I don't know much about an iPod, and I help operate the world's most advanced X-Ray machine.

Spanish is okay. French is the bestest. And it sounds so much more alluring, so I hear.

You stopped with the .

I wanna learn French. so I can curse people out with a smile on my face...and they don't know it.

Its more fun when you can do it and they're not certain of whether or not you are insulting them... and they can see that you don't care if they are insulted.

Why yes, I have had my arse kicked several times in real life... Why do you ask..?

Arse? You = English?

I like using English curse words, since it's not my first language. lol

Australian... so close.

I had a date last month and it went well, until she asked why it took me 6 years to graduated from college. I told her I took a year off to "get my head on straight." She gave me a funny look but didnt say anything. I e-mailed her later telling her that I left school for a year because I'm manic depressive. I just didnt want her to think I was drinking every day or doing drugs or whatever.

Yeah.

She e-mailed back say that her last bf was also a manic depressive and she couldnt go through that again.

Question: How long into a relationship should you tell someone something like that? Some people told me that I needed to establish trust first. I thought she would by upset if I had kept something like that from her.

Where are you from?

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

You might not wanna make that first, or even second date material.

When the history stuff comes up, let it bubble up as it comes across.

Let your personality shine through, and help establish the basis.

I hate it when a guy sorta comes off in my first few dates as, "Hiya, I have an anger issue."

Not really.

Well, you fumbled there.

Really? But my plan worked so well.

 

[Hound55]

Playing rugby in Adelaide (where its not the most mainstream of sports) you get exposed to a lot of different nationalities and dialects. Islanders, kiwis, Poms, Scots, Irish, Welsh, Yarpies...

I love cursing in Afrikaans although I know virtually none... Growling out a "fikkenkop" in a ruck sounds very frickin' aggressive, and as such effective.

For those playing at home, that would be f***-head.

I see there's a upgrade feature there. That means no free? Like is it free to talk to people there? Like all free 110%?

I think paid subscription means no ads, and that you're a "serious user." PoF is blocked at work, but Wikipedia says it's still free to use.

So you hear? Pity. The postdoc moved here from Paris. The accent is .

Which also a pity. From Paris to an LA suburb.

I think so too, especially if she knew she couldn't handle a manic-depressive bf again. I think it was for the best. At least it was only one date so there wasn't a lot of emotional baggage involved.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

The way I feel about Paris? The LA suburb was a freaking upgrade.

I hate paris. It smells and feels like s***. :

I thought Paris was nice. I liked the tiny villages SO much better though. So cute.

And London is just like NYC, except with more fog and old buildings. Wasn't that impressed.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

lol Paris is so...much. And by much, I mean caterers. They're like the meaner French. Especially when you hail from Marseille, you don't feel big love for your corrupted bigger sister. However, the villages and towns are just lovely, and generally very friendly. Though, a bit critical if you don't speak French. Then you get the, "Get lost," from them.

 

[Cunning Stunts]

Well ****, when you said, "I thought you were talking about me," I didn't think hard enough to figure out that you were French.

Maybe you were that girl.

We went with a big tour group, but usually the villagers were very friendly if you at least tried to speak French. (I had had the most training, with a month of French in middle school 3 years before, and some last-minute cramming at the airport. )

I think it was just hilarious when we tried to get a postage stamp to send postcards, though. After much failed French, hand-waving and pointing at things with the cashier lady, we finally realized that she was asking which country, because different countries require differently priced stamps.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

lol I doubt it. Unless you liked em...young. Though I -have- taken a few classes here in America. I was known for taking numbers from guys because I felt it related to classwork, not picking up on the obvious hitting on me.

Could have sworn that said 'serious loser' the first few times I read it.

OKCupid has no register page...unless if I google OKCupid register. The home page for OKCupid seems broken...or I = stupid.

i think most chicks tend to "freak out" when they hear stuff like that early on, and get turned off without even knowing much about you, so it always good to wait a while. You were being honest which is a good thing, but i say wait for about a few weeks to bring that up, cause if everything is going well between the two of you, bringing up your disorder shouldn't bother her, and if anything she should appreciate your honesty

It's really none of her business.

London is indeed a **** hole.

But there are some nice parts, suppose like everywhere. Very diverse culture in London.

 

[Erzengel]

I know it's not even in the same league as being manic depressive but I always use to joke how I never brought up video games, comics, toys on a first date. And it wasn't because I was ashamed, but you like to put your best foot forward and bringing up who really could win in a fight between Batman and Superman may not be best first date discussion.

However on the other side, I know a girl who has Herpes and this is why I'm so happy not to be single because she was dating this guy and inevitably she has to come clean and tell him. But when she finally told him, he was like, oh yeah me too.

It's really none of her business.

Really? Dating someone who's bi-polar is not the easiest thing in the world and while like I said, it probably shouldn't be brought up on the first date, but it's something if they started dating exclusively he would have to tell her because it would become her business.

 

[Hound55]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I prefer it when the craziest thing about my potential partner is that they decided to go out with me...
