So youre suggesting you are more than willing to be friends with an ex (at least your version of an ex) provided the sex wasn't spectacular? What if the sexual tension was less overrated?

Sexual tension is only bad because it's basically wanting something that you can't have. You can circumvent this issue by either getting what you want (having sex) or not wanting it in the first place. Like I said, she's hot so even though sex with other women is better, at the end of the day it's still sex with a hot girl :P

I dunno, sometimes I think sex with attractive people is a silly social standard. A lot of them aren't even that good because they just assume looking good means the sex is good

Well it's literally physically impossible for me to have sex if I'm not attracted to my partner :P

I suppose sex is like tacos. Even if it's bad, its still good

You've never had bad sex then...

You can be attracted to pretty much anyone as long as they're healthy

Just got back from a date w/ a super introverted girl. Man I hate those. Thought of this thread and was thinking, "Damn. This is what I get for not having prepared stories to talk about" lol

*shrug* we'll see when I text her in a couple of days.

Ewwww, you do the three day grace period? I understand the evasion of clingy feelings but it seems so forced

I wait at least 24 hours. I don't think it really matters as long as you don't text them the same day as the date

Do you explain that you won't contact them for at least 24 hours, or is this a trial to see how clingy they can get to make sure they're worth your time?

 

Also, I found a buzzfeed article that I practically wrote

No nothing like that lol, just as long as it's not the same day as the date was. If a girl texts me before I text them after a date, that's usually a sign that they're DTF

So it is a bit of a trial (by which I was not accusing you of being judgmental or manipulative, merely observant and competent) 

 

But thats a valid point, if they text first they're pretty down

I've been accused of having "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" syndrome. It makes a lot of sense.

That's pretty much exactly my type. More or less.

Isn't the whole point of that construction to be everybody's type?

Well that certainly says something about our society

I think yes and no. They look good on paper/screen but, aleast I personally believe, they would be really shallow and uninteresting to meet/befriend in actuality.

Well that certainly says something about our society

*slow clap* I can actually hear sarcasm over the internet.

Been experimenting with sexual tension and indifference when scheduling dates. In other words, using less smiley faces, being as concise as possible in my responses, and pretty much just letting girls know I genuinely don't give a shit whether they want to meet up or not (because getting dates is so easy these days lol). Been working out pretty well so far; would recommend :thumbup:

 

Me: [pitches the meet after 3 back-and-forth messages]

Her: That was pretty fast.

Me: Hell yeah. [my go-to response to everybody in my life who questions my behavior http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NisCkxU544c&t=1m28s]

Her: I mean I'm not against it but I am new to this.

Me: Yeah it's cool.

Her: There's a bar near where I live.......

 

 

(I always ask girls what they consider their best quality to be besides their looks; this girl asked me what mine were after she answered)

Me: I'm actually a terrible person with no positive qualities. :) Haha but seriously it's my carefree personality. I never get stressed out or angry. So you're not actually a psycho lunatic serial killer then, are you? :)
Her: I thought you just said you were carefree but now you're worrying whether I'm a killer or not.

Me: That question wasn't serious.

Her: I know. I was kidding

Her: Lol

Me: That's pretty funny. [pitches meet, she accepts. meeting her tonight for coffee]

 

 

Me: [pitches meet]

Her: Nice but hold your horses. Do you have anymore images of yourself?

Me: Nah

Her: Lol... Why not? I want to see more of a variety, not just two images.

Me: Well I'd add you on Facebook but I don't like adding people I've never met before.

Her: Lol why don't you have more pics? I'm just wondering

Me: (shrug)

Her: Before you shrug I just want to privde you a compliment. That first image is quite attractive :) and the second is even better. Shows you're pretty strong and talented. Hmmm....

Me: Thanks

 

 

But yeah right now's prime time for online dating. It's like shooting fish in a barrel this time of year :D

I agree, November is easy pickins. Granted there's a lot of awkwardness that ensues due to so many holidays. I've always been nonchalant in my texting but I've found that a slight addition of smiley faces was beneficial. Perhaps our target audiences differ?

Well right now I'm trying to only use smiley faces to indicate that I'm being sarcastic. Or if I'm being flirtatious, but I'm usually not like that with a girl until after I've met her in RL.

Didn't we have a discussion about smiley face usage a year or so ago? Because a lot of us admitted we use smiley faces much more often when talking to girls. I think that might have been why. Granted, the last few girls I've flirted with via internet I hadn't used many emotes and did pretty alright, so I'm going to bottom line it with whatever feels right is right

I don't think I ever use smileys when I text my guy friends. But then again, they know me well enough to detect my text sarcasm and they're not the kind of people to get offended. For example, I told my best friend to kill himself the other night. It was funny.
