I'm still waiting for chip to clear up his last post

I'd prefer no dudes message me

ysos

sometimes i'll tell girls where I live I'm just visiting because they'll put out faster.

Ended up going against the thread and just came from work with said tie. I dont mind standing out (and while I'm not in super good shape, all my clothes are tailored/fit properly, thank you 2p2 for that revelation). Most guys were either in t-shirts or checkered dress shirts (am I weird for thinking checkered shirts seem kind of beta/IT drone? Always go solid colors).

First table was more guys than women, took a few rounds of reading people and their humor before I started crushing at Cards Against Humanity. One woman was very attractive but said almost nothing the entire time, another was more concerned with the Mets game.

Switched tables, moved by the organizer with quiet chick, another girl there lived 20 miles out of Boston so not interested, and another was a model that was already making date plans with another guy at the table. Asked the organizer if I could just switch tables myself, and did so.

Third table, I was actually across from the 95% match OKC advertised would be there, but her friend turned out to be really cool. We kept picking each other's cards every time, and us and 4 others closed down the bar just swapping horror stories and tips. Another girl got her # to be friends, a guy got her # that's in the same business is her, but lives 30 miles out of the city, is under her age range by 5 years, and was way too into comparing how much they each get for their 401ks. I pulled her aside, told her I thought she was the funniest, coolest girl there, and that I wanted to get to know her better. Got her email and #, she blushed. We'll see what happens. I've got a long way to go, but I'm getting there.

FWIW, she's a 32 y.o Russian engineer (no accent at all) that looks like a thicker Zooey Deschanel

black club, Blue Martini if any Vegas people are familiar

I've never posted in this thread because if I did, I was afraid I'd never stop.
However, I will say that every serious relationship I have had in the last 20 years, except one, began from online dating.

The woman I lived with in LA, was engaged to, and moved to Vegas with: met on Match. My current GF of two+ years: met on Match.

It really is a fantastic way to meet someone with similar interests.

Is it just me or is anyone else getting the usernames of people who want to meet you on POF in the subject of the email?

Been happening for the past day or 2 - I'm UK based btw.

Dom,

I like how Vegas profiles point out whether or not you should message if you're not a local. It's like the 'booty call' disclaimer everywhere else. If she says tourists are OK, uh, yeah, short term casual is cool with her.

chatting with a nice prospect since the weekend, asked her out a few days ago, between our schedules it wasnt looking like anything this week or even next was gonna work. i said i had a show tonight (i produce and host a comedy show) and i could meet her after the show. she asked if she could come to the show and we could get drinks after. guess i better be pretty funny.

I have a CMB date tonight and another tomorrow. Also a third match that I'm planning on waiting until Sunday to message(so I can see how the dates and Halloween weekend play out) It seems to have gotten better for me since they added the distance filter.

I don't see myself inviting anyone I'm dating to one of my shows until we are Facebook-official kind of official. I'm in sketch, so I'm doing way crazier things onstage than standups/storytellers/improv (like getting whipped by John Madden or eating raw Ramen and spitting it out at someone)

even if they say no tourists message them anyway. tell them you're from out of town. some will say "blah blah blah you didn't read my profile. men are such *******s" etc etc and some other pointless gibberish.

but some will hang out anyway and be dtf.

yeah i wasnt really expecting it, but i appreciated how eager she was to hang out instead of just playing the scheduling game and not seeing each other for 10+ days for a first date. its also probably different storytelling vs sketch, since shell actually just be hearing me tell something about myself which, i imagine, ill be able to then say like "ok now you have to tell me something about yourself"

will report back. first i gotta write out my bit.

update: she just cancelled saying she was feeling sick. less pressure on my set at least.

Wonder what actual % of the time someone cancels a date for being sick, is when they're actually sick. I can recall doing this once in 16 years of dating, and one I went on anyway while sick (we didn't make any contact, and it was more exhaustion/headcold than anything else).

id think it would really break down by age

18-26: 5% are actually sick
26-31: 25% are actually sick
32-36: 35% are actually sick
36+: always sick but go out anyway cause time is ticking

^Divide each of those percentages by 10...at the very least.

Not sure what to make of my CMB date tonight. She was laughing at my jokes at dinner, we went for a short walk outside and into/through the grocery store afterwards, put my arm around her much of the time and she seemed cool with it. Then went inside the frozen yogurt shop for a bit to get her number since it was kinda cold. Said we should hang out again and she said "Sure" but wasn't sure if she meant it. Then on the way to the car I got the "nice meeting you" and she did the opposite of linger(though it might have been because of cold/wind).

She was kinda cute but she didn't seem to have many hobbies or like going out. I kinda like em more extroverted than she seemed. I'd probably go on a second date if I had no better options, but since she didn't seem interested I'll probably see how tomorrow goes and if any of my CMB/Tinder matches nibble.

Nibble? That almost sounds as bad as moist. Do you really want a girl that nibbles on you (not literally), or do you want one that wants the whole damn pie?

What's the point in going out again if she seemed cold, is boring, no hobbies, and you didn't at least kiss her on date 1?

Self validation

Obviously if there's no connection at all then don't go on a 2nd date, but I'm of the belief that if it was at least a neutral date I'll ask her out on a 2nd because a lot of times people aren't themselves, are shy, are nervous on a 1st date, especially via online, if they're new to it (or you don't know if they are, etc)

She said it was her first CMB date and she thought Tinder was weird/creepy so she probably hasn't met more than 1-2 guys there. She just started a job here in July and graduated right before that so she might be pretty new to going on actual dates.

That being said, I should probably avoid the awkward ones since I still struggle reading the signals of the socially adept girls.

maybe if I have a slot open I'll experiment with going for a Netflix and chill date since she seems to prefer chilling to going out.

CMB gave me a ****load of good bagel options to "take" today instead of the usual 0-2 out of maybe 8-10 options.) I ran out of beans and am considering buying more since the odds seem to be better there. Wonder if they're trying to effectively become a guys pay women get on for free app.
