Screw Being Sad - I Have a Date!

You boys.

Some of you may remember my I Got Dumped - Cheer Me Up thread from about a month ago; for those who don't, it's there in the link, but the thread is pretty dead so posting would be pointless and would probably annoy the mods. Anyway, in case you couldn't tell by the thread title ... the time for being sad is over, because I have a date!

Now here's the dorky thing: we met on MySpace. I was bored/lonely/being emo one night and decided to just randomly message women in the area; she was the only one who responded that didn't come across as a total b****. So we chatted on Yahoo the next night for about an hour and exchanged numbers; I called her today and we talked again for 20 minutes before I had to get back to work. We talked again on Yahoo tonight and hit it off even better than before. So we set up a date when it's convenient - she works two jobs (manages at one) that take up most of her time, and the past three weeks I've worked six 10- to 12-hour days, so I'm usually pretty beat by the time I'm done.

So I hate to be "that guy," because I've always been annoyed by him, too, but I have to ask: having only gone through the biggest heartbreak of my life less than a month ago, am I moving too fast? Am I only really digging this chick because she's not my ex? Don't get me wrong - in no way am I ready to call her my girlfriend after one date that hasn't even happened yet, but I had forgotten how exciting this time in a person's life can be. Now I know what the big deal was back in high school ...

As for the plans: we're going to play pool for sure, since she's excited to "kick my ass at something," as she so eloquently put it; got any other suggestions for someone who is broke as hell and hasn't had a "first date" in well over a year?

I will now accept your kudos and congratulations. Or your scorn. Whichever works best for you.

Ok.

It was a fair trade. She broke my heart, so I broke her ovaries.

Just be thankful it wasn't you break it you bought it..

Wow, I go away for a few hours, and my thread becomes a place for the mods to come hang out.

Anyway, yeah ... date was rescheduled for Thursday, and I may be re-thinking the talk-with-the-ex thing. But thanks, everyone.

Deus, HMark, Kar, etc. ... you can keep this thread if you want. I'm pretty much done.

Well...at least it's happening for one of us.

Some chick found me on my MySpace awhile back...and since then I've tried setting up two dates (the latest one being tonight) and both times...went through the frickin' toilet.

I swear I couldn't get laid if the last chick was on the Earth, just had a nuclear war, I was the last man on the planet and she was ovulating for the last time.

well duh, there wouldn't be a point if she were ovulating for the last time, one kid can't repopulate the world

Problem is if the kid were a girl, then she would ovulate too...see where im going here?

Matt I have two very important questions for you

1- Did you get the ring back?

2 - Is the new girl hot?

This thread useless without pics. Really pics of anything.

UPDATE DAMMIT

[HMARK Center]

Didn't you notice? This thread is mod territory now!

I'll just bring my girl over and start a party, and all you non-mods won't be invited!

["Hollywood" Cactus Matt]

Haha ... I can't take you crazy kids anywhere, can I?

So y'all want an update, do ya? Well ... fine.

We hung out Monday night for a few hours, playing pool as planned. We watched some Family Guy and Aqua Teen Hunger Force on my friend's DVR (he was letting me hang out at his house while he was out) and drank a couple of beers. But that was about it; she left early because she had to work the next morning at 6:00. I wasn't terribly upset by that, although I do wish she could have hung out longer. I botched the good-night kiss attempt, though; she went right for the hug and I just went with it. Still, I'm sure the door is still open, since that's the first we had hung out and we've talked either online or on the phone every day since then. All in all, a good "date," as it were; in a few months, if she wants to start saying she's my girlfriend, I won't stop her. (as long as I reep the benefits of that, if ya know what I mean ... *nudge nudge*) But if she decides that we're "just friends," I'm more than cool with that, because she really is a kick-ass chick and neither one of us is feeling too "relationshippy" at the moment. So yeah ... I'm happy with it.

As for your questions, Godz: no, I didn't get the ring back because it wasn't even fully paid for yet (I know ... bad form); and yeah, New Girl is waaaaaay hotter than Old Girl. (and I was always telling Old Girl how pretty she was ... pssh.) No pics, though; the ladies need some privacy.

YOU LUCKY BASTARD!

Damnit now I feel like crap. Since I don't feel like making a topic of my own to bitch about I'll use this one. Ok this weekend set to see a movie with a girl. Made the plans last week and tried calling Wed and Thurs and leaving a text on Thurs. Call Friday night and guess who picks up. Her boyfriend. Damnit Life sucks like that. I remember her saying when talking about some annoying guy at work that to tell him she had a boyfriend so he wouldn't call but I thought that was lying to him or somehting. Now I know
