Good luck, foatie!

Always nice to have something exciting like that

I almost feel like less is more in these spots. You had a great date, which is awesome, but let things develop slowly. Keep chatter to a minimum, set up the next date, and go from there. I know the natural reaction is that it feels good to keep chatting with her all the time, talking on the phone, etc., but I think it can kill some of the momentum and also put a lot of pressure on the next date.

Let her feel like she's chasing you a bit and vice versa. If she likes you as much as it seems, then she's not going anywhere unless something comes up that's out of your control (like getting back with an ex, met another guy right before you, etc.), in which case it wouldn't have mattered how you played it. I know the cliché is that the fun is in the chase, but I do think there's a lot of truth in it. That being said, I've been in your spot a couple times and usually react the same way.

In any case, good luck and hope it works out!

Fossil,

Ever been diagnosed with an STD?

Howard,

There's a reason you can PM somebody. Try using it henceforth.

I always thought of froot saklad as more of a deposition and settlement type of Howard

Preach my guy!

If someone is founding himself in depression, then one should definitely check RSD on youtube. It will make you a better version of yourself

Fossilkid, spoken like a true Guru.

undertitle suggestion for Fossilkid!

i always thought lil raymer should go there

That's how I came up with it. Didn't really put much thought into it and I broke into poker about the time Raymer won the WSOP and we share the same first name so it seemed like a fit.

Crazy to think that's already 15 years ago. Guess I'm no longer a kid anymore.

^^^^^

Why the avatar change Fossilkid? Is that the logo of a MEX soccer team?

Yep, Pumas in CDMX.

Fossil,

My apologies for asking personal questions ITT. El D was taking me out to dinner last night and we drank more than I’m used to. Your escapades came up and we were wondering out loud what risks you’re fading.

We of course wish you well in all respects

Your friend

Howard

No worries Howard! Sent a PM your way.

I'm surprised my escapades seem that out of the ordinary. I guess I read too much of the travel forum where a lot of the guys in SE Asia are having sex (and often bareback) with a handful of different hookers or Tinder gals on a weekly basis.

I tend to prefer 2-3 solid FWBs who I know will be a great lay rather than a new girl each weekend. Although when I'm traveling I suppose I get a bit crazier.

About to get on a 2.5 hour flight, I guess that settles the question of what I should read on the plane!

If you are fairly sexually active, catching something is almost inevitable imo. I'd be amazed if he hadn't. I know I got burnt in my 20s. Not fun, but them's the breaks.

100% this.

Considering El D's rep, I wonder why he would be curious as if he's not experienced

you think so? you saying just once i a blue moon or potentially 2+x a year?

wait why would they do this? arent they scared of the risks?? wtf am I missing., do they just think anything can be cured within a 5min period??? id be scared

Funny story, I can remember back when I was pretty active getting a call from a chick who was like, "uh I think you need to go get yourself checked."

And of course the thing I had to get checked for was pretty much the worst one you can imagine. And no, not that one, the actual worst one...

So like was she rabid? And since you weren’t up on your rabies shots (who the **** is?) how painful were the stomach injections to cure it???

Also lol damn of course the rabid chick was hella into biting

When I went to SEA I made sure to get my rabies vaccinations. Supposedly in Phnom Penh (Cambodia's capital) the first two rabies shots cost $20 USD but the third can cost $2000+ depending on supply. You only need the third if you haven't been vaccinated against rabies.
