OT: waaaaaaay OT....

[Michelle]

well, some decent people but not many single ones. sorry to hear that, but yeah, life is all about taking chances! Good for you for still taking them!

[wavechaser]

Just to chime in from the guys side - I was dating a lot this year until recently. Mostly from online stuff. What a nightmare. Lots of (now) funny stories from it though. Some people are SO f-ing bizzare. I'm starting to think I just don't belong in Vermont. The best women I have met, that I have the most in common with, that have the spark between us, always seem to be in California, Texas, Hawaii, Germany, England or some other far corner of the globe. Been that way all my life - if I had a dollar for every time i had to say..."if we only lived closer". I'm starting to be at least somewhat financially secure for the first time in my life at age 47, so maybe it is time to move to "where the girls are". :-)

[Michelle]

Hey Wavechaser, don't think you are alone in your search. Seems I always meet super cool people that live far away. But I have seen long distance stuff work - my friend in Deutschland met a girl from New Orleans and they are now married! I agree, some people are really bizzare and I seem to have a beacon on my forehead that attracts them. It's not just the ladies, it's guys too! Although I do have a guy friend here that has some realy really funny stories about dating girls in Summit.

wishing you all the best in your search! It's scary out there!

[wavechaser]

Thanks Michelle - my most recent dating experience went like this: Had two "coffee" dates about a half hour each. She then sent me numerous emails saying "I can't figure you out", but you are "hot" and i'm still interested. Went out to dinner. In between, she searched me on Facebook and sent me a friend request. Asked me at dinner why I hadn't accepted it. I told her that I barely know here yet and let's see where this goes. She completely freaked and said I was "judging" her by not being her Facebook friend. This is a 45 year old woman we are talking about. I told her that in the interest of getting to know her better, I'd like to know what she means by "I can't figure you out". Figure WHAT out, I asked, and WHY do you feel you need to do that after only a coule dates? "Now you are trying to railroad me", she said. End of dating that one.

HA HA HA HA OMG it sounds like my friend in Breck. He had a girl talk about her cat the entire first date, and then when he dropped her off she attacked him and ripped the pocket off his shirt!

Wow, there are really some kooky people out there. I can't believe this woman is 45 and she's freaking out because you won't friend her on FB. WOOO yeah, she makes you really want to hang out with her all the time I'm sure!

Wow, keep looking....and good luck.

[Aisling]

wavechaser... O.M.G. seriously?

that is ridiculous. you should go to CO and take Michelle out.

sorry for jumping into your convo guys ... back i go to work...

[Angie]

I still have yet to sew that pocket back on for our friend who got it ripped off by psycho. That's such a good story! Haha.

Don't think moving to a new place will fix your dating problems. I lived in Boston for 6 years and dated my fair share of idiots, even in the big city.

One in particular that sticks out in my mind is the "tag, you're it" guy. He picks me up and about 5 minutes after getting in the car he pokes me and goes "tag, you're it." Now what do you say to that!? And he continued to do it throughout the date. I guess that's what I get for getting picked up while driving on the Mass Pike, huh?

Then I move to Summit County. Like its going to be any better!

[ncermak]

Then I move to Summit County. Like its going to be any better!

But at least you'll have some good snowboarding!

[benno]

I thought the ratio was more favourable for you girls up here angie?

Then again someone said to me about Antarctica: the odds are good but he goods are odd!

[Angie]

Well whoever said that to you.....stole it from us in Summit County!

Are you out in Breck tonight or up in WP? If so, when you make your way back look me up (we'll tear up the slopes...and the town): six one seven five one two six five six nine

[benno]

Wp Tonight mate but I'll call ya soon

[Michelle]

the odds are good but he goods are odd!

you got that right! WOW it's really unbelievable. and if they're not already the less sharpest crayon in the box, they smoke so much it just makes them....well.....dumb. can barely hold a conversation without saying "dude" at least 10 times, or "Brah". ugh. I'm over it.

[wavechaser]

wavechaser... O.M.G. seriously?

Yes, seriously. Then there is the one who kept checking her cell phone every 2 minutes while we were out to dinner at a nice restaurant. When I asked her to stop, she put her purse under the table and tried to do it in her lap...like I wouldn't notice. Kept saying "cool" and "really" about every five minutes, to appear interested I guess? Then goes off about how she hates cops because her car got "broken into" last summer and the cops never got here the stuff back. "Did you lock it", I ask? "No, I don't wan't to live like that", says she. Uh-huh. So the bill comes and I put down my hal and shove it towards her. "You want money", she asks? She puts down $5 and gets up and walks out. I pay the bill while the restaurant bartender and waitstaff are laughing their asses off having seen the whole date. I get outside and she is standing there. "What do you want to do now", she asks? I am smiling because at this point I find the whole thing very amusing. "I'm going home", I said. "FINE", she says and stomps away. I get home about 5 minutes later and there is the most expletive-laden phone message I have ever heard on my machine. Second date. Yippeeee!

Ais - Michelle and I have never met, but next time I am out there at least we could go out and compare stories and probably have some good belly laughs!

NEXT!

[Michelle]

Wavechaser, you've got me beat by far! I can only tell stories about other people, because there's no such thing as "dates" here. You just meet someone, flirt, hook up, pretend like you are not dating but you really are, "hang out" with each other, and then they turn psycho, freak out on you for no reason, and say something like "We weren't really dating".

NEXT is right!

[dantheman0177]

I really don't have anything useful to add here, since I've been out of the dating pool for 10 years now. I'd be out on parole now if I'd just bumped her off in the first place, not stuck with a mortgage and wife and kid......it's OK girls, you know I'm only joking.


I just wanted to see if my post might be the first on page 100!!!

EDIT: Damn, it wasn't.

[wavechaser]

I'll take page 100.

That's it...I'm just a taker....brah. ;-)

EDIT: ****

[Michelle]

Maybe I'll be on pg 100?

Dan, you would be on parole more than with just your wife! We'd all gang up on you because us chicks have to stick together!

EDIT: nope, me neither

[ncermak]

Dan are you telling me I should not get married and... ;-)

EDIT: Damn. I missed 100 too...

[Aisling]

you guys crack me up (and no this is not a post to see if i get page 100 )

[Michelle]

Dan are you telling me I should not get married and... ;-)

Noah, when is your wedding again?

[pebu]

I'm purely going for the 100th page.
Ok, I guess I'll say that I've got a pretty steady girlfriend since last winter and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna start looking for an engagement ring. She's awesome. She's hot, she's got her own house and a steady job. She's got a black lab/golden retriever mix. Only problem is she doesn't like skiing or boarding. But she did give it a shot, so I guess I can't hold that against her.

Hey, if I can do it, anybody can.



Don't tell her I said that, she gets pissed at me when I talk about myself like that.

Edit: Damn!

[Michelle]

Another single carver lost to the eternal world of marriage ~sigh~

CONGRATS! Hope it all works out for the 2 of you!

[ncermak]

May 30th.

And there is a possibility of a move to Denver in My future...

[ncermak]

She sounds Great Pebu. Congrats!

Page 100! I win the free pair of Sidewinders! Woohoo!!!!!

[Michelle]

OMG YAY!!!! That would be awesome Noah!!! Keep me posted

[ncermak]

A free pair of Sidewinders would be awesome! I'll definitely keep you posted on where to send them!

I'll know on Feb 8th...

[Michelle]

HA HA sorry that's not the prize that you win.

[bjvircks]

Only problem is she doesn't like skiing or boarding.

Cannot possibly work out.



yipee! I got on page 100. back to serious lurk mode

[pebu]

Well, I'd say it works out better this way. If she gave me an ultimatum; her or snowboarding, well... To say the least, I sure would miss her. But she doesn't mind me snowboarding (so far). And if she DID ski or snowboard, I'd feel obligated to stick with her instead of railing some turns. I mean, don't get me wrong, I WOULD stick with her, but the carve would definately be calling.

[dantheman0177]

Nah, do it. It's all good. Especially if you are planning to move, it's really good because it is something you can do and go through together. That's what Vanessa and I found when we moved to London straight after getting married.

Kids.....well that's another story entirely!
