[chairmenmeow47]

[Mugwog]

[ods..]

wow that dude FUCKED UP

[Mugwog]

Ladies: Have you ever hooked up with a delivery man?

[algunz]

Do you mean randomly? As in you didn't know him before he showed up at the door?

[JorgeC]

when i was 20 and i moved into an apartment, the cable guy was there for a few hours. he was late to all the rest of his appointments that day.

Love. It.

[NachoCat]

Ivy, wanna go out for wings sometime? My treat

[guedita]

I shotgunned five beers before my date last night. I also learned that this guy is living with his parents. Bwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I feel like I couldn't have been more of a distant, obviously uninterested date on multiple occasions with this guy, not to mention telling him I'll text him and then not, and he still sends me texts trying to go on another date. Perhaps there really is something to this negging game.

[miscorrections]

I think the fact that you've seen him on multiple occasions - disinterest be damned - is the problem.

Is there some payoff you're getting by going out with him? Any reason not to cut him loose?

[TomAz]

Ahem.

An uninterested person is bored, unconcerned, or indifferent; a disinterested person is impartial, unbiased, or has no stake in the outcome. If you're on trial, you want a disinterested judge. Unless you're a lawyer, the word you're generally looking for is "uninterested," but a quick news search shows that "disinterested" is frequently misused by the media. Here's how to use them properly:
◦
Squiggly couldn't help yawning; he was uninterested in fishing stories.

◦
The ex-wife can hardly be considered a disinterested party.


Bryan Garner, author of Garner's Modern American Usage, states that many people have given up the fight to preserve the distinction between the two words, but he believes it is worth preserving. The Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage writers note that their research shows "disinterested" taking on the additional meaning of "uninterested," but "uninterested" being used to mean "disinterested" only rarely (and in fact, being used less often in general than "disinterested").

I've only seen him twice. I've stood him up like 3 times.

[miscorrections]

I feel compelled to remind you that twice is more than once.

[guedita]

True. I guess I'm of the opinion that a few non-responded to texts would eventually clue him into maybe not "seeing how my week is going and what I'm up to this weekend."

I've got television shows to catch up on.

[HotHamWater]

And you're choosing to not tell him that you don't want to see him anymore. What are you getting out of this situation?

[TomAz]

I feel compelled to remind you that twice is more than once.

Let a=b

Then, a^2 = ab

And, a^2 + a^2 = a^2 + ab

So, 2a^2 = a^2 + ab

Subtract 2ab from both sides: 2a^2 - 2ab = a^2 + ab - 2ab

2a^2 - 2ab = a^2 - ab.

2(a^2 - ab) = a^2 - ab

Dividing both sides by (a^2 - ab),

2=1.

QED.

[guedita]

Amusement. AMUSEMENT.

[TomAz]

Yes, math humor is the best.

[SlowMotionApocalypse]

yo.

[Robin]

True. I guess I'm of the opinion that a few non-responded to texts would eventually clue him into maybe not "seeing how my week is going and what I'm up to this weekend."

Feel free to borrow my imaginary boyfriend. That usually gets the texts to stop.

[guedita]

I never said I wanted them to stop. I told him on date one that I think dating is an essentially experiment in social interactions and human dynamics. I'm merely amused and intrigued.

[HowToDisappear]

You're being cruel. And deliberately gloating about it.

[Dogvolta]

You're being cruel. And deliberately gloating about it.

My thoughts reading through this whole page. But I've always found guedita to be a bit off, so I wasn't sure if it was just me.

[Mugwog]

He's probably got a "gonzo nose" dick, can't commit, but just so fascinating she can't turn away from it completely

[guedita]

I'm not being cruel. I don't respond to his texts, and yet once a week he sends another one. It amuses me and this is a thread wherein we share dating stories. You people. This isn't the let's fall in love in thread and work on committed relationships, which I'm also perfectly capable of and have done.

[HowToDisappear]

You find toying with the mouse amusing. Those watching from the sidelines find it unpleasant.

[ThatGirl]

You're being cruel. And deliberately gloating about it.

I don't think she's being cruel. Really all she's doing is choosing to date like how a guy would date, and talking about it.

[guedita]

You find toying with the mouse amusing. Those watching from the sidelines find it unpleasant.

It's not toying with a mouse if I'm completely non-responsive.

Let's all go back to collaboratively encouraging the men in this thread to practice their flirting skills deliberately on women they aren't even that interested in, though. Dating!

[HowToDisappear]

Standing him up three times and dating him twice is not being "completely non-responsive". You're a very smart girl. You know that.

I think we can all agree that dating is not the easiest and most fun thing in the world. So yes, let's get back to dating. But try and be honest to the people you're dating. Honesty goes a long way.




And I should really just not enter this thread./
