Online dating, flirting and dating burn-out.

ok, last question. Then what? Tell him I'd like to see him sometime? Ask him for his phone number? Set an actual date?

Not banging the guy within the week. Unfortunately.

l'k when you find yourself in a quandry like this just think to yourself "what would the dys do" and take it from there.

Hmm, again in terms of scripty, not sure if you need to plan that ahead of time. Just make contact, see what happens, be prepared to drop him as a bozo if he gets evasive.

Dys, thanks for that. <grin>

Soz, this girl needs a plan. If it's not there, I stammer.

Jesus F#ckin' Christ.

What's his phone number? I'll call him for you.

Say "we should get together for a drink sometime soon." Or if you want to play "I'm a female and it's the male's job to ask ME out," tell him to give you a call if he wants to do something.

But don't ask me. I'm in a slump. Either I was in an accident that left me disfigured, and I'm not aware or it, or the female species has just sworn me off. But I only blame me for lack of trying.

Slappy, maybe you needed a break. A little Slappy time.

drink soon. Good. Thanks.

Ha, I thought the same thing, Slappy! Here, lemme take care of it...

(Via relay, I'm sure that'd go over well...)

OK then littlek go for his number at the minimum. His number where he can be reached after Thursday -- is he just going to a new job or moving to a new place too?

As far as I know, he's staying where he is.

Soz, I really don't appreciate the sexual undertone of your response. I went to Catholic school growing up, and I'm not that kind of boy. Now I am further intimidated by females, knowing I'm looked at as a piece of meat, and not as the sensitive caring soul on the inside.

Yeah, Soz, how could you?

Thanks everyone.

oooh, a guy from my grade school!!!

is it jsut me or is this thread a little slutty i mean if you meet someone irl you get to know them better than you would over the net. over the net even if you talk to them for the same amout of time as you would irl before a date you still don't get to know them nearly as well.

Slappy, you crack me up!! Love your posts!

is this thread a little slutty? well, I hope so. Mostly the undertone is serious.

Late here, but I totally agree with calling and not mentioning the fact that he has your phone number. The easiest thing to do would be say, "hey, I heard you're leaving, you want to go out for a drink to celebrate your new job?" Just a drink, no pressure.

Good luck, lil'k.

now there's an idea ... why've i never thought of that?

Aw Slappy, you know you love it.

<wink>

<cheek pinch>

<yes that one>

Call him at work and say

"what's this I hear about you getting my phone number - are you planning on becoming my stalker, because I think I could handle that!"

Or bite the bullet and just say "so when are you going to ask me on a date?"

What is the absolute worst that could happen? He says he is seeing someone else, is busy, fobs you off with an excuse? If you leave it, you will be left wondering and it could take him forever to call you.

If you just can't bring yourself to do either of the above - at least call him and wish him well in his new job - I assume he is staying in the area.
