Xander ,'End of Days'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I'm apparently supposed to start e-mailing them and see if I like them.
They are likely to be as freaked about the whole thing as you are. DH's college roommate's parents did this to him and after he gave in and communicated with the women they felt the same as he did about the parental pressure.
Once have laptop, can't go back. Stop.
Heh. Yup.
P-C, stop me if I've got this wrong, but my understanding is that while you don't like and are freaked out by this whole process, you are committed to going through with it. In which case, I think your best course of action is to think about it as little as possible. Do whatever is expected of you with the e-mails or whatever, but don't think about it in between.
It's possible that this is very bad advice, but you are in kind of a bad situation and sometimes that calls for not really healthy behavior. Or, you know, I don't know what I'm talking about.
Aslo, P-C, ALL dating is a process. Either you meet someone at a party or from fandom or through online dating or this way or in line at the movies or, or, or.... The process doesn't matter. These women may not be someone you will like because they are coming to you this way, but, you know, they may not be someone you DON'T like either. You're single and gettign email about educated, possibly interesting, single women--enjoy that part of it.
besides, you're the guy, doesn't that mean that they have to come to you?
I ended up pulling off a B in Physiological Psychology!
Way to go sj!
Sunil, now is when you start sending out your version of your bio-data, don't forget.
I know it can't hurt to e-mail, but I keep trying to IGNORE this so I can perhaps happily interact with women in real life. "Hey, you want to have dinner sometime? By the way, I'm e-mailing with potential wives at the moment."
There's nothing saying you can't interact with women in real life while emailing women, too. The women that you're emailing aren't going to want to get married, like, tomorrow, right? It's not like, two emails, you like each other, OK, time to set a wedding date. Just think of it as another way to meet some women who might be interesting or fun. One of them might be your future wife. Maybe not. Either way, just relax.
Feh. We lost tonight 7-6. Which wouldn't annoy except defensive lapses gave away about three runs which would've been enough to win.
On the plus side some of my bottom-of-the-order hitters had their best games ever with three of them reaching the outfield for the first time all season.
On the minus side, Emmett had a whiny and negative attitude including these classics: "I don't want to warm up the pitcher" and "I hate playing shortstop."
Fuck you! I'm the Manager! Quit being a whiny bitch and take your position!
...is what I thought.
What I said was, "I need you to have a positive attitude and quit being so negative. Now go warm up Nicky."
On the plus side, Emmett pitched beautifully.
On the downside, Arabelle hit a screaming liner that was caught for an out and she cried her little heart out. (Because her big sister came to the game and brought all her Australian friends and Arabelle really really really wanted that hit.)
On the plus side, we got somebody out in a rundown between second and third.
On the downside, this team has beaten us twice and it pisses me off because I know we're a better team. But we haven't played close to our best against them.
Go, sj! Well done.
