That's the cliffs.

And for those curious: she's planning on moving here and we recently filed for the papers for her to be here. Possibly be married in 8-9 months if all goes well.
You're engaged to Maidelife(sp?)!. How has this not TR in 4life?

Full story please!

Ok erdit, In searching I found some old threads about you guys. not sure How I missed them all. I think many people don't know though. Maybe 1 full updated TR would be nice.

I stayed there for a month. Our day to day stuff seems fine. We have our issues, but we're a good match for each other. We're not needy. The main thing is that we genuinely love each other and we enjoy each other's company. Sure, it could be considered risky, but when you know, you know. We think we know.

Madeliefje, yeah. There's a few TR threads made by her, matjoez, and myself. I think pawntificator made one also. We haven't officially made a tr/update thread because we have a while to wait with immigration process times, and she could get denied. We don't want to jinx anything. I'm 100% sure that there will be one when she moves and for the wedding. All of the omg'ers know about what's up.

I'll find links to the threads later for pics and random tr's.

Last night I arranged a date with a girl for next Tuesday evening. Should I text her at all over the weekend as a week without even making small talk seems like a biggish gap?

I've recently been made aware that at least half of my dates have thought I was lying/joking about my career history. My life is just too awesome to be believable. I might need to come up with a new way to handle the subject though.

I had the exact same set up last week and wasn't planning on contacting her aside from confirming we were still on the day of... She ended up texting me Sunday night for some small talk.

I'm thinking it really depends on how your conversation has gone though from first msg to setting up the date. In my case it was 3 fairly lengthy exchanges so I'm assuming she felt comfortable texting me on the Sunday. If your conversations were brief I would lean towards going the confirmation text route the day of.

I think people being douchebags and posting pictures of ugly girls that dare message such mighty men is against the spirit of this thread. Instead of trolling her why don't you talk to a prettier girl?

I thought the spirit of this thread was to flip out over people misusing the word 'average' in the body type field?

I would never post anything with a ugly girl who was just messaging me and saying what's up. This is a little different I think. Sorry won't do it again.

I messaged this woman a few days ago. She happens to live within a few miles of me and I live in middle of nowhere. We exchanged several messages within 24 hours. They were actually far lengthier messages then I would normally send as she was responding with pretty lengthy messages herself. Our average message was probably 150 words or so. On our fourth message, I suggested we get together for dinner (she doesn’t drink). She hasn’t responded in 24 hours (she had been responding within a couple hours). She’s been online a lot since then. Does anyone bother sending a follow-up message tomorrow afternoon or Saturday? Or just let it go? I’m not really that vested in her, but she’s basically my last prospect I was working as I’ll be out of town for a couple weeks.

I would endlessly ponder whether I should or should not and then delete the entire conversation thread and move on.

On a similar subject is it ever not a bad idea to ask a girl out for a second date after she's already said indicated that she's not interested? Does a month or more passing since the initial decline change the answer at all?

Idk I think the no drink thing is a deal breaker anyways if you like to drink. I would move on.

She just responded. This is the last woman I'm going out with for a few weeks, so I'll just see how it plays out. It will be nice to have a 5-minute drive instead of an hour for once.

Also, I am a half step away from raging alcoholic, but her not drinking was actually a positive for me. The less alcohol I'm around the better.

Signed up for POF Monday, girl immediately messaged me saying hi, and then messaged me 10 mins later because she saw I was still online. Switched to texting and she even initiated quite a bit (almost to point of annoyance). Now 24 hrs after she agreed to a date, her POF profile is down and she hasn't responded to my text. LOL online dating.

In all seriousness, POF seems to be way better than OKC in my area. Having good luck with some of the opening messages ITT. This message has been working great for number and initiates banter when it's not actually Thursday: "This pof stuff is getting too nerdy for me. Shoot me a text ###-###-#### or your nr. I promise I'm only going to stalk you on Thursdays"

No no, didn't use the candy line. Response rate has been high with the "how could you view my profile and not send a message..." one

I've taken a break from making new contacts for a couple weeks, didn't think it was that long but I just went to my search page and my search for 5 star guys from RI was still in there. Good news, looks like you've been upgraded.

niceeeeee
Also, I've never posted this crap but here we go. Up to this point things were good, I asked her for her number earlier and she blew through it. Round 2 she blows it again and I just ignore her, then *time passes*
__
KP: I'm just starting season 2, 1 was kinda slow at the beginning but then I got into it. What's Your Number?
Her: Season 4 is the best by far

*time passes*

Her: Did you get through season 2?
KP: Lol nah 4 episodes in then passed out.


Her: That's no good. Omar is the ****
KP: lol I like Strings. It's funny cuz I've seen the Office 10000 times and he's in it as a very professional man and it's so funny seeing him say **** you ***** 100 times lol.


Her: Hahaha McNulty is a **** up but I loved him too
KP: McNulty reminds me so much of myself it's weird.


Her: Haha how so??
KP: idk. hard to say really, dude's legit for sure


Her: Absolutely. Sarcastic ****. Just the way I like them
KP: true that. and man, dude hustles and dude struggles


Her: That he does. I miss that show
KP: yeah it's good. You ever get in to Dexter? Or Breaking Bad? Two more amazing shows.


Her: No. Wish I had. My parents are obsessed with both and they always talk about them. I should get Netflix so I can catch up
KP: It's like $7 a month you really should. Dexter isn't on Instant anymore, glad I have the blu rays


Her: Well you might just have to let me borrow those then...
KP: lol maybe


Her: Ruuuuude
KP: They're on the comp I just copy the discs from Netflix and give em back


Her: Ohhh shady business
KP: lol ya. 275 blu-rays and probably 200 DVDs, **** it! Sick library on my comp and it's linked so I can watch it on the TV if I want to, too.


Her: Badassssss
KP: I'm such a nerd, just don't tell anyone ok.


Her: Neverrrr
Her: Although, really, who would I tell??
KP: idk, people you know?


Her: Haha yea, this guy , I thought he was cool **** until he told me about his nerdy movie collection..
KP: whoops, you accidentally sent that to me instead of someone else you know. Now I'm on to you


Her: catch me if you can
KP: meet me on the corner of main street, we're throwin down like in West Side Story.

be cool cat, be cool
*snap*
*snap*


Her: Haha wow
KP: lol I gambled with the old school musical routine on that one, guess I lost. f it, no regrets


Her: Impressive though. Jack of all trades
KP: The warm weather is officially here, shirtless in my own place. Perfect!


Her: Jealous!! I'm inside all day. Wishing I was on the beach. Shirtless Prob wouldn't work out for me in front of all my first graders...
KP: lol I'd have the biggest crush on you ever if you were my schoolteacher.


Her: I'm sure I could still teach you a few things...
KP: You think so huh? What happens if I can't learn it?


Her: I'm a very good teacher
KP: Maybe one day I'll find out


Her: I thought I was told that I was taking you out for drinks
KP: Oh yeah. I forget when


Her: I don't think that decision was ever made
KP: Let's do it Sunday, at 7. Malted Barley so I can get a banana bread beer


Her: haha i love how you tell me a day and a time rather than saying hey, when are you free Kelly? where would you like to go?
KP: aw thanks, that's sweet of you to say

Her: I'm really ****ing sweet, what can I say
KP: You can say yes sir, see you then.


Her: Now I'm calling you sir?? Don't you know I run ****?
KP: not yet ya don't

Her: You going to get my number? Or do i have to run ****?

Her response after all that time passed? Who knows, doesn't really matter.

Her sudden interest? Probably the comparison to McNulty, that was an expert move. He's not so perfect that you come across as bragging, but women want to sleep with him.

What do I say back to this bull**** question? Just give a bull**** response back or ignore. I have plenty of responses to give back that can completely ignore her question.

Me: Blah blah blah about my current town (she had asked). Her profile said something about baking, so I said something about being an avid consumer of scotcharoos.

Her: Blah blah blah about where she lives

Scotcharoos, eh? I must say, this match is starting off quite well. I make pretty delicious scotcharoos - or so my friends and family say!

Anyway, what brings you to this gem of a website?



EDIT: She is obviously being playful with the "gem of a website" comment, I could play off that rather than answer her question. She scored points by correctly saying anyway instead of anyways. I like educated people!
