My friends (male fwiw) New Years resolution: be sluttier and find true love

Think I'm gonna take that one on too

Been chatting with this girl from tinder. Pretty good text chemistry, a lot in common, so I asked her out and we have a date on Saturday. Problem is, she texts A LOT. She even blew my phone up at like 9 am after just starting talking to her last night. I'm already worrying about getting friend zoned/text buddy'd/things getting stale before we even have a date, even though I think it's just because she's relatively young (22) and that's just what they do? (I'm 28) I do like talking to her though, but not really sure what the correct play is here?

If you're just trying to get laid, your odds are pretty damn good IMO. Easy win if that's the case. If you're looking for something serious, good f-ing luck. She's already being clingy and you're screwed. In my experiences, this is a very easy night of naked fun, just make your intentions known immediately after.

Also, yowsa, how about this Midwestern cold? My lord... -17 Sunday

I'm not even sure what I want. Originally I was planning on using tinder for a hookup, but I really like her on the surface because somehow we have so much in common and she's very much my type. I honestly thought I was being catfished by a buddy because we were so similar.

I'm attempting to be a little more distant from now until Saturday night but like an hour in she texts me something random, lol.

.

Yikes... honestly bro, most of the chicks on these sites are just wanting to get dicked down, even the ones who claim to not be. I'd say just stick to getting laid, and if it turns into more, cool. I'd just warn you that she already sounds clingy as hell. Not really sure how to help in this exact situation, but if I was you, I could almost guarantee getting laid, and probably even before your date.

I know, I was downtown on New Year's Eve & it was something like -11, just walking 4 blocks outside was brutal! Thankfully where I live I have underground parking but these super cold days are no fun at all.

It's miserable. Some people claim to like the cold. It's scenic, but 4 months of this crap? No thanks

This is worse than people claiming to like salad.

I'm a vegan and I don't like salad

In general I don't mind the colder temps in the winter but this is WAY TOO cold, once it warms up a little next week I'll be happy.

I like winter as a season, more fun fashion wise. Wouldnt live anywhere with more than standard(3 months) amount of winter weather though.

So I ran into the profile of this female comic I met about a year ago on CougarLife tonight. I've only seen her a couple times at/after shows in Boston, since she mostly does pay gigs in the middle of nowhere otherwise and lives on the outskirts of the city. She looked at my profile and insta-took down her pics

I don't know if it's more of an embarrassment thing or it unintentionally creeped her out, but what's the best play here? Asking her out on FB Chat or Twitter sucks pretty bad (where we've probably had the most direct contact). I have her business card with her email and #, but also seems like a bad time to initiate a text/call.

KPowers/amazin,

Salads are delicious, wtf?

as long as it's slathered in dressing

KP,

Do you only eat crappy salads w/ iceberg lettuce and bad produce covered in ranch or something?

I've eaten a lot of salads, I eat salad all the time, at least five times a week(LOL HOLIDAYS) baby spinach, romaine, mixed greens baby greens red onion cucumber celery, even adding stuff like carrots and red peppers... it really comes down to

-is there dressing on it?

but whatevz, to each his own.

Here's one thing you can do to pass the time here in the winter...

No it wasn't but I did pose a follow up question and my plan was to ask her out to a sushi place we had talked about on OKC messages

Yes this bothers me a lot as well and seems to happen a lot

Anyway Ill post text convo screens in a couple minutes

Easy to say while living in a city with no winter

Convo is in Spoiler

I know it's bad so go easy

Lazy, imo that looks like fine text convo. Nothing exceptional, but no glaring red flags in my book. I would have fully expected another response.

I agree that meetup has the tendency to get too big if it's a good one, and stay small if it's a lame one. About the only way a meetup can be good and stay small is if it is very niche. Where are you/what kind of age group are you in that meetup got kind of stigmatized. In my peer group I've never really heard of people calling it lame. Certain meetups may skew way old or boring or whatever, but the idea as a whole always seemed pretty socially acceptable, but maybe my friends are just those lame people going to meetup events .

Also, I think it depends on how you approach the meetup (or other such groups). For me, my goal is to go and try to get people out of the "meetup" setup as quickly as possible. And don't be afraid to just bounce on someone that you are talking to if they are boring you and you'd never want to hang out with them again.

I just let it be known that there are certain times when I just am not able to text, and I start this from the beginning. Do you work? If so then just say that you don't text while you are at work and then just only send texts during lunch or something. The key is to stick to it. I really hate being in a relationship where you are expected to be in texting contact all the time, but it starts because the guy is available at the beginning so he can't just stop all the sudden without causing a scene. Also, I almost never text anything non-important (basically anything except making plans within the next 24 hours) when I'm hanging out with someone else.

I play poker so I'm always available to text. I think I screwed the pooch by responding at 930 when I usually don't even wake up til at least noon. I really don't mind texting random bs and often enjoy joking around but really I'm more worried about running out of things to talk about before actually meeting up.
