My last for-sure date was with a guy who wrote Spam software. I don't remember who paid for the meal, but I hope it was him.
Really don't remember much else...and that was more than five years ago now.
She just... she just did the math.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Of course my last date before Mrs. W. was a girl who was so unpleasant to be around, I had to make a quick judgment call as to how short a date can be cut without being rude (I guessed an hour and a half) and mentally counting down the minutes until I could take her home.

ita, woman, you should have kicked him in the head for us. Plaguing us with spam.

No, I was waiting for the internets to pony up the good pictures and video.

Basically. Sadly I deleted the horde of text messages off my cell and cannot provide an accurate transcript, but it went something like:
TEXT MESSAGE 1: Hi.
TEXT MESSAGE 2: Whatcha doin'?. [This is where I began mentally inserting the tone of a coquettish 14 year-old girl]
TEXT MESSAGE 3: I'm bored .
TEXT MESSAGE 4: Just thought I'd check in. [By this point it's maybe 3 hours after the end of our date.]
Lather, rinse, repeat.

Depends on what you were doing. I mean, if it's a movie I wouldn't leave before it ended, but I'd certainly eat faster and make a break for it after the bill was settled if it were a dinner date.
erika--his PoV was that "someone's going to do it--might as well be me." Not that attractive an ethos.
Asexuality as a sexual orientation. Man, that fits so well into my lifestyle. Just not in a good way.

In the middle of discussing a build, it struck me that the phrasing we use to describe the steps is absolutely filthy when taken out of context. You don't even have to try hard.
Unfortunately, I'm going to be discussing a lot of builds in the future.
