    I don't know what you mean, but it had the cadence of a joke.

    the answer.
    I feel like a bit of a cheater when people talk about filling out their profiles to sound positive and confident and happy, because mine is self-deprecating and flippant as can be, and... it works out. Like, here's my 'I'm really good at' section:
    fretting over small decisions, and deferring those decision to other people (this is a lot harder when you're the boss)
    walking really fast
    arriving places early (goes well with walking fast)
    tripping over uneven sidewalks on account of my huge feet
    expressing myself in 140 characters or less

    I mean, I guess it shows I don't take myself very seriously, which people might be into. My self summary also opens with "a nice handsome boy, who leans towards the quiet side but has no qualms with chatting over a beer or two." Quick, simple, and (hopefully) sounds intriguing.

    I feel like if you can't condense your profile into quick bullet points and a few sentences, you're gonna have issues. I skip profiles that have an essay for each section.

    Maaan, most of my favorite bands are from the 60's and 70's. I love a lot of music by some pretty not-great people.

    In German, you form the feminine form of some nouns by adding -in, so Herr becomes Herrin

    And ß is not a b, it's a special letter for an S sound - so "groß" and "los" rhyme with each other!

    After some more badgering I explained as tactfully as I could to my mother that I didn't want her picking my girlfriend for me

    She started to explain why that was stupid but then my dog interrupted her by jumping up, getting a nice mouthful of speed scrotum, and playfully nipping at it

    I'm still laying down

    Of when?
    Classic rock was not really a thing when I was growing up. As there were stations that played 50's and 60's music
    But there was also stations that played Metal! When Zrock went away and was replaced by Christian Country I searched in vain for another station to listen to. With Nirvana hitting it big I found college radio and alternative music.


    But Classic rock stations here are interesting and lame. They seem to only play music in 2 hour or 4 hour blocks, SO it's neat to hear something like barracuda only to have it followed by an 80's song like I ran so far away

    the confession tumblr is technically still active, I dunno if crwth actually checks it anymore but if you don't mind probably not getting a response then you could vom a confession into it

    man I don't think this lady I've been talking to is interested
    then again how do I know, I haven't dated for years now
    and the very thought of actually asking her to coffee or something is giving me mad anxiety, so I think I need to reassess myself before I do this whole thing

    tldr: I am cowarding out

    Fuck reassessing yourself you're just gonna talk yourself out of something that might be fun.

    Let her decide if she's not interested, tam. Don't preempt the lady just cause you got brain probs.

    You should do the ask her for coffee thing

    I mean, I talk myself out of asking people out basically every time and just kind of let conversations taper off and die because the asking is super nerve wracking but I'm pretty sure asking people out is still the best thing to do

    then at least you'll know if she is interested + also it is practice asking people out

    Tam as someone who also has anxiety

    Think of this as a win win

    Either she says yes and hooray a date

    Or she says no, which sucks in the short term, but it will let you actually experience rejection instead of just being afraid of it, and it will be less of a bogeyman for you in the future

    Either you get what you want or you get some actual experiential data on what the worst case scenario feels like

    Nothing to lose!

    Fair enough, I take your point.

    I sent her a message "hey so would you like to get some coffee with me some time next week?"

    I'm off to find a well to go sit at the bottom of. Goodbye forever, everybody!
