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

[downingthief]

All is good, Ivysaur. On good terms for sure.

I'm flying to Texas tomorrow to see a girl. We met in college and had a fling but randomly over the past month we've reconnected and it has become serious.

I'm not sure if that should have gone in the confession thread but c'est la vie.

I think I remember you mentioning her in the "Getting to know your fellow board members" thread?

[Dogvolta]

I've recently reconnected with an old flame from college and on a whim have booked a ticket to fly and see her in Texas next weekend. I've gotten tired of womanizing so I think this'll be good for me. She really has me up in the clouds.

is this the girl that you talked about in your "get to know your fellow board members"?

i'm glad i'm not the only one who had deja vu there.

[Mugwog]

I'm happy I haven't had any dating dilemmas since August. My lady even came over for thanksgiving and the Fambam loves her.
NonStranger: Good luck on your trip to TX! Hope it turns into something worth the distance!

[OnlyNonStranger]

Haha, I should pay better attention to what I write.

[getbetter]

Im sure your parents are very happy there is a possibly that this girls can get you to miss future family dinners, Mugwog

[Mugwog]

Surprisingly my family life is not as defunct as one would think from reading these forums.

[getbetter]

Im sure its a EXTRA loving family.

[Mugwog]

We Filipinos stay close, how else do you get possessions when people die?

My question for this thread is about what kind of people you all end up dating - at least when it comes to superficial things like taste in art/culture etc. Do you date opposites or carbon copies. So like say someone here likes experimental rock, Spanish art, and Woody Allen. do you ever date people who listen only to the top 40 and and think woody allen is totally stupid? is it a mix? maybe you find people just like yourself too difficult to deal with and opt for normalcy by getting with people nothing like you. ... id like to know

I generally date people who are in the neighborhood, but not identical. I don't think I could handle top 40. I like fuzzy feedback and he likes synthy brit pop, but neither of us can stand Taylor Swift.

I had a sex dream with Courtney and Adam Levine from Maroon 5 last night.

Well, that's unrealistic. In the future, try to have sex dreams with me and men who use less hair gel.

I am officially single again, but there is someone that I have known for awhile I am interested in. The circle of lust/love continues. I'll make sure there are no surprises this time.

Aw Sean. I hope everything is ok. Where do you stand in terms of being part of their lives going forward?

Getting serious over long distance is not recommended. Beware.

I feel like I have to believe the other person has 'good' taste, whatever that means, even if it's not completely up my alley. Something I wouldn't choose but could tolerate, and an opinion about (music / art / whatever) that I can respect. I realize that's very vague but I think it comes down to having a passion about it, rather than having bland opinions/taste.

I'm exactly the same way. Though I also demand that they find my own bland tastes endearing.

[amyzzz]

Oh I missed the news from Sean. Sorry things did not work out, Sean.

Courtney, there was another girl and a dark-skinned guy in my dream too. Full-on orgy.

Yes. My friend/would-be-boyfriend in Florida is really into death metal and grew up on shitty pop punk, but he's really passionate about it and is discerning and doesn't just listen to garbage, even if it's mostly stuff that I wouldn't choose to listen to in my own free time. And we have a little bit of overlap. Every so often we try to take some influence from each others tastes. Still, I'd really like to eventually date someone I can get sweaty on the dancefloor with.

I've kind of given up on that, I've decided that guys with good taste in electronic/dance music are either gross or out of my league/not going to be interested in me. No in between. :P

[SoulDischarge]

For homos, the ones that like to dance are all into Lady Gaga, and the ones with a personality either don't care that much about music or are into "masculine" type music. I'm the stray weirdo who likes soul crushing heaviness and frilly ass house. Having diverse taste is a blessing and a curse.

[HotHamWater]

For me, she doesn't have to be passionate about music. I would like it, though, if she's passionate about SOMETHING. And if she respects my passions, we're good. Doesn't have to be the same thing.

[chiapet]

I should probably stop complaining about never having dates or getting laid if I'm going to continue ignoring every guy who sends me a message on OKC and sending icy glares at any guy who tries to talk to me in person.

[getbetter]

I would just stop the icy glares...your better than OKC.

[guedita]

Me too. But more importantly, someone who will doesn't mind me reeking of sweat and chemicals and will indulge me in my post-party lethargy.

[chairmenmeow47]

ha, i'm just looking for someone to let me dance in my own space. unless too $hort is on, stay the fuck away.

[miscorrections]

I just want to stay single and own a puppy ranch.

[ThatGirl]

I'm here dancing on my own ..... Robyn

[lehorne]

hope this intelligent indian girl on OKC hates curry as I can't stand the smell

[IceyHotshot]

Damn, I've been going to the gym again and those full size mirrors reveal one reason I get no action: I got big

Now just need to find out how to rationalize the other 24 years.

This. Although, it IS pretty fun having a girlfriend who loves music and going to concerts as much as I do. Although Heather hates '80s music, which is very distressing to me on a daily basis.

Do you mean 80s like Husker Du, or 80s like Cyndi Lauper? This makes a difference.
