Dating

She was buying all the cheeseburger Hotpockets.
you got yourself a keeper!
:guffaw:


She was at the time working night shift at her job (like me) and Hot-Pockets make a so-so portable hunger reducing agent for night-shift workers.

Replace the hunger with the an intense burning urge to run to the bathroom before your intestines rupture internally.... but at least that breaks up the routine. ;)

Actually what triggered the "heeeeey" reflex in this situation is I went over to talk her out of buying ALL of them and we got talking and she said "too bad we don't have replicators... though I wonder if they'll remember Hot Pockets the 24th century." :D
 
You think it's useful to date women only as long as you have "swimmers"? I would ask which era you're stuck in, but even that would not be accurate.


I don't really think that, no. I would just like to meet someone and have kids before long. I want to still be in decent health when my future kids are grown. I'm 31 right now. I know thats far from too old to have kids but I already can see what will go wrong with my health say 20 years down the road. I'm working on losing weight so that will help a bit. Allot really if I can lose all the weight I want.

And thats another thing. I'm a big guy. Quite fat really. This girl is not even Hollywood fat. I've never dated a non-fatty before, that just makes me more nervous. heh.
 
Today I was supposed to meet a girl I've been talking to via the interweb for a few weeks now. Neither of us drive so I had planned to take the bus. Its about an hour fifteen for the ride. We seem to get along very well while chatting on MSN or texting. I had been worried that she might cancel on me, there were just a couple small signs but I tried to pass it off as me being overly worried about it not working out. She didnt awnser one text where I mentioned seeing her today, just little stuff that honestly I cant even remember any more of right now. Anyway last night I messaged her on msn and asked if we were still on for today. She said that her room mate had just informed her that they had to go to court today, something to do with the landlord and rent. Now our evening togeather was planned to start around 6pm. Wouldnt court be over by then? I realise that after a day at court she just may not feel like meeting a guy... so perhaps I'm again just being overly worried. She did say I can have a rain cheque so I hope she suggests another day to meet.

Anyway, my question is... why am I doomed to be alone forever? Another few years and my little swimmers will dry up and I will not be able to procreate.

p.s. shes very attractive and likes Trek... two qualities I did not think could co-exist in a woman.

Procreate? One step at a time, bud :cool:

Just take it easy. The first thing to establish is a friendship that has a different kind of energy. It has to evolve from there-- if you have procreation and loneliness on the mind, it'll show through.

Oh, and btw, there are definitely attractive trekkie girls out there :). Just a matter of finding them-- they are hidden among us like cylons.

You know my proposal remains on the table, not my fault you didn't want to fly out to Vegas for a klingon wedding. We would have had such beautiful children.

Dude, take it from a guy who's quite big himself (try 310 pounds at 6'3")...try and not think about it. Yes I know, it's really really difficult not to think about it, when you're big you take up a lot of room and don't really want to, You want to make yourself smaller. But I figured out something over the last year or so. I need to take up that space. Sure I don't need my extra weight, but I'll always be tall and I have really big bones (no this is not the Cartman excuse, I do) and no matter how effective a training regime I go trough I'll still be quite big for a while more and you just need to accept that this is what you are and be, if not comfortable, relaxed in that. So just don't think about it.

Also you say that she's thinner. Well it might not be that big an issue. I know that it's hard after a lifetime of having "fat people are ugly" showed down your throat it's hard to believe it, but some people don't really care that much. I was recently very near to become an item with a girl who's quite thin (even in things like here bones are thin), and she said she doesn't mind that I'm big, that I'm much nicer to hug this way (she called me her big teddybear :lol:). We didn't end up together since we're definetly not right for each other, but it still was a bit of revelation for me that it's not always an issue.

So just try and let go of your worries and insecurities. I know it's unbelievably fucking hard, I know. I fight with it every day. But I've also discovered that the days I do let believe in myself, when I don't worry about how other see me, well more often then not those are pretty damned good days.


Best of luck to you. :techman:

I fear I'm much to polite to do much snatching I'm afraid :lol: But I will say there are most definetly several very lovely single women around here.
 
That's...disturbing. :wtf: Then again I'm more often then not ashamed of how many members of my sex behaves.
 
I fear I'm much to polite to do much snatching I'm afraid :lol:

I used to think that way. I'm starting to wonder now whether there's a distinction between politeness and cowardice when it comes to women. Still haven't worked through the question entirely yet.
 
^It's a combination :lol: But to be honest the line between trying to catch someones attention and coming of as stalkerish on the Internet is a very fine one and very hard to figure out.

She didn't deserve you anyway if she couldn't see all the great things you have to offer. And if you would've been involved with her you would've missed out on something even better.

My ex wife and many of the boards partners disproves that theory ;)

...and I'm sitting here without wearing my pulling shirt?! :( :p

Anyway - I don't believe anyone can be alone. I'm an ugly SOB and even worse with a bit of weight on me, but I'm comfortable with that and happy with who I am which seems to be more attractive than the guys who try too hard.

It's hit and miss. Some things work out, some don't. If she's interested, you'll get another shot as long as you're not to persistent and she could have been nervous or scared to meet someone from t'internet. If things don't work out - you have plenty of time left and there will always be more opportunities.

Sometimes it's best to just relax and not think about it - sometimes a good thing can come along as soon as you stop looking.

Though I attract cazy women. Insane, crazt, unhinged women. I'm probably not the best person to give advice.

Hi Cheryl.:D Welcome to Trekbbs.

Disregard that. I took that advice very literally for years and it got me nowhere. It's one of those "sounds good" things that isn't actually true at all.
