it also sucks because she's like a 95% match with me and had flirted with me once at a bar after a conference. i'm trying to get out of it right now by going on at length about the most boring work topic i can possibly imagine.

i'm pretty sure this is the only conversation about a Return on Investment study that's currently happening on OKC

What if she's hot for budget analysis? OMG!

get a drink after the meeting imo

or just ask Shakey for some tips on this convo

!! Avoiding awkwardness would have been accomplished by immediately blocking you and never mentioning it! So maybe she's after you.
This is my worst online dating/hookup nightmare. I don't want anyone I know IRL seeing my profile EVER. Last time I had one I locked the friends I could locate before I put up a real picture.

was yr profile racy
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 01:36 (twelve years ago) link
Mine? It was on Adam 4 Adam so it was somewhat adult themed. But a non-hookup profile is no less super private for me.
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 01:40 (twelve years ago) link
I wouldnt mind from a details-revealed POV but then again I avoid a heck of a lot of the compromising q'ns on OKC (esp about drugs).
― thanks to denial, I'm immortal! (Trayce), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 01:55 (twelve years ago) link
The actual information is NBD, it's just someone seeing me operating in a dating context. That's private.

On to Subway after, around 8, 8:30ish.
Is this the Subway Inn on 60th/Lex? I am taking myself to The Miners' Hymns at Film Forum at 6:15, no firm plans after aside from eating.
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 15:33 (twelve years ago) link
Morbs! Yes indeedy it is that Subway Inn! We'll be there after 1 or 2 rounds of luxury.
b_g, I wish you were coming with us but I hope your party is cat-tastic and full of delicious things.

i actually have a little okc thing going on tonight! may or may not work out, but it'll beat drinking a bottle of wine by myself while watching c-span2 on mute
― tmi but (Z S), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 15:55 (twelve years ago) link
Mrb, you should have seen miners hymns with me live at the winter garden. Then we could monopolize your evening.
Zs, kudos, tho drinking a bottle of wine by myself is one of my favorite activities.
Happy Valentine's day, past, present, and non okc users! I'm hoping to clean up on Valentine's from the under-12 set.

Messaging with 2 guys at present, 1 is older than me (omg wtf gasp!), that's just been light TV shw talk so far... the other is a guy I really like the look of but after several enthusiastic exchanges my last one was a reasonably long, detailled ramble about music interests as he expressed a love of music and he's not yet replied. Guys tend to try and play it cool tho, right? God I over worry about this rubbish.

Had the best time at the Carlyle/Subway. I highly recommend a date with Laurel and rayuela, with a special guest appearance by Dr. M. Except I drank too much (again). Two (actually four) martinis is more than I can handle. Do I owe anyone money or anything? We forgot to kvetch about okc.
― Virginia Plain, Wednesday, 15 February 2012 14:46 (twelve years ago) link
"actually four"
heal up ZS
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 14:54 (twelve years ago) link
Glad u made it home ok! It took me a while this morning to feel human again. I didn't feel drunk until I got home, and then I felt REALLY DRUNK. I should not have had that beer but I thought there was no sense in wasting it!
I had a good time last night as well & was lovely to meet you all on the most romantic of all days.
― rayuela, Wednesday, 15 February 2012 15:02 (twelve years ago) link
Sorry about the abrupt departure last night, I wd have liked to stay at Subway about another hour with you all, but yeah holy hell the double martini.
― one little aioli (Laurel), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 15:05 (twelve years ago) link
Jealous of anti-VD fap. I had a strange date that I thought was going well but ended with a handshake (? is that normal? It was awkward as hell but she stuck her hand out so I took it and shook it). At the first place I went to I somehow lost my wallet when the bill arrived, and found it right after she paid. Of course I apologized prefusely and paid for all the drinks at the next place but she seemed really pissed. Then I rode off on my bike and fell on my face.
― tmi but (Z S), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 15:06 (twelve years ago) link
Mary, I think we owe you money! Or Bemelmans does, because I couldn't stop you from putting too much on the tab. Perhaps the waiter will remember you in future, is that your plan?
― one little aioli (Laurel), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 15:07 (twelve years ago) link
Haha, I don't remember much from the second martini on. I'm just glad I contributed at all to the bill.
― Virginia Plain, Wednesday, 15 February 2012 15:12 (twelve years ago) link
laurel your timing was perfect b/c had we stayed out any later, i would have felt disastrously drunk in public, and not in the privacy of my apt.
vp, you also bought us a round at subway!
zs, sorry to hear about the terrible date & face injuries...
― rayuela, Wednesday, 15 February 2012 15:20 (twelve years ago) link
ZS, I have to say, I have shaken people's hands before upon meeting up on dates, and even on departing. Because unless you have achieved a specific bond, I'm not into hugging peeps and getting cheek-kissed or w/e by relative strangers just because we went to the same place for a drink. So I wouldn't take the hand-shaking as a bad thing NECESSARILY, it may just be meant to keep you at a distance until further developments develop.
― one little aioli (Laurel), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 16:09 (twelve years ago) link
hand-shaking is ok
I always end dates with a high-five

double martinithese should not be allowed to exist
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 17:11 (twelve years ago) link
if i drink more than 2 regular martinis i feel like i'm on the edge of point of no returnlike my friend janet says: martinis are like boobs; stick with two.
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 17:13 (twelve years ago) link
i guess the loophole in that aphorism is that they could be doubles...
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 17:14 (twelve years ago) link
At least I'm a generous drunk. Insolvency usually keeps me from drinking more than one at bemelmans, but I was seduced by the special occasion.
― Virginia Plain, Wednesday, 15 February 2012 18:10 (twelve years ago) link
lol a former employer once told me "martinis are like boobs: one's not enough and three's too many"
― Prince Rebus (donna rouge), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 18:12 (twelve years ago) link
to which I would say "balls" :D
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 18:33 (twelve years ago) link
It's not reeeeally a "double" but they give you a little flask with whatever was left in the shaker when yours was mixed. Very dangerous.
― one little aioli (Laurel), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 18:51 (twelve years ago) link
oh yeah, that's the proper quote - i am not so good at remembering quotes and jokes - that's why i need friends/internet! :)
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 19:24 (twelve years ago) link
All you really need to remember is the "martinis are like breasts" part. Someone else is sure to fill in the punchline for you.
― one little aioli (Laurel), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 19:25 (twelve years ago) link
Oh shit I just had the thought that I might have left my hand-cast silver art ring in the bathroom at hotel. Shit shit shit shit
― one little aioli (Laurel), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 19:28 (twelve years ago) link
that sucks -- but there's probably a higher chance of getting it back from the hotel bathroom than if you had left it in subway, no?
― rayuela, Wednesday, 15 February 2012 20:02 (twelve years ago) link
does anyone else do the thing on this where you talk/flirt with people but have no intention of anything more? i mean... or does everyone do this and just pass on the pain?
― I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 20:47 (twelve years ago) link
Hah. Hah. I was just talking to someone about that yesterday.
No.
― one little aioli (Laurel), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 20:47 (twelve years ago) link
i don't. but some people do, it seems.
― tmi but (Z S), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 20:48 (twelve years ago) link
it's not really intentional, sometimes i think i want to and then i don't. this is what happens to me constantly too. i don't let it go too far i guess, a few times i've spoken to people quite a lot over a few weeks and actually felt it was leading somewhere then they FLAKE, i assume the worst from now on.
in other dating nooze, met a girl last week from another site and we had a few beers, wasn't a majorly serious thing but i did quite like her and towards the end of the night she seemed to make it explicitly clear she liked me.
then when i went to kiss her at the end she kissed me on the lips coldly, and awkwardly, about three/four times. so awkward i actually laughed.
AND THEN, next day texted me to say "i had such a nice time, we should definitely do something again"
which i don't even believe, i hate this sort of "politeness".
― I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 20:54 (twelve years ago) link
she kissed me on the lips coldly
do you mean that her lips were cold, or that it was just really mechanical?
