Ok, how many PM's have you received since the whole neogaf gangbang realized you are a cute chick?
Lol. Hey, sorry to disappoint you, but luckily this isn't battlelog forums and people are mature and not that desperate in here
(so I at least keep telling to myself)
.

I have got PM's only from two people in here. One who I actually know irl. The second one, well, I was going to play it cool and not to bring up any names...

Grrrr

Read PMs. Grrrrr rabble rabble

Hahaha. But he was just nice and cheerful.

I am here just for giggles and good times. If I manage to find some cool people to play BF3 (Xbox), that is totally a bonus. It also doesn't hurt if I sometimes even manage to be useful or at least entertaining in here (I doubt it, but it is no totally out of the questions).

Thats cute. Better to be a beast, than a nice husky.
Lol. Come on, nothing wrong with that little puppy either.

EDIT: Me and my bro are enjoying this thread. Brb. Going down to buy more wine.
I am also enjoying this thread. Very much actually.

All in all NeoGAF seems to be the nicest forum I have ever managed to encounter this far.

Adorable people. Awww. <3

Edit: Oh and if you ever manage to play and talk with me on Xbox, I am like the incarnation of bad dirty jokes so better not to take me too seriously. I also giggle alot and have silly English sounding accent nobody understand. You can call this as a heads up or a warning.

Nah, just teasing.... Maybe. But in fact I can imagine me, bronzewolf and Soultron at some bar. Kickin' it back, throwing back some whiskey, drinks or beer, having a good time, bantering back and forth. Jokingly, in true male compainonship. Having fun times. Good stuff. Symbiotic bromancin'. The real kind.

Me being Hank Moody. Bronzewolf being Tony Soprano. And Soultron, Harvey Specter.
 
Bam. And just like that from another girl, I get the "you're a great person, but I can't do a relationship right now" response, chalking it up to serious family issues.

Fuck. Again and again and again, every time. No matter the approach.
 
NT122

You have a freaking awesome sense of style and look like a boss. If this girl is flaking on you, its her loss. Trust me, CP or no CP, you will have no trouble with the ladies. In a few years you'll look back on this time and just laugh it off. Seriously, you'll be fine.

If I had half the sense of style you have I wouldn't be having to post in this thread.

Forget her, move on. Shes not interested.

Hahahahahahha. Bromances. Best. I have a brilliant mental image of all of that. I can also so see it happening.

And now I am damn jealous. Why oh why I don't that often manage to just hang around with lads... I mean I was really boyish and nerdy girl, I still am, but still I somewhat fail with just chilling with men.

Soultron as Harvey Spector is the greatest comparison ever. Guy exudes swag.

Haven't seen the other two shows very much.

Fuck yeah man. Up high! down low! Boom! Brofist explosion

Soultron is fucking laid back, calm, wise, in control, collected and the man has swagger. G's up.

Dude. You should feel ashamed. Watched them NOW, specifically Californication and White Collar. The Sopranos is alright.
 
I have been thinking, that in US when silly people give adorable girls stuffed animals and teddies and that kind of odds and ends every damn Valentine's day, what the hell they are supposed to do with them and where on earth they are supposed to store that kind of junk?

I watch White Collar religiously. White Collar and Suits is the ultimate 'amazing suits and witty bromance' combination. Californication I started the first season, and asides from the amazingly beautiful naked women, I sorta was 'meh' to the show.

It all gets burned when the relationship ends. Everyone knows that married couples don't do that crap so they don't fill up space with useless junk.

I wouldn't know. Forever Alone GAF lives vicariously through this thread.
 
Dudes, I had a first date tonight with a girl. Yeah I know it was Valentine's Day but I fucking owned that shit. Dinner, lots of talking, back to my place, makeout session and then peace out. I'm kinda glad I wasn't tempted to bang her on the first date. Is it wrong to think less of someone willing to do that?

Psych is pretty decent. I've been watching on Netflix. It's obviously not Californication or anything close to that, but it has wit, bromance and hot women.
 
I didn't realize I fucked up this badly with that bit. I guess the reason I threw it in there was because always in my experience, girls seem creeped out a lot of the time if they get hit on at work, but I guess that was just the way a lot of the (crazy) girls in my hometown were and isn't really a global thing. Lesson learned.

I should clarify that's not from my experience hitting on them myself, but from a coworker (female) that I used to work with in a video game store. Granted, it was a video game store, and you have all kinds of creepers coming in there though. I dunno.

Okay, I was thinking more and more about this. Has anyone else ever noticed the same thing or is it really just me?
 
Heh, opposite ends of the spectrum with two conversations I've been having the past 24 hrs on OKC.

One girl started off talking seeming interested and it quickly devolved into short answers and then a profile deletion shortly after.

Another girl started pretty uninterested which changed after a few messages to much more engaging conversation and now gave me her number mid convo to text/call her sometime.

Time to figure out when I'm free and try to set something up.

Im getting my panties wet, just thinking about season 2 of Suits.

Do yourself a favor and watch season 2 & 3 at least.

kinda off-topic.

But this is dedicated to Soultron: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmpi5NeTrRY&feature=colike

Well, I have been creeped by my clients couple of times. The absolutely worst case was when one 40-year-old dude managed to find out my personal cell phone number and texted me some extremely perverted messages about my lace pantyhoses and his dirty fantasies. Of course my colleagues (who are my friends and with whom I also hang around on my free time) stole my phone and said that they will "handle this all, don't worry". Yeah right.

We use name tags at work with full names so it is way too easy to track me down if someone really wants. Oh and also if he knew my name and phone number, he also must have known my home address.

But yeah, all in all I don't think that girls would be that freaked out if someone hit them at work, if you do it with good taste and are not like that creepy creeper.

Alright, well I don't plan on approaching anything quite like that story. That's honestly my number one fear of hitting on girls in general: coming off like a creeper. It's an irrational fear, and I don't know why I have it. After my attempt today I was completely nervous as fuck afterwards.

Probably after I left and her coworker came out of the back (who I actually had a class with before, but luckily did not see me before she went into the back), she probably was something like "Gahh, I can't believe that guy hit on me, what the fuck?" This is the kind of shit that bothers me.
 
Date was a success for the most part. She said she really wants me to chill with her more often, so I said I'd plan something for next week. Things are looking good.
 
Went to a classy local bar alone. Had an amazing dinner and drinks. Didn't give a single fuck about being single, at least tonight. Might have made some good connections for future work too, which doesn't hurt either.

Kobe beef out the ass. Oh lawd. I want moar!


Okay GAF. It's Valentine's Day. I'm depressed. I really dig this one chick. I'm with her all the time. Took her out for her birthday. My parent's own a bath and body products company. So I got her some stuff for today, so she's like "yea, we can go out on tuesday."

We haven't spoken today. I'm really apprehensive about getting close to women because I do not want to get hurt.

Oh this is probably the reason most girls (Or all girls, never had a girlfriend.) don't want anymore than a friendship.

I have cerebral palsy -_-'

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

If I had some sugar in my blood, I'd be all over that.

Lookin good my man.
 
Maybe I should have said sometime leading up to today how I feel Valentine's Day is a bullshit consumerist holiday, and given my chick some warning... Actually fuck it, I still got her a gift and she's still flipping shit.

Over/under is set at a week. =\

I have the same paranoid feelings.

Wow, Valentines day was easy as hell. We both didn't spend that much really. I got her a nice dress, she got me a shirt, we made great nerdy cards, cooked together. Just a damn good day. I know she has some sex related things coming up on the weekend. Hell yes.
 
So I called that girl today, twice. The first time I got the same thing, constant ringing and then the "error" message. The second time, I got a busy signal. So I guess I'm done with her, unless she calls me back.

Tomorrow, I'm going to try to get out. Even if it's just to go to a restaurant by myself.
 
Well it's official. I'm a huge pussy and can't ask for a girl's number or out on a date. I had a lab practical today and this girl comes in who's usually not in my class. She sits right next to me and we start talking about the test and stuff. We both are in the online class and talk about how lame that is blah blah blah. Anyway, we get done taking the practical at the same time, but she leaves a little before me so I'm like oh well. I go out the door and she's like waiting for me and asks how I think I did and stuff. So we walk out the building and she goes the other way and says well bye! I am an idiot.

I always tell myself that I'm not gonna pussy out yet I always do. It's like I put every chick I think is attractive on this huge pedestal and then my self confidence goes out the window. It's so damn frustrating cause I know any girl would be lucky to have a guy like me. Probably doesn't help that my last 2/3 of my last girlfriends cheated on me. Can't trust any girl. Bahhh
 
Damn, I have plans thursday, friday, and saturday night already with friends. May have to bail out of the Saturday night stuff at least and try to set up a date. Thurs/Fri events are more important anyway. They can go on one day without me.

Dude, my GF says you're very cute and extremely stylish. I will second the incredibly stylish part. If girls are blowing you off, screw em, you can do much better than them. You are quite possibly the best dressed GAFer I've ever seen.

*respect knuckles.jpg*
 
Okay Dating-GAF & Valentine GAF. Im out. Watching some californication and enjoying it. Sleep tightly or dont sleep well at all. See ya tomorrow.
 
Yeah, Livejournal and all that, but I'm feeling pleased with myself and want to brag

After 2 years with nothing more than a few one-nights, I'm finally back in the game. Not official, but it looks like it's heading that way. It's really impressive how this woman can make a German accent sound adorable.
 
Thanks for the compliments guys. Well, she flaked on me. Now usually I consider myself pretty positive. I have been in a wheelchair all my life. Why should I care about it, ya know? It's just times like these, it's pretty hard. I'm consistently around attractive women, they realize my positive qualities. I guess I have to be some kinda frat star, or whatever. I'm not gonna change my personality for a woman. Most like my Texan charms:) I just needed to vent. What should I do about her tomorrow? (I see her everyday.)


EDIT: I don't remember where I got the jacket, sorry D:

And you have a Texan accent?!
 
So there's 2-3 attractive girls who work at the Barnes n Noble I frequent at on weekends, one of which I've kinda sorta made eye contact with a few times and asked her where I could find X book so she's acted in her usual "I'm an employee so I have to smile at you and show an interest in you" attitude and she's aware that I show up there every weekend.

How do I approach her while she's working, but start & gear a conversation towards a personal matter? I don't want her to think I'm chatting about somthing related to her work and I want to end the conversation with "so I have to take care of some things at Target (it's attached to the mall that BnN is attached to), you want to meet up some time for coffee?"

edit: Keep in mind that if I actually go through with this, this'll be the first time I've ever asked out a girl.

Unless anyone has a better idea, you say "FUCK IT, WE'LL DO IT LIVE" and just go for it. Straight up ask her out on a date.

edit: Keep in mind that if I actually go through with this, this'll be the first time I've ever asked out a girl.

For all intents and purposes, this is pretty much exactly what I did, in fact, I'll link my post and a few other's critique of how the conversation went. Granted, mine failed, but it was because she had a boyfriend, not my fault obviously.

Be friendly but don't acknowledge the flakig and put that bitch in your friendzone.

Over/under is set at a week. =\

All you have to ask yourself is, do you really want to be with a girl who's going to flip out because you didn't spend enough money on her? That's some shit right there that you would have to deal with forever.
 
Be friendly but don't acknowledge the flakig and put that bitch in your friendzone.

You're probably right bud... But that ass...

Plus I really liked her. Haven't really digged a girl since a bad situation back in Oh Nine

On the subject of being Texan, I hadn't realized how Texan I was until I moved to Arizona for college :P
 
All you have to ask yourself is, do you really want to be with a girl who's going to flip out because you didn't spend enough money on her? That's some shit right there that you would have to deal with forever.

I think a fair question to ask him though is, did she spend a lot of money/do something fancy for him? I can sort of see why she might be a little pissed off if that's the case.

Ask her for book recommendations. You'll find out some more about her and it's an easy way to transition into small talk for you to ask her out/get coffee and talk about books.

You act like nothing happened. Obviously wasting your time meant nothing to them, so this should speak volumes about their character. If someone can't so much as call to cancel, you don't owe them the inadvertent ego-stroking by acting like you cared that they flaked.

Flaking is such an ugly characteristic. It extends further out to a lack of respect (for you and your time) and a lack of confidence/maturity in dealing (really, a call or even a text would've sufficed) with situations. You don't want that in a partner.

Yes, flaking is OKAY one time, but after that it shows the person doesnt respect your time, or more likely the person in general. If they felt it was that important to show up, they would have showed up.

And NT122, listen to the advice, and act normally. You are brave for trying and I respect that
 
Had probably the best Valentine's Day ever.

Third date with this girl, took her out to the most romantic event I can think of...an NBA game between the New York Knicks and Toronto Raptors. It was a great game, she really enjoyed it she hadn't been to a Raptors game in 10+ years and since I have season seats I figured why not.

Afterwards we went out for a quick bite to eat and then she drove me back to my workplace where I left my car. As we said our goodbyes something just clicked in my mind to just go for it, I have nothing to lose. I feel as if I could actually hear Bronzewolf in my mind telling me to not puss out and dive in.

Not going to say I was going in for some big passionate kiss, I was just going for a peck but she was totally into it and made it a lot more passionate then I expected.

Probably had the hugest grin on my face driving home.

Oh yeah, and congrats on the date ;)

If we're talking about male role models here, I'd rather advise to watch The Mentalist. Psych is good, but theres more to learn from Simon Baker's, Patrick Jane. Both are about cold reading and observation, but in comparison Psych has more comedic value than The Mentalist.

Primarily I watch Mad Men, Suits and Californication. They inspire great masculine male examples for men.
 
I've pretty much given up on online dating. It's so tedious and slow. The people who contact me I'm not really into, and the people I contact aren't really into me.

Though I came across one profile. Cute, into gaming, and other stuff I like. Seemed down to Earth. So I thought 'fuck it' and sent a message off. I thought it was pretty good. I guess...shit, I don't re-read my messages anymore, I over think that shit. Doubt I'll hear back as her reply rate is "very selective" but hey, maybe. One last one for the road, eh?
