Be Excellent To Each Other

I was running the "cock" angle myself.

1. Boy sees girl (on Facebook)
2. Boy messages girl (on Facebook)
3. Girl messages back
4. Repeat steps 2-3 about 20-30 times
5. Boy invites girl for coffee
6. Girl accepts

It's an oft-told tale.

Also, turns out Mr. Sanders is the name of her best friend, and she was responding to him and not using it as a codeword for me. He asked her how the date went and she replied to say "It was very nice thank you Mr. Sanders".

This is an awesome tale. You messaged an entirely random person on facebook and translated that into a real date? Amazing.

20-30 times to the same girl or 20-30 girls?

"zomg!!1 cnt w8 to p0st dis in mi fcebuk1'

Not an entirely random person, she printed some T-shirts for my brother to wear on his charity unicycle ride and had commented on his video.

I used the "do I know you from somewhere? You look familiar" opening gambit

Oh, and the first message I sent her was on Sunday afternoon, so that's from random message to date in 48 hours.

If only I could have this sort of success with women in actual social situations

That's good work Gaz.

Worth noting that I spoke to both my current and ex-gf via email a fair amount before actual dateness occured. I'm sure that's not a reflection on me and my social depravity.

The slaaaaaag. Everyone knows that women who succumb to IM charm in anything less than a week is a right slapper, innit.

That was certainly true of the ex, and she was a psychotic manic-depressive to boot. I'm sure I've mentioned it before but she ended up getting arrested when she wouldn't leave me the fuck alone.

So Gazchap - the question on everyone's mind is: "So is she a pirate or a zombie?"

I'm sure this'll make me sound like a sad case, but I prefer this "method" of getting to know someone initially, it's less awkward and you know they have an interest in what you're saying. I always do try and get things moving into the "real world" sooner rather than later though.

Otherwise the blades on my knives get dulled from under-use


Neither, thank fuck. There was also a worrying moment where I thought she might be a furry, but she isn't one of those either. Phew.

Must... resist... pubic topiary gag....

I think I'm missing a critical reference here.

That was what she thought I meant when I asked the question originally. She's not one of those either.

Impeccably groomed lady then. Well done!

I believe it's something to do with how everyone on the Internet seems to be obsessed with pirates, zombies, Chuck Norris and kittens.

There's a "Zmbies vs ninjas vs kittens vs pirates" "game" (and I use the word loosely) on Facebook. I have turned down 600 million requests to play it.

Makes sense to me. Certainly if it appears you don't have anything in common its very easy to stop emailing. Better than lurching up to the first person you see in a bar, randomly, and trying to initiate random, embarassing conversation.

My sister met her boyfriend on the internet through some kind of social networking site - or maybe a chat room - I don't know.

They've bought a house and are hoping to get married soon and have four* children

(*a detail which they are strangely specific about - my sister always wanted two, but her boyfriend has convinced her that four is the magic number.)



Anyway, it seems that it can work in some circumstances, it's not something I'd like to do, though.

I met my wife on deadjournal.com.

Another nail into the heart of my hopes for us, Mimi

I met my ex-wife on an Internet chat room way back in 2001 and we were together for four and a half years (2 as husband and wife).

Then she cheated on me

Oh well. I've never been one for the whole "once bitten, twice shy" thing

Yeah, but any woman might cheat on you, no matter how you bet, it's no reason to be shy of the idea. Good on you, I hope that you enjoy many more dates, Mr. Sanders.

The women I met on the internet and had dalliances with in my pre-Mrs Chris days were, without exception, psycho hosebeasts.

Not all internet met people are horrible rapists.
I once met a guy off the net, about a week later I met up with him in town, and went to his house in a far off town I'd never been to before.
NOT clever, I know.
But let's just say I left with a smile on my face.

Is that something I've said? Seems oddly familiar.

I'm dissapointed Chris hasn't got it yet either. It's nothing you've said chap

Groomed by a face-painter?

A quote from a film? It sounds faintly familiar, but can't place it....

You're so uncool now you're a dad.

Oooh ooh ohh - even I know this!

Ah - Waynes World.

Pffft.

Yeah.

I saw it last year. Someone told me it was good.

I thought it was rubbish, but then I think it is made for teenage boys.

C'mon Chris, you just said Psycho Hosebeast. That term doesn't come from anywhere other than Wayne's World. pffffft to you.

MARRIAGE OFFER REVOKED.

That is indeed exactly where I got the phrase from. My "pfft" was that I had to look up your quote on google....

But... but... but!

But it is rubbish

I have never used this smilie:

Aaaahhh, that's fixed it. That's been bothering me for days.

Wayne's World is simply one of the greatest films of all time. To not like it means you must have a serious brain malfunction.

*Pulls starter handle on banhammer*

But it really is a bit of a boys film, I think. It isn't the character of Wayne that bothers me, it's the blonde one - his acting just gets really tedious after about 10 minutes.

My wife would strongly disagree with that assessment.

I thought you were referring to orgasmic moans. I'm wired up wrong.

me shiver your timbers long time?
