    Well 20q girl emailed me saying after seeing the trailer for Star Wars she would like to see the movie with me but lamented since we live far part it would be quite hard for both of us.
    But also when I freely admitted to her what is usually a conversation interest killer for me that being the black sheep of my family she said she found that odd yet had never really meet anyone who was basically cut off from the family .
    I find that gave me hope as usually I get talked to about attempting to patch it up with them or something else.

    Man, I don't really like kids. I can't do the whole "kid talk" thing and we just don't mix.

    But

    The fact the new Star Wars movie is coming out soon I find myself wishing I had a kid(s) I could take to the theater like my dad took me and then watch with pride as their newly found spark of imagination and creativity and unbridled joy at the idea of space wizards and good vs evil blossoms and I ended up buying way too many toys.

    Can you rent a kid? Just for maybe like, 4 days?

    You can rent mine.

    What's the going rate for children these days?

    Is it still a ha'penny a day?

    Free if you bring him back in the same or better condition than you found him.

    Racing stripes/ghost flames make everything better.

    Indeed last summer I got those blank my little pony things at ToysR and did van art on one of them while at work I braided it's hair in a dread or macramé with Wizard riding a corvette on it's haunch
    I was told by many of my co workers it was a girl's toy and what I was doing was wrong.

    Maybe I'm just embarrassed. I fall for people way too easily.

    My favorite is the advertisements that read your IP and figure out where you are.

    "Hey sarukun, these blonde ladies are in Taiwan three miles from you and want to chat!"

    No, advertisement for a dating website, they aren't and they don't.

    Having been in a similar situation...did you name a particular place and time, or ask when was good for her? Cause do the first one, the second one puts the onus on her to schedule.

    Agree - "are you free to do x on x date" is a thousand times more attractive than "do you want to do unspecific activity sometime in the future?"

    These ads are hilarious because the locations they usually give in my case are 100- or 200-souls villages in the middle of nowhere

    On the flip side, some of those things are easier to obtain (or fake) than others and sometimes one can make up for lack of the other.

    You can be confident and considerate at the same time, I think. Something like, "Hey, would you be interested in doing <activity> at <time> with me? If that doesn't work for you, I'm open to other ideas too."

    The answer to no cheekbones is the same as no cleavage: makeup and lighting.

    Fun fact: all of Kiera Knightley's cleavage in the first Piratea movie was accomplished with makeup and lighting.
