I can certainly feel for the "if we hang out and she gets to know me something will just click" school of thought as it is so often mine. And also the "we're already pals and if I ask her out and she say's 'no' things will get irrevocably wierd" sentiment.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hm. You guys should spend an hour in the OK Cupid message boards, where hoards of those guys are very, very angry at women.
Cliff's Notes, Allysonized: I AM A NICE GUY WHY ARE WOMEN SUCH ILLOGICAL BITCHES AND WHY WON'T THEY DO ME?
Like that. Asscaps are not optional.

It would best for my sanity to have a week off work before the movers come, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Right.

So, I guess now they're having to start from scratch on the next generation of long-distance mission rockets.
We need new heavy lift rockets to get big enough stuff in orbit to mount a mission. But getting to Mars needs something a lot more advanced than anything we have now.
The Earth to the moon is about 250,000 miles. At its shortest, the distance between the Earth and Mars is about 34,000,000 miles.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Ask me out, or don't. But doing something nice for me and then getting pissy because I didn't reciprocate in the way you wanted, which I never agreed to do, isn't being a "nice guy," it's being a manipulative brat.
amen.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Obama talked about building a new heavy-lift rocket in 2015. Dunno if this is the Ares V he's talking about....

No msbelle. I think you should work overtime while packing, knit four sweaters, prepare several casseroles, and volunteer at the local soup kitchen.
Of course, this is just one day in the world of msbelle, and I have no idea how you'll make me feel exhausted just reading your posts on the other six days.
TAKE THE WEEK OFF, CRAZYPERSON.

So, overtime pay, then.

ION, Daniel Wilson Describes The Most Realistic Robots In Science Fiction
I simply can't respect a robot that *only* exists to hunt down and kill people. What's it going to do when all the humans are dead?
...
My robots do not throw people across rooms, then slowly stalk toward them. If by some odd quirk a humanoid robot has to kill a person (and a more specialized cousin is not available for the task), then this robot will grab the person by the face and close its fist. End of story.
