y'ever get the feeling that you'll fall in love with next girl or boy or woman or man (delete as appropriate) that shows you some measure of attention?

it's where i am right now. the conversation lasts over thirty seconds and i'm thinking about what i'll get her for her next birthday. it's kinda fun having your defenses so down. i'd prefer to actually, well, be getting some, but...

― m. (mitchlnw), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:34 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, i'm a little drunk.

― m. (mitchlnw), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:36 (twenty-one years ago)

the night is but young! anything could happen!

― papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:37 (twenty-one years ago)

no, it's nearly 3. i'm at home on the computer. nothing's gonna.

― m. (mitchlnw), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:39 (twenty-one years ago)

But Mitch you're cute as! You shouldn't be wanting for the chix0rs!

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe it's just the one particular girl he's after :)

― papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm glad to see you're keeping your options open but 30 seconds is quite a commitment, isn't it?

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:41 (twenty-one years ago)

(i am in fact after no such particular girl, kate. it's been a long long while since i've had a genuine object of affection)

― m. (mitchlnw), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Being serious though, I know exactly what you mean, I've gravitated t'wards guys before simply because they were really nice and friendly and so on towards me. I think I tend to gravitate that way to people even when taken, its just how I am (sort of almost acting like, flirtyish? I cant explain it. Anyhoo).

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I was trying to be funny m, not as snarky as that looks now. Sorry to be such an eedjut.

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:48 (twenty-one years ago)

i think this bad (?) thing happens where you're attracted to those you imagine are as needy and unloved as you are

(xpost dont worry, i didnt read any snarkiness or eedjucy in yr post, michael! this isn't meant to be one of those serious 'help me my world is ending' threads anyway, whatever the hell it *is* meant to be)

― m. (mitchlnw), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:51 (twenty-one years ago)

But how does one cease being needy, self-obsessive and unloved without playing with the other people in the same boat?

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:53 (twenty-one years ago)

well you prob shouldnt being making these snap judgements about who's in the boat and who isn't based on some very superficial evidence, tho maybe it's all we got

― m. (mitchlnw), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:57 (twenty-one years ago)

you gotta be post-boat

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I just assume a guy might be interested in me til I can see clearly otherwise. Egotistical? Mebbe. Means I usually get a good rapport with guys as well tho, even when I'm not looking.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 01:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Heh, I'm the total opposite. A guy has to basically shove his dick in my face before I realise anythings going on.

― papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 01:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Eh, thats probably better than my silly method which often ends in embarrasment/disapointment :(

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 01:39 (twenty-one years ago)

No, your method is better, or maybe a middle ground is the answer.

― papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 01:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Telepathy! Thats the answer! Muaha.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 01:48 (twenty-one years ago)

This is so OTM. I went to the opffixe Xmas party last night - I think I ended up fancying half the women there, and snogging none of them. sigh.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 11:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I'm kind of like this a lot of the time these days - I'm far too needy and desperate for a bit of affection, and I am inclined to make far too much of it, in my own head, when any comes along. This is balanced by my ground assumption that anyone I like can't possibly be interested in someone like me, so it doesn't lead to humiliating mistakes - or indeed anything else.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 13:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I will fall in love with the next boy or girl who brings me some lunch as I'm not allowed to leave my desk until I receive a certain phone call.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 13:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm gonna try this dick shoving in face thing Kate suggested, next time.

― anyone else but nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 14:38 (twenty-one years ago)

No dicks in my face, please. This does not work with all Kates. Just so you know.

I was honestly getting to the point where I was actually afraid that I would never ever be attracted to someone ever again. And starting to worry about this.

three weeks pass...

oh man, it seems i've got a new crush. we discussed the irony of an a would-be inspirational helen keller quote on the back of a sugar packet that noted the limits of what can be seen and heard. she's got a boyfriend, obviously. she drunkenly said she'd fix me up with her friend, but that didn't happen. i wonder if most people assume i'm single. i talked to an old(er) crush tonight too, still makes my knees weak. still has her boyfriend. god, she's violently cute. the twinned joy and pain of talking to an beautiful, unavailable girl is about as much romantic friction as i'm getting lately.

― m. (mitchlnw), Thursday, 13 January 2005 00:35 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, i'm a little drunk. (get it?)

― m. (mitchlnw), Thursday, 13 January 2005 00:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I call this the 'Cameron Syndrome'.

Not one more second of thought should be given to her.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Thursday, 13 January 2005 00:42 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm suddenly running awful short of girls to think about.

― m. (mitchlnw), Thursday, 13 January 2005 00:43 (twenty-one years ago)

hein?! if everyone dismissed chances with people because they weren't single at the time you wouldn't have half the relationships there are out there.

― Stevem On X (blueski), Thursday, 13 January 2005 00:45 (twenty-one years ago)

If Prince was you he'd stand behind her while sucking on a lollipop and run off right before she sees you. Then, when she's outside with her boyfriend, knock him down with your motorcycle and scream "GET ON!" to her. This will give you an air of mystery.

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 13 January 2005 00:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I never do this.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 13 January 2005 00:51 (twenty-one years ago)

The guy from Maroon 5 would stare knowingly at her a lot. Never avert your eyes, even when she rubs her lame boyfriend's leg. It's lower-maintenance but effective.

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 13 January 2005 00:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, yes I do.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 13 January 2005 00:51 (twenty-one years ago)

"I gotta man."

"What's your man got to do with me?"

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 13 January 2005 00:52 (twenty-one years ago)

challenge said man to a duel. if possible slap his cheek with a velvet glove at the same time.

― Stevem On X (blueski), Thursday, 13 January 2005 01:02 (twenty-one years ago)

How dare you sir!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 13 January 2005 01:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I demand satisfaction!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 13 January 2005 01:03 (twenty-one years ago)

You can't get no(ne).

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 13 January 2005 01:11 (twenty-one years ago)

No, because I didn't. Ironic because I get little attention normally but hey.

― Captain GRRRios' Giggletits (Barima), Thursday, 13 January 2005 02:39 (twenty-one years ago)

a) invite the boyfriend out for a talk
b) walk to beach
c) double dare him to "swim out whilst holding this bag of rocks, bet you can't do it, haw"
d) the sea will take care of the rest

barring that, have one wank
