Lonely Hearts Club Thread v. The Strong Grip

Mood: 

I assume that The Mountain wasn't the only guy who got a little handsy then?

I was going to say "I assume that Martell wasn't the only person who took one in the eye then?" but your way is more classy.

No, I took it easy. She came over around 6 and we just hit it off. We literally sat and talked and laughed about all kinds of things... for over five hours. Flew by. Then we watched that episode. She was checking out all my books and took photos of the lights (have I shared pics of my living room? Super chill) and was having a good time. It was the first date so I wasn't planning on trying anything. A little after midnight she went home. We hugged, I said we should do this again, and she said she'd likely be free Sunday.

Very, VERY cute, lovely smile and laugh. She's awesome.

Mike, you played it perfectly.  You made a connection right away.  She will appreciate how you handled yourself.


It's so easy to hop in bed. It's better to get that connection first if you want more from this date.

[Stadler]

Yeah, big fan of that approach.  Nicely done.

[The Walrus]

Thanks guys. Yeah, I think it was the right way to go about it. And since I took a video yesterday to show my sister, here's my now-cozy living room. Mainly I just want to show off the lights lol. It used to be so cramped and horribly arranged, with a lot of ugly (uglier?) band posters on the walls that I ripped down, even the signed ones (end of an era, hoo boy). Go ahead and talk shit about the Rhapsody and Lord of the Rings stuff, she didn't seem to care 

EDIT: and just as I post that, she tells me one of her dogs is sick so nothing tonight. But soon, apparently. The game goes on 

EDIT 2: got invited to her place soon. Awwww buddies

[The Walrus]

BOOM. Playing this perfectly. She showed me a movie she bought at the store last night, I told her she should bring it over sometime ha ha ha you know, then she just invited me over - once her dog is no longer sick. So, soon. I took a leap of faith and bought a Christmas gift for her in advance, again just to be safe. She likes Ghibli films - so I found these pairs of My Neighbor Totoro socks, and a Totoro music box, and under the gift options I used fitting quotes from the film.  For the box, it's "You must have seen one of the spirits of the forest, and that means you're a very lucky girl. Merry Christmas From your neighbor Totoro" and the socks are "Do you like spirits, [name]? Even fuzzy ones? Merry Christmas! From your neighbor Totoro"

Nerdy, but fun, and not too grand a gift.

Dibs on being best man!

[The Walrus]

Oh please

[Adami]

Oh please

Just hedging my bets. If, for some reason, this really goes the whole nine yards, I officially have....on record....dibs to be best man.

So Stads and your actual friends can all suck it.

I know this is all in jest, but this would be amazing to do anyway! We should organize it.

Things are going well. Girl digs me a lot. I was over at a friend's playing with the baby last night and apparently the mom sent her pictures of that lol so she came over and that was fun too. Inviting her over tonight. Forum activity is gonna drop, boys 

[King Postwhore]

What?!  You can't Multitask?

Besides, we have questions for her.  Zoom call or we will spam the fuck out of you tonight. 

[The Walrus]

I'm scared because I believe it!! 

[King Postwhore]

 

No man.  Have a great time!

Does "Playing with the baby" mean something?  I can't follow the slang....

Another one slipped away, boys. Rip. She was a good one, too

I never know what to do with rejection. Option A: reflect on what I can do to improve myself so someone like her wouldn't reject me in the future. Option B: conclude that something must be wrong with her because I'm just fine the way I am, and if she doesn't see that, then her standards are whack. It's hard to figure out which is the truth.

[Adami]

Did....did you kill her??

[The Walrus]

Little bit of both in my experience. Although I wouldn't say there's anything wrong with her, or anything wrong with you; you are just fine the way you are, and there's a lot that goes into two people making or breaking a connection, but reflecting on oneself is never a bad idea to do. Sometimes it's nothing you can explain. That's when I would just crack open a drink or smoke something. lol

@Adami: 

[H2]

[deleted] - changed my mind

[cramx3]

Sorry to hear, but Walrus is right.  It doesn't need to be something wrong with you or her, but something just didn't work out.  I guess if you know the exact reason you can think of how to improve upon what went wrong, but oftentimes, it's not something specific like that. 

[Stadler]

I think it's just being honest in your evaluation.  Sometimes I've been the cause of things ending, other times it was just that the chemistry wasn't there.   The trick for you is to make sure you're looking at it as honestly as you can.    If she's a recovering alcoholic and you spent the first date challenging her to drinking contests, you have to take some responsibility for that, you can't just chalk it up to "chemistry".   By the same token, if there's just no spark, you can't really take that personally. 

[The Walrus]

All I'll say is that 2021 is officially the year of the cougar. Holy shit.
