

[Babs Gordon]

bwahaha... guilty ronny!

 

[Ronny Shade]

guilty of what

 

[kainedamo]

If I can impart any advice on you, it's that a) don't put women on pedestals b) dating is a matter of numbers and c) you are on vacation meeting women who you may never meet again, you have nothing to lose

a) Don't put girls on a pedestal is a problem I've had all my life. But I believe that's died down significantly (living and learning from the Vicki fiasco) in the last year or so.

Part of my problem is just that I don't try, and I put myself down, tell myself I'm not good enough.

But enough of my whining!! I want to hear other peoples dating disasters!

 

[Ronny Shade]

If it's not on a pedestal why are you trying to get it?

 

[guitarsingerguy]

I met my fiancee through her cousin. Her cousin was dating a friend of mine and told me, "You're weird. You should meet my cousin." I wanted to slap her.
