and I ain't sayin' that to get down on myself or anything, it's just the truth
I was a good guy who had fallen into the habit of doing some extremely shitty things and she stuck around to help me fix those problems and I'll spend the rest of my days repaying her for it
For a little perspective a friend of mine met a girl the way Grey Ghost is about to.
She crushed him. Absolutely destroyed him and its been ten years and hes still afraid to just go and ask a girl out.
Now this girl might not be dangerously psychotic or even a girl but still be wary.
I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

My three female roommates all have their boyfriends over. And from my room I can hear all three couples having sex simultaneously. I don't think they meant to do it, but still...it's pretty funny. Funny and sort of depressing.
Good lord man I went on a date with a girl off of Facebook I had never met before and knew nothing about
It's good to be cautious but bro you are in this deep so far without being locked in a basement, just keep chugging along
I was there imagining all the horror stories about date rape and all the stuff that had been drilled into into me in high school... and... well, here we are 3+ years later.

I have probably asked this before.. but where does one start looking for someone to date? I'm 31, have never been on a date or had a real girlfriend, and don't like the bar scene... And all the scenes I do enjoy seem to have everyone taken already, because I live in a pretty small town. I mean, my self confidence is growing, but outside of hanging out at the colleges like some kind of creeper, I just don't know what to do.

At worst the girl will stand you up and you will feel a little silly for a few days.
At best you live happy ever after.
Probably somewhere in the middle is what will happen.
Congrats though!

UnbrokenEvaHIGH ON THE WIREBUT I WON'T TRIP ITRegistered Userregular
No I'm pretty sure we've covered the "at worst" scenario
ive been informed of where i stand with the one who shall not be named. no matter what happens, they're gonna stay in their relationship until they can come to a decision at such a point where they can make a decision.
the upshot is that in the interim, like all of this poly shit jammed down my fucking throat at all times, id be a side girlfriend until a determination can be made. which is fine, in that ive come to the conclusion that it still wouldnt really be my wheelhouse, but sure it can be someone else's until such time where maybe if down the road they can come to a decision about where they stand
so still free wheeling before i die of a heart attack at 25 or hit by a car at 25 or murdered at 25
this has taught me i know so much about the human condition, but i can't understand people at all. the lowest points in my life would have to be breaking off a relationship as an ex crying in bed, trying to talk me out of it. some bad shit happening to my best friend. and now, the thoughts that crawled around my head as i tried to stay hopeful in a conversation where i knew that i couldn't take back telling someone i loved them, they told me they felt the same, but they couldn't change something they wanted to change

Yeah, I met my wife through her friends on Myspace of all places about 8 years ago and started dating shortly thereafter. We just celebrated our 4 year anniversary back in September!

I am glad this recurring thread has a new story for us all to obsess over.
also @grey ghost the defence will now make their followup statement:
to state things clearly instead of vaguely and euphemistically: I just walked with her and we kissed at the point where our paths definitely diverged and she went like "godamnit, I have a boyfriend."
that policy, blacking out family members faces and my childhood photos and not naming names in that arena have served me well, though an ex wanted me to talk about her more. we lived in a small apartment so that wouldve felt weird
as far as not sharing childhood photos, the world is terrible. like if people rub one out to anything and everything you may have related to you, i feel like leaving childhood photos off the table is at least one thing that always made sense. like, whew
I was making panini at work yesterday, and had command of the stereo. Some pretty lass in a bluish purple shirt recognized "Chameleon," and we had a bro moment of "Great stuff, right? Herbie Hancock, yeah man!"
So that's my romance quota for the year.

You gave the girl your number. You're not allowed to freak out about that. Would I have given that out right away? No. Would I have responded to the note? Yes. That doesn't mean you're freaking out about women. That doesn't mean that you're desperate for a relationship. It means that you're kinda curious about where it could go and it's a fun thing.
Of course she's being coy...she put a note on a strangers car just the same as you responded to it. Go, enjoy some coffee and let us know how it goes.
Awhile back I got this note left on my car in the parking lot at work:
Did I respond? No...because it's just the type of thing one of my coworkers would do to fuck with me. (And the plates are a reference to Mass Effect)
If it makes you feel any better my reply would have been a note with "please love me" written on it a thousand times in increasing more erratic hand writing.
The world is a sea of loneliness. If someone throws you a life preserver you gotta cling to that shit for dear life.
While I know many people here have very good (and tragic) personal reasons for high levels of caution, I think this is being a bit over-applied to GG's case. Especially in the previous thread.
Putting your phone number on your car isn't a crazy stupid thing to do. You know who else does that? People trying to sell a car they park near the road. They paint it in huge white letters that everyone driving by can read. Plus people who have business cards and a job in which it makes sense to leave them everywhere.
In all probability, the note-leaver is either silly and having some fun with this (a positive attribute!) or is super-shy and resorting to such measures in lieu of direct confrontation (harmless). Sounds like it's probably the former, and it's two people, which is even more amusing.
Anyway, phone numbers are terribly easy to get ahold of. Many people's can be acquired with a simple Google search.

Ok so a) if I were to do that I'd get a disposable cell phone or a Google voice number that dead ended after I sold the car and b) that's my work phone number and I give zero fucks who has that as it's attached to my work address and is their problem, not mine
Hell fucking no I'm leaving my personal phone number on a random piece of paper in public
My girl housemate broke up with her no-good boyfriend last week and she is so much happier, its wonderful to see her all full of laughter and smiling all the time again, I'm really chuffed she did it. We were talking about it and after hearing how much of a jerk it was it reminded me what a good guy my fella is, I know it to start with but it really hits home how lucky I am to be respected and all that.
That doesn't mean you're freaking out about women.
I am basically never not freaking out about some woman, somewhere
Hey so you're rad and this in no way is an insult, but you probably need to fix this before doing anything
Fuckin'
probably, yeah
Voice of experience here duderino: take care of business now, not when you're in your 30s
I don't think this is always a time thing though.
I mean, yea, get yourself and your shit situated so you know where the baseline is and then you begin moving forward. There will be freaking out regardless, but it's just a matter of knowing how to get back to and what is your normal.

Love you too, scumbag.
And those are, like, two of the only retail holidays left.
Oh wait.. You meant holiday for retail people.
There was a time in my life where I worked on Thanksgiving and Christmas for like six years straight and I wasn't in retail.

wait, who? last I heard you were flirting with people on tumblr
also @grey ghost the defence will now make their followup statement:
to state things clearly instead of vaguely and euphemistically: I just walked with her and we kissed at the point where our paths definitely diverged and she went like "godamnit, I have a boyfriend."
and then nothing more happened, because of that.
as far as not sharing childhood photos, the world is terrible. like if people rub one out to anything and everything you may have related to you, i feel like leaving childhood photos off the table is at least one thing that always made sense. like, whew
but not really all that bummed
and then maybe slightly more bummed
and now I think I am a pretty bummed about that
So that's my romance quota for the year.
Right now it's just a full rage but that more jealousy then anything
I mean we weren't dating so she can do what she wants. But she felt the need to come over and tell me in person what happened in person
She must have knew I felt something

A list of things, should you be of the gifting persuasion

The worst thing you really can do is call me up at 4am going NACHSPIEL! when I'm asleep and my friends already do that.
Now you may puke.
Fuckin'
probably, yeah
