I finally got a date
46
Wed, 01-17-2007 - 2:33pm
I finally worked up the courage to go up and start a conversation with this girl who frequently serves me coffee at a coffee stand close to work. We've seen eachother around so she knows who I am. I asked for her number and asked her out for Saturday evening she said yes. I'm thinking about taking her to dinner and then to a pool hall afterwards. I'm really excited (I've only been on 2 dates my whole life and the last one was in July) but I'm really nervous at the same time. I don't know what mistakes I made with the last 2 girls I went on dates with, but none of them were interested in seeing me a second time. I really want this girl to stick around. What can I do or say to make her stick?

Unless she's done a survey of the board, I don't think she can even say that and I certainly don't want or need anyone to speak on behalf of me. I'm quite capable of doing it myself.

Country Girl,
you said it all so well! I too think that Redonculous could benefit from therapy, and I wanted to give some example or similar advice, but you did it all perfectly! You have overcome some difficult odds and have a lot going for you! I wish you lots of good (better) luck in your future!

"Many" is a qualitative description, and I don't think that anyone has to do a survey to use it about a board that they visit regularly. You should be thankful that no one has asked you to back out your many overstatements. I don't think you should get in anyone's face just because you got called out for misinterpreting someone's post. Being rude is not the same as being 'feisty'.

bottom line....online communication is even more difficult than intimate personal communication.....I mean this message for everybody on this post....not in a bad way, just as a friendly reminder.....there's no way to teach online how to flirt in person, no way to speak for "many" or everybody with precise accuracy, but it is possible with some generality. There is no way to really know exactly how many that "many" includes as I don't know how to know who is on this board regularly.....unless I spend a lot more of my free time online on this forum.

I enjoy reading other people's opinions and learning from others' experiences...hoping sometimes to find something to apply to my own life to make it a little better. I hope that in return, my comments give benefit to someone else in return. Giving and receiving support for personal difficulties has seemed to be a large benefit of this forum in the past. And, finally no one person can please everyone on a forum....I have pissed off someone as well once before and I was sorry, but it did happen.

so, just remember communication is tricky enough on its own and that when we add in the challenges of online communication....well, it's not easy.

good luck everybody!
