It Rubs The Lotion On Its Skin: A Thread About Dating

[Alchemy]

Right before he dumped me, he was all, "Hey, do you remember my friend so-and-so from the party? You two should really hang out. You like all the same stuff, you hate on ravers and he likes Kraftwerk too."

To which I replied, "Oh, haha. Yeah."

And then he keeps going on and on about it: "Yeah you two should hang out, I think you'd get along. I was telling him you two should hang out and even he said, 'Well I hate ravers, but I love Kraftwerk' and I said, 'Well so does she."

And then he dumped me...so it was immediately afterwards I realized that I was being SET UP and DUMPED simultaneously and I was like WTF.

He felt guilty for his intentions to dump you and wanted to give you his friend so that you would not be left with nothing. I would ask for the monetary equivalent, instead.

[lt.roast.a.botch]

Huh? Why is the guy whining? Did he explicitly break up with you or did you infer that based on his suggestion to hang out with someone else?

[Alchemy]

People told her he was whining.

EDIT: Though, I am curious as to how he dumped you, Kat. Tell us the dialogue.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I guess that's "dating"! Ugh.

[MoSetsfire]

thats a pretty considerate break up. I've never used the "let me pawn you on my friend" approach

[Robin]

This thread is supposed to be about dating, not complaining about people we don't date anymore.

I started dating someone. It's ok.

is this even acceptable? I've never (knowingly) hooked up with anyone my friend has been with. I'm sure there are exceptions if the circumstances are right, but i'd rather spend the time getting to know a new person than trying to be in a relationship with a friend of a person that it already didn't work out with. I'd be wondering if they only wanted to date me for the awesome sex they heard about from their friend.

I've never thought of it before. When I break up with a girl the goal is to get her out of my life, not relocate her.

[Robin]

He was probably just trying to get his friend laid.

[Goatchella]

Something must be wrong with her...

[MoSetsfire]

That's reasonable. What a stand up guy.

[Robin]

On a date right now. He brought me to the pool hall. What guy does that?

[fikus222]

A guy who doesn't mind losing to a girl...unintentionally.

Drink up and show him how you handle a stick and some balls.

He's a smart man.

[Ha.SK]

My boyfriend told me one of his ex's use to love giving oral and swallowed.
I told him he should have married her.
He just shook his head.

[suprefan]

Guess you should stop swallowing so he wont marry you then.

[Originalbob]

This sounds rather counter productive in my book o' relationships. You gotta lose a little to gain a little--always a compromise!

That sounds like a fun place to go on a date! A lot more interactive than a movie and less pressure to constantly create conversation from nothing like getting drinks or coffee*.

Though if you don't like pool that's a different story. Or if he doesn't like pool that's an even different, very strange story.

Most of my dates were at pool halls... I usually kicked their ass.

Yeah, i agree. You get to both interact and have a distraction in the form of a game. Unless it's a really scummy, divey pool hall and all his bros are there too.

[locachica73]

Scummy, divey pool halls usually have the best jukebox and people watching. You might get stabbed but that's half the fun.

[Robin]

It was a lot of fun. Got a few beers in.
I think he let me win the first 3 games.

[Errant]

Will there be a second date?

[Robin]

Will there be a second date?

That wasn't date #1

ps - Keep an eye out for "Sassy Cunt" again. She'll be rolling in on a blue SUV.

[Errant]

I can't make it this time

[Robin]

I can't make it this time

SUCK! Y'all were awesome neighbors last year.


Is it bad that I got a little excited over this? Just a little, though.

pool halls are for pool, drinkin, and gamblin. Not girls. Unless they are there to whoop your ass on the felt.

There are many ladies that know how to weild a cue with authority.

This doesn't make any sense.
