pretty much. i actually just woke up and wrote this while eating. I wasnt going to go out last night, but decided I was productive enough during the day.

I would have time for a 1 hr dinner or whatever, but I dont like dates like that so I'd rather wait til I have enough time to do something thats actually fun. You eat enough dinners with the person youre dating that I dont find it important to squeeze in a few extra on the first couple dates.

He's younger than me, but he's gramps, so I still win!

idk what it is but punk music (other than most country, well pop country) is one of my least fav genres. maybe its because i havent been to a live show where i feel like it's more appealing than just sitting on my couch listening through headphones

if she likes to text that should be fine. if shes one of the rare girls that doesnt like texting or would prefer phone then i guess you could go that route

i would definitely not wait very long before establishing some sort of contact/conversation even if the date wont be for a few weeks

doesnt have to be much and id just feel her out for how much she wants to talk depending on her responses etc. but establishing contact first is probably something you should do and then just go from there. doesn't have to be today but i wouldn't wait until next weekend either.. its good if its still fresh

I would find her on Match.com and message her on there. Lead with something along the lines of "You look interesting, but I'm pretty skeptical that everyone on here is a guy." Traz told me that one.

lol i like that. i was going to ask if you were friends on facebook but the match.com idea is good.

Started listening to Dylan around age 14-15, and somehow my listening pretty much paralleled his career, beginning with the acoustic stuff, progressing through the 60s electric incredibleness, and then falling completely in love with Blood on the Tracks and Desire. The Rolling Thunder Review period is still my favorite Dylan stuff, but I almost never listen to him anymore.

I'll let this stand for my Christian period.

Pat Martino is my favorite musician.

congrats on setting up your first date, CDL!

this must be a proud moment for you

lol. I like the match.com idea a lot, but im not paying to join a dating site to message a girl I already know.

After skimming some of the mbp oot thread and seeing how many poggers posted in it I knew you guys would have great advice.

so I'm in WalMart with hifi to get a last minute bathing suit

She tells me she has a giftcard: when she was in Georgia, Systo sold it to her for 10 bucks so he could rebuy back into a poker game. Hifi hates walmart, but did it for him

She hasn't been to walmart since

We used it today

****ing card had $8.50 on it.

Nice scam systo

Anyway, it's kinda tricky scheduling a date 3 weeks in advance with a girl you've only met a couple of times, because you guys may kinda forget that each other exists by then.

I would just try to speak with her a few times in between now and then to keep the vibe fresh. There are simple ways to filter her out along the way, i.e. I would just start off by texting her "hey [name], what's up." If she cares to go out with you she'll respond. I'd prob just try to get her facebook or skype and chat with her a bit every now and again, keep it fun + flirty, etc. In a couple of weeks ask her if she's still free on the 16th or whatever, assume that the date is happening cause you look kinda weak if you say something like "sooo, you were serious about that date, right?"

You could also get in a back and forth text banter, but that's kinda meh imo. Dunno why, I just always feel dumb exchanging too many texts with a girl.

Or you could just say "hey I have time for a quick study break, wanna grab a drink" and meet up with her and at least kiss her to get the romantic vibes going, and then you can try to close the deal the next time you see her when she returns from her trip.

I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but the premise is roughly that some very similar situations arise in the wake of Stu's impromptu bachelor party. There are certainly a fair number of parallels, but that sort of adds to the humor. They aren't trying to fool you.

Dean has good advice but I think most women like texting so text is fine too.

Absolutely awful. Just awful.

this, mostly.

You can say "hey, i'm planning on having some time for a study break tonight. Want to grab a cup of coffee?" Or "Fun day stuck in the library studying, blech. I'll probably be done around 9, though. Grab a drink?"

edit: i think the hey whats up is pretty bad without history -- and unless you're asking her to do something now. I like to set something up ahead of time usually, in case she's afk when I text her. I know, I know. You young kids are never afk.

edit2: i'm also in a very very LTR, so wtf do I know

Fine, give awful advice. Be boring.

You have begun things by demonstrating that pretty much anything is more important than going out with her so whatever you do it's starting from a deep hole.

Yea Idk I feel like I am pretty good with girls/never got into the pua stuff/married a pretty good catch and think mine and others advice, which maybe is boring is still solid. Gimmicky stuff seems like it would backfire now that there's already been a sort of repoire built

Meeting girls on pog >> meeting girls on match

FREE DEAN!

Too soon

whatd dean do?

he's not banned afaik
