Xander ,'Empty Places'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Seriously, there's no failure and disappointment, my friend. You went, you had fun, you chatted. It's all good.
What Steph said, 100%. And as a woman, I will take a number more readily than I will give my number, from a safety standpoint. Even if nothing happens, it's like interviewing for a job that you're not even sure you want. It's good practice.
What smonster said.
Shir, tons of ~ma for your friends. I hope you're able to talk to her soon.
There is no energy to be found today. I just took a nap, and I already feel like I need another one.
By offering your contact rather than asking for hers you showed tact and consideration.
And as a woman, I will take a number more readily than I will give my number, from a safety standpoint.
Exactly.
Except, heh, she was willing to share her number with everyone at the table, so.
It's funny that you guys are saying this because in my other digs, they were all, girls won't actually call you, you have to get their number!

I like that.
I think it sounded like it went really well, P-C! And dude, next time someone asks you about hobbies, you write, you act, you moderate popular boards, you read tons of books, you have a zillion friends from all over the world and country, you travel...
Um. Dude.
And yep, an elbow touch isn't "Let's bone like wild zebras" but it's a "I feel comfortable enough with you to touch you because you said or did something funny or neato."
So, good!
Shir, glad to hear your friend is alive. Please don't kill her, or we will have to find an alibi for you.
PC, dude, I would chalk that up as a success
Dude, this was your first Nerd Dating event, right? It sounds like a success, especially given the skewed gender ratio.This, especially. What was the ratio? 2-1? 3-1? How many guys walked a gal out? She might be real nervous about emailing you. She might be sleeping in. She might have a leaky pipe burst in her bathroom and distracted. Ya never know why there is a delay. Either way. You broke the ice for you. Use this as an opportunity to get out there more. See, you didn't burst into flame talking to strange women.
And yes, I know, all things I need to do myself.
Aw, P-C, I feel bad that you thought you let us down! 'Cause, no.
It's funny that you guys are saying this because in my other digs, they were all, girls won't actually call you, you have to get their number!
Was it girls or guys telling you this? And another question - do you want to date a girl who, in the year 2012, won't call a guy she's interested in? If she's interested, she'll call. If she's interested and doesn't call a guy who has very deliberately given her his number? Those are some issues, right there.

This. Some people (OH HAI ME) are more touchy than others. But it's definitely not a bad sign.

Girls. Apparently it's still on the guy, even in 2012.
