One more and he is OUT.

Don't do that! Be more curious. You don't have to have all your interests aligned. In fact, it's often more interesting to date somebody who has a different set of references and interests.

There's a reason there's a curse that says "May you live in interesting times."

One of the magic things about a quick fascination is how often it has nothing to do with anything. The longer a list of similarities I've ever been presented with anyone, the worse it got. Once it got past Buffy and computers and...whatever, the hookup just got awkward. Those are the kinda people you gotta meet, not be set up with, because someone you know who doesn't dig those things about you heard about someone else.

I think you can meet someone and really spark conversationally. But that doesn't mean they're relationship material. This happened to me the other day with a married guy.

Anyhoo, Community tonight was the funniest half hour of tv all season. OMG, people, watch that shit on Hulu. It's amazing.

Skipping (still? Sigh) because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Glamcookie's birthday.

Happy birthday, GC! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Yeah, I`ve definitely had the conversational click. I have it with my new roomie which is why I`m just now coming to bed after talking for two hours after I meant to be asleep and despite the fact that he`s sick and we both have work to do in the morning. And we have wildly disparate views but the same personality type, thus the good talk. But the conversational click is (at least theoretically) non-sexual. Or at least it doesn`t have to be, although it can enhance sexual interest I think.
 
And not to be all BMECT about it, but the SO & I had the relationship click, met eyes across a crowded room and knew thing. So I definitely think it happens that way too. Interests were secondary. Well, music, that mattered. But there`s a reason why I`m a hockey fan today and it`s not because of my Hawaiian ethnic heritage, I tell you what.

I'm massively awkward upon first (and second, and third) meetings. A lot of the time I feel like I'm imitating proper human behavior rather than actually doing what I'm doing because it feels right to me.

Oh, god. That describes me to a T. The idea of having 'click' on a first meeting with someone causes so much anxiety it's not even funny.

Happy Birthday, Glamcookie!

I've had a click with a couple of people. It never went anywhere, but it was fun while it lasted. A lot of my f2f acquaintances don't pick up on my sense of humor right away, but the clickers did.

For me that click is very often when you feel like you've known someone forever, even though you just met -- when you feel like you're exactly on the same page in terms of humor and interests and thinking. It's happened a lot to me with friendships.

Happy Birthday, Giamcookie!

Makes him even hotter doesn't it? Like he does NOT have a face made for radio.

I know! It was fun to see them all. He was both hot and well dressed! I always love seeing the names of my NPR peeps. I have to say them out loud to recognize them.

I sort of clicked with this dude I met yesterday downtown. Probably wouldn't want to date him, even if I were available, but he was cute and charming.

Speaking of charming , i would have to go with Neal/Peter/Elizabeth. July 13, hurry up!
