So I started watching Happy Endings thanks to this thread

 

[ciD_Vain]

sort of....

The bad thing is it could have gone much differently, he kept hinting he wanted to go eat or do something later on. But I'm on my last week of summer school with a Final this Saturday and I sort of stressed that, so I couldn't say "yeah lets go". And I guess he now knows I will be busy all week. sigh

Well at least you know that you're both interested in doing a follow-up date. Just don't make it seem like you're ignoring him or blowing him off. Make sure he knows you're interested in doing it again some time.

 

[Dr. Malik]

yeah I think I'm going to use the 2-3 day rule

 

[red13th]

What does a pic of your head have to do with you wearing boxers? lol

Men in boxer briefs are usually a good thing IMO.

 

[SpaceBridge]

yeah I think I'm going to use the 2-3 day rule

No. I would advise against that. You should text him and say you had a great time, and would love to do it again soon.

 

[SpaceBridge]

What about going commando?

 

[fernoca]

Agree with Space. Just a quick-follow, not this lengthy message about your lives together; but a quick "enjoyed meeting you, hope we can do something next week after my finals". That way it shows you have interest and also shows that you're focused on your studies right now.


EDIT:
In my case, I would've loved to recieve any follow up; but even when I decided to call I was just ignored. That's excluding the three times I was left waiting after agreeing to meet: "Oh yeah. Lets meet in front of the movie theater"... :/

Hehehe, another time was "funnier"; because the guy actually went to me and said "hi"; we talked some and he said "BRB"...yep. XD

 

[Alcoori]

I usually sen something right after the first date and then nothing for a couple of days. Not because of the stupid dating rules but because I wanna have a little time to think about the guy and the date without the "honeymoon" goggles.

In any case a little text about how you wanna do something after your finals can't hurt at all

He wasnt worth it. Not one bit, dont even waste you're mental synapses recalling this story. You need goal fernoca, that goal? GTFO of Peurto Rico

That sucks, but SpaceBride's right. Totally not worth it.

Who is that guy drawn in your avatar?!?

 

[SpaceBridge]

Hey Squall. Go back two or three pages and see the story as it developed.

 

[fernoca]

He wasnt worth it. Not one bit, dont even waste you're mental synapses recalling this story. You need goal fernoca, that goal? GTFO of Peurto Rico

Hehehe, don't worry..I don't mind I just laughed and still laugh about it.

For example, during college years there was something that I called "the circle of doom". XD
It consisted on the fact that for some reason, noone usually sat around me; unless the room was completely full.

For example I'm "[o]" and "[x]" means the empty seats:
[x][x][x]
[x][o][x]
[x][x][x]

Or in this case "[-]" means occupied seats:
[-][x][o]
[-][x][x]
[-][-][-]

Was sure that I didn't smell; since one of the few nice things I've always been told is that I smell nice. Maybe it was "negative aura"; even when in my mind I was like "would be cool if someone sat close to me to talk and stuff"; so I appeared as desperate or full of hate....while thinking "hahahaha, circle of doom activated".

Was fun..oh well. XD
Live and learn. It may sound like I'm really sad or something; but no biggie.

ciD needs to post moar!!..and now Marius_ too. And shirtless/boxerless pictures of SpaceBridge; or ciD sicne he was teasing earlier.


EDIT:
Wow, the avatar has been popular indeed. Multiple PMs since yesterday and people wondering about it. XD

LOL, yeah, the avatars certainly catch attention.

 

[ciD_Vain]

I specifically remember this circle of doom you speak of happen to this girl once in high school. the reason was very clear however as there was shit on her hair, literally.

Oh..darn.. poor girl though. No shit on mine...I think (and hope). XD

 

[origamipirate]

yeah I think I'm going to use the 2-3 day rule

Eh, I'd prolly send a quick text tomorrow, personally. Like "Hey, was great metting you. Sorry if I was distracted, finals on Sunday. Lets get together again after?"

But either way, glad it went well!

 

[Dr. Malik]

This whole gay dating is difficult, I mean if it was a girl then I would know it is expected for her to wait for my call. But since he is a guy as well, I feel like I should expect him to contact me, but I'm a guy too, lol

Also I'm reductant to text him, since I left it as

Me: "If you want to do this again sometime, call me"
Him: "ok, I'll text you"

so yeah, I feel like I left up to him to do it, idk

You can still text him and say that you had a great time. And thats it, so that he knows that you did enjoy his company (and chest hair).

I don't like the way he replied. But anyway, i do agree with SpaceBridge.

 

[fernoca]

By the way, from where's the guy Marius_? You said you loved the way he talked in spanish.

 

[Dr. Malik]

I don't like the way he replied. But anyway, i do agree with SpaceBridge.

Oh man, you are now fucking my brain. Ok if by tomorrow afternoon I dont hear anything, I will text him. Now I'm just going to bury my head in this book and try to erase these new doubts


fernoca, he is from Mexico. And I meant that he spoke it care-free unlike some people that I know that sound like a 'fresa'

 

[fernoca]

Mexico, nice. Hahaha.
You don't like fresitas?

Oh fuck, my bad man. I didn't mean to add any doubt, i just meant i don't like when i say "call me" or "text me" to people and they say they'll do the exact opposite.

 

[Dr. Malik]

Mexico, nice. Hahaha.
You don't like fresitas?

Who does? except fresitas

 

[HappyPuppy]

Y el morro es trollillo? Pinche vato que sale en citas y no tengo la menor idea de lo que estan hablando pero solo queria opinar. Me gustaria salir pero por el momento me veo apretado en lana, si tan solo tuviera un perro estos dias serian mejores .

 

[SpaceBridge]

Oh, its getting kinda sexy in here with all the spanish speak.

 

[fernoca]

Why you need a dog HappyPuppy?

 

[SpaceBridge]

Y el morro es trollillo? Pinche vato que sale en citas y no tengo la menor idea de lo que estan hablando pero solo queria opinar. Me gustaria salir pero por el momento me veo apretado en lana, si tan solo tuviera un perro estos dias serian mejores .

So I ran this through an online translator, and this is what came out: "And the morro is trollillo? Click vato that venta in appointments, and i have no idea what they are talking about but i just wanted to say. I would like to get out but for the moment i am busy in wool, if only you would a dog these days would be best ."

huh?

huh?

I got this on google translate:
And the nose is trollillo? Click dude out on dates and I have no idea what they are talking about but just wanted to say. I would like to leave but for now I am tight in wool, if only I had a dog these days would be best

 

[HappyPuppy]

Why you need a dog HappyPuppy?

I miss having a dog, I wish I could play with one and pet him. My 13 year old dog passed away this January and now I'm ready to have a dog but can't cover his necessities for the moment so I'm just going to have to wait it out. Wish I could rent a dog for a day or two.
One day that special Corgi will be mine .

lol spacebridge. I used a lot of Mexican slang so it fucks up online translators besides I want to keep this board Pg-13 .

 

[fernoca]

Hehehe...Yeah.
Happy said something like "I have no idea of what he's talking about, all I know is that is some guy going out on dates and I just wanted to say something. I would like to go out, but I'm short on cash. If I had a dog, things would be much better."

"Morro", "trolillo" and "lana" are slangs. Lana = money/cash.

@Happy: Aww, too bad about your dog. Get a puppy anyway.

 

[SpaceBridge]

Man I want a dog so badly. But I have a cat instead.

 

[HappyPuppy]

^ Correcting the first part in a rough translation

Is the guy you are dating the type of guy who only wears name brand clothes? You bastard that goes out on dates and I have no idea what you guys are talking about but I just wanted to participate.

Well, yeah mine was...tame.
You used to many slangs that we don't use in here (Puerto Rico). XD
Your sounds better too.

 

[ciD_Vain]

I have a new topic to discuss that's been kind of bothering me for a while. It's in regards to people being creepers while I'm working.

Too often have there been much older men try and hit on me while i'm working. They don't even do it in a way as to try to hide it, they straight up ask me to go with them places. They also smirk at me all creepy and this one time an old man caressed my hand when he was grabbing the change from me; afterwards, he asked me if i can go with him to "mix my VIA" (VIA is this powdered instant coffee at Starbucks that we sell)...all i could do was say no in a super awkward but sort of friendly way.

There's also this one regular that comes by every night and tips me every time, but he recently gave me around quadruple that. He just smiled and said, "i haven't tipped you in a while." and he gave me this creepy smile and wink.

My problem is I feel really uncomfortable most of the time, but i'm usually one to be really polite and just laugh it off and smile back. I just don't know how to make these people stop

My sister is a manager of a Starbucks here in Toronto. Im pretty sure something similar happened at her store. A creepy man would get a drink and then sit at a table and watch the male employees behind the counter. He also would ask them to come wipe his table as he sat at it. Im pretty sure they ended up filing official complaints to their DM and HQ which resulted in the banning of said customer. HAve you spoken with you manager about this?

No I have not spoken with my manager about it. I actually rarely ever see her since she does morning/mids and i'm pretty much strictly a closer. I guess I could give her a call.

Would it be too direct to tell the creepers something face to face?

 

[fernoca]

Well, ciD...
The most important question is:
Is "quadruple-tipster guy" hot?




Nah seriously, well not talking from personal experience; but based on friends that went through similar things (and me working on retail): Just continue been polite. If you feel it's getting out of control and is an impediment in your job; speak to your manager and inform him/her about the situation; and the specific customers you're having problems with.

No matter what, keep an eye out.

Would it be too direct to tell the creepers something face to face?

And nope, never recommended. Not at least before informing and letting your manager know about the situation.

I know from experience that Starbucks is very strict when it comes to situation like these, you need to have documentation of incidents, reported and recorded by direct superiors. I think what happened at my sisters store was that the male employee got fed up and confronted the patron. At which point creeper called HQ and filed a bad customer service report, which needed to get investigated. Its better that you speak to someone right away about this. I mean, like soon. No one should have to harass you at your work place, male or female.

LOL! He's not hot, but he hasn't done anything weird until that wink. He's usually really nice and I make sure to call him by his name when he's in.

No. Not one more time. You need to let someone know this his happening.

I've actually told a few of my supervisors but not my store manager. If you suggest to tell my manager now, then I will let her know tomorrow

 

[fernoca]

I'd love to meet ciD in person. With that girl seeing him and just knowing he's gay..and now the wave of male customers stalking him while working. Hot damn!!

Reminds me of "that movie" where he turns everyone gay...forgot the name.

EDIT:
Were the world mine. Really cool movie/musical.
Loved this part in the movie . XD

Well done. I've worked in retail and customer service for 10 years. I know the type of men these creeps are, whether they are harassing women or men, and I have a ZERO policy when it comes to them. And you should too.
