Had a pretty fun time with a couple of the women from my class last night. We got dinner and then they came over for a bit since my apartment is close by. We kind of lost track of time talking so I dropped them off near where they parked after 11. It sucks that one of them has to move soon due to H1B lottery woes. Hanging out with them is relaxing. Prior to my getting together with my ex, I used to have a large group of women friends, but that kind of fell off during the relationship and even further once I moved to a remote position at work. I have a couple of really close guy friends but for the most part I prefer hanging out with women. It's nice to be rebuilding that a bit.
On the dating front, the girl from OKC and I might be going to Universal next weekend. I suggested a few things we could do tomorrow but she was vague in her response as to which plans she was agreeing to and I haven't had a response yet for clarification.
Hrm still no luck across the 5 various apps
And too hot to go outside and do things
One girl on OKC who I was quite hoping would respond since based on everything there I am dang sure we'd get along exceedingly well did not, alas, after viewing profile at 1am
So I may, may be planning a tentative, 2 week trip to Australia/New Zealand in December with some friends cause goddamn do I need a vacation. Considering how things usually go when I plan stuff, though, it most likely won't happen so I'm not getting my hopes up BUT IF IT DOES
What kind of stuff should I do? I think the itinerary right now is: fly to Brisbane, dick around in Brisbane for maybe a week, fly to Auckland, then dick around in Auckland for a week, then I come home. I think the dicking around can be loosely defined as drinking. Other than that we were all just gonna wing it. I do want to visit the museums and I think the Shire set from the LotR is not too far outside of Auckland so that's a must. Deffo gonna pet a quokka.
Also, if any PA'ers are near those spots would anybody want to meet up and get fabulously drunk?

If you come to Australia you HAVE to go to Darwin and engage in some doppelganger shenanigans with Veldrin!
Post in the Australia/NZ thread for proper local knowledge (link below). What kind of shit do you feel like doing? There's a lot of touristy stuff on the Gold Coast. December is not the best time of year to hit up QLD, imo - but then South Carolina means you're used to dank and humid I guess.

I'll most likely be out of the country in December
Why is my natural reaction to seeing a cool lady on OKC an overwhelming urge to sign off?
Because you don't like change and it would be a scary change if you wanted to date her.
Pretty much, I guess, yeah. Why's it gotta be so hard though? Millions of people manage to do this kind of thing every day.
Everyone feels it, but some feel it to a stronger degree. I still feel like that, but you gotta accept you fear stuff - just ride it out because fighting it is the exhausting part, go "okay this is scary as balls, lets push through it". Its okay for your head to go "fuuuuuuck this shiiiiiittttttt" the whole time.

Up until a week ago I had never really thought about going to Australia so I don't really have an idea of things I'd want to do. And yeah dank and humid is pretty much my constant state of existence. I will check the thread.

It'd be like Parent Trap but instead of adorable children it'd be large, hairy men!

It's so much easier to just be a wuss though... :P

Alt post: because you're still worried about people in high school making fun of you for daring to date someone above your "league". That shit stays with you for a long time.
Whenever I open up a dating site profile it takes me a few days to remember that I'm too disgusted with myself when I think someone seems attractive or fun and interesting.
I don't send messages usually because I honestly know I'm not what these ladies deserve. I know that because I'm boring and gross. I just feel like I wish I could turn off my need for companionship.
One day you will find you Dr. Alec Holland, Liiya.

Which is cool!
I thought we were at least getting to be good friends, but i think we exchanged 2 sentences this weekend. And both on my doing.
On the dating front, the girl from OKC and I might be going to Universal next weekend. I suggested a few things we could do tomorrow but she was vague in her response as to which plans she was agreeing to and I haven't had a response yet for clarification.

So, nothing like the Parent Trap actually.
Gasp

Can't both be seen in the same place, eh?
The jig is up!
I feel you
I mean, now I'm just messaging them all
But no one responds anyway
Whenever I see cool ladies in any context my main thought is sadness in general lol oh wells
Trying is important at least
Gym
I wish my gym was closer to home and I had more time to spend there though
You know what I don't love
This over 100 heat index
Part of me hopes they don't respond. Weirdly enough, it's not messaging them that scares me, it's the possibility that they might reply.
Yesterday I had to replace an exterior door frame in 111 heat
Today I had to paint the front of my house in 106 heat
I'm wiped out

because I'm pretty cool.
Sounds like classic self sabotage. I've been there.
You can't fail if you make it so it never happens. Best to just power through.
but they're listening to every word I say
I don't send messages usually because I honestly know I'm not what these ladies deserve. I know that because I'm boring and gross. I just feel like I wish I could turn off my need for companionship.
Books and talking is a lot of theory that is very difficult to practice is all.
Sorry for being a bummer.
It's okay to be a bummer. We just know you're a better person that you give yourself credit for and want you to be able to see it too.
I say supposed to because four of our seven members bailed an hour from its start time, so it got cancelled.
I was pretty upset about that.
But the evening turned itself around with my roommates and I playing badminton... Till we launched the only shuttle-cock onto the roof...
We followed that up by playing alcohol-poker and four men drank a handle of vodka in 2 hours.
Such was my Saturday evening.
Swamp Thing???
I opened up my profile again and got a mutual "like" with a lady in Indiana like instantly.
Whoops.
Oh ho ho!
He's a beefy walking plant! I thought you liked plants!
