I HATE BEING SINGLE!!!
>>347
Finals are tests, nothing to do with camping
>>347
what
Awesome! A girl I kinda like just indirectly asked me to see a movie with her. It will happen by me saying I want her to see a movie with her, though. Kind of a weird situtation.
I wonder if i'll be able to build up the guts.
haha sure thing guys. I started telling this chat channel to my friend already. he didn't believe me. so i gave him the URL. :D
anyways, where is Msn otaku?
otoko =/= otaku
>>354 MSN otoko is an otaku for girls w
KIITTA!!!
KIITTA!!!
sigh...I'm worried about MSN...;_;
>>358 Worry not about MSN-kun; he's either too busy to post, or he's simply forgotten. Either way, I'm sure he's got a perfectly good reason. Just be patient.
Demian's last post was 3 days ago. Great, now we have two lovelorn schmoes gone AWOL.
Single mens rant thread huh? Trying to start another legend but this time in America?
Maybe I should start then...
I went into glasses store recently, in search of overpriced sunglasses, and a beautiful Korean girl was working there (this was at the Korean market btw) well didn't speak any English so I had to speak some Korean. She was so excited and we traded numbers. She said that she would be moving to Koreatown in one week and would get a full time job at a restaurant. She told me to come visit her.
So, I called her, and let her know I would be going in. A friend and I drove out to K-town and went to this ultra fancy restaurant that she worked at. The food was majorly pricey but I figured it was worth it. She served us a couple beers and some food and meanwhile invited me to her apartment to teach her english when I finish my finals. Later when I asked for the check she told me that I didn't have to pay anything, that she took care of it. So I walked away with free beer, food, and a possible sex invitation... God I hope she's not just after my citizenship!
As of yet, there is no development in the process as I'm still trying to get hold of a suitable container, such as a basket. Tomorrow there is a market and I hope to find suitable material there. Currently the basket will contain 2 redbull cans, some chocolate, markers, small sticky notes, 2 apples, some tea and a small note-block. I hope that will be enough.
Should be enough I think. A cute well thought out small gift is the way to go in that situation. Make sure to put a very short thank you note. Make you to tease! Love is a GAME.
Sounds great Demian :)
How about getting a nice christmas card, and thanking her for the lift home that day, how she saved you ;) and figure out how you can put in your contact info.
Looks like Demian has taken over for MSN...
>>367
You make it sound like a bad thing :P
This is the single man's rant thread afterall, anyone is free to apply!
I AM SO ALOOOOOOOOOONE.
I'm not sure why I don't seem to have much interested in dating. (and no, I'm not HAADO GEI...)
My idea of what constitutes 'attractive' doesn't really mesh with what society seems to view as attractive. You would think that would make things easier, right? I don't know.
I've got to do something, though. I'm 24, and while that certainly isn't old by any means, my opportunities seem to diminish constantly. Part of that is the fact that I've never really dated anyone (at least that lived in the same state, lol), so I don't really know how to proceed... and so I create the idea that I want to date someone younger, that might be equally inexperienced. But as I get older, that becomes less and less of a possibility...
You know, we ought to have assignments in this thread. Like, everyone has to try to get a date this week, etc.
Hmm... it's weird. If anything, I'd say I prefer cute over hot. But it's really kind of variable... I'm not doing a good job of epxlaining.
You're right, you're not. Try naming some people who fit your tastes.
Just caught on late but... I wonder how MSN is getting along. As much as it pains me to say it, this will probably not end fantastically if I pursues the romantic route. I think he should just settle for being friends because otherwise he stands to lose it all. But then again, getting majorly butt-hurt might enable him to find someone else down the road. Demian's deal is in the beginning stages but I think it has some good possibilities. Demian, what type of guy are you?
>>370
If we had assignments i would fail all the time orz
MSN WHERE ARE YOU :(
>>377
Traitor! He will come back!
>>376
Heaven, is it you that I am arguing with in the Japanese thread?
ehhh ignore >>380. I'm new to this bbs and I didn't realize that there are duplicate or masked tripcodes?
"heaven" is your ID if you type something in the email field.
They're not tripcodes. They're IP hashes. Tripcodes would go next to the name. In a kareha board like this, they can be set to be the same over the whole board, over only individual threads, or to never be the same. Saging masks it.
I see... man I'm noob
^^^^ Yay, I did it! ^^^^^ ...
>>386 I see what you didn't do there
Hello, I am >>386's bunion. I am writing this while he is asleep. I must apologize for my owner's use of a name even though he hasn't done anything of note and no one cares who he is. He is young and inexperienced, so please go easy on him.
I don't see a need for anonymity, to be honest, and even though I haven't done anything it doesn't matter much. No one really "cares" who anyone is here anyway. Isn't that why it's anonymous?
Your own toe just pwned you (´ー`)b
You better switch to being anon to avoid further embarasment associated with your name! Hurry! People on the internet are laughing at you as we speak!
Back on topic! Resume ranting on the topic of "SINGLE MALEHOOD"!
I don't hate being single. I have all my valuable time for myself.
OK. People on the internet are laughing at me... thats pretty rough. I don't think its possible to be embarassed on the internet? Unless you are the Numa numa guy or star wars kid...
Being single is nice, I just ended a one year relationship a month ago and the free time is nice. Now I can work more, make more money, and study harder. Life is pretty good. But the dating game is a pain in the ass.
>>392
We're laughing at you because you pretty much ignored the customs of this board and expected us to not care that you did. Way to be arrogant. (´ー`)b
I passed-up the chance of love for game programming and airsoft guns! (´ー`)b
>>393
That's complete bullshit okay. Expecting only important people to use names (BECAUSE I AM SO IMPORTANT AM MY EGO IS HUGE AMIRITE) is much worse than having everyone use names. And being nameless is a choice, okay, not everyone has to or wants to do it.
For what its worth I'm sorry I ignored the customs of the board but, it's not like I was threatening any of you or anything. I'm just saying its not a huge deal. I figured that for people who complain about not fitting into society you would all be more accepting of mistakes and such, but everyone here seems act like jerks towards those who don't understand all the rules.
>>393
And I expect you not to care, how important is this forum to you? What you percieve as arrogance I think is more a matter of me not glorifying all that is anonymous BBS.
Apologies to all, this will be my last off topic post.
back on topic:
Gosh I wonder where MSN went? Oh yeah, he's waiting for a check so he can take a girl out for coffee. MSN... I hope you don't get too butt-hurt.
Demian seems to actually have a realistic chance but I don't think a gift basket is a good idea. A 10$ gift card and a card with a short note is ALL that is necessary. Girls hate to be smothered. They like to be teased. Go all out in the beginning and you get nothing in the end. I can say this because I've failed many times.
this is cuntish
sigh...If only MSN were here, we wouldn't be reduced to arguing...-_-
You forgot to 400get.
Besides, the only reason anyone does anything is for recognition. (Fame, fortune, selfishness and personal gratification are also common reasons.)
...Wait, what's the topic again?
I don't know anymore...
If I don't guess, then I won't know.
CRAWLLLLING INNN MY SKIIIN THESE WOUNNNDS THEY WILLLLL NOT HEAAAAL!
Man, I really miss MSN :(
Maybe he over-did it again and is too ashamed to post here.
PLEASE, MSN COME BACK!! I need to know, and you need to keep trying!!
Hey guys, I'm >>352. We sort of talked about it again the day before yesterday, and she's still up for it.
I was planning to ask her what day this week she was available to, but I just couldn't make myself. My only available day will be tuesday, so I may have to ask her tomorrow if I want to.
If I don't I'll meet her on friday anyway (concert.)
You see, we've been talking alot on MSN for about a month now, but I can't help but to think I will screw up if we actually meet.
Also, I'm deeply moved that this girl actually wants to spend time with me.
I'm so shy :(
Great!
But keep it in your head to be her FRIEND first. If something else comes later.. fantastic. But for now she is a friend, and don't go crazy thinking about confessing your feelings or anything.
Ask her! You already have a rapport with her so it's not like asking someone out of the blue. Find a movie she would like and mention it when you bring up the subject. If she says no, you'll still see her at the concert, right?
>>407
Man, I might have done something stupid like that if you didn't say that.
Actually, I just found out I'm going to be busy all week (my 17th birthday amongst things), but I'll meet the girl on friday, anyway so it's cool 8)
Still want to see a movie with her, though :) I'll talk with her about it.
>>408
I'm pretty sure she'll say yes to see a movie.
Oops, I meant to age this.
A movie wouldn't be a bad idea at all really, but a location where you could talk would be better. Do you live in the LA area? If so I know a buttload of fantastic coffee shops.
Hey all, I posted here before and I need some help. I've been flirting with this girl I like for the past week, we've been calling each other "darling", "dearie", and "dearest", but right now my friend just said that he thinks that the girl might be the type that might not be looking for a relationship. I was just wondering what you guys think. I really REALLY like her a lot, but at the same time I dont' want to be disappointed like I've been in the past. I get the vibe that she likes me but I don't know 100% if she would be willing to start a relationship. Please help. Thanks.
oh and if it helps my case any, she has her facebook listed as "single" and "whatever I can get"....also, I invited her to go with me to Disneyland during the start of next quarter without actually talking to her too much prior and she said she would be "more than happy" to go.....hopefully this will help you guys determine whether or not she would be open to dating me...thanks all
>>412
take a chance. if it works it works, if not it doesn't. don't stay in limbo though or you'll end up falling into the "friend zone".
facebook?
lol facebook is a college student database, kind of like "myspace.com" or "friendster.com"...people can post if they're single and looking for "friendship", "dating", "a relationship", or "whatever I can get"....think of it like an advanced scouting list if you want to know whether or not a girl is single ;)!
lol densha otoko
>>412
Sounds like you are more or less in the clear. Give it a go soon or you will fall into friend territory.
My main concern is that she lives in Florida right now LOL talk about the start of a freaking wierd relationship!!!! and I'm in California thats like 1,000,000 miles apart! So I don't know what to do! GAFGADFASDFJK!!!!!! She'll be returning to California next month though when we reunite at UCSB. OMFG I don't know what to do...oh, and if it helps any; we were friends before this ~_~.......dies
>>419
you people are way too tense over your relationships. don't be so serious all the time. if things work out they work out. if they don't you would end up miserable sooner or later no matter how infatuated you may be right now, and are better off seeking someone else.
>>419
So you've been calling each other darling only on the internet? Or has she been in Florida for only a short while?
>>420
hahah exactly true. If it's meant to be it's meant to be, but a lot of the people here (not everyone) haven't been in "real" relationships, just online ones, so they don't know how to interact properly. Let this thread be their safety net because they have no other source of advice.
Hope you make it through the snow, if you're around the east coast.
Good luck, 352 otoko! lol
I think the movie-thing is off, but I could still ask her again. Also, she might not come to the concert, but I said she should come on MSN.
>>424
I'm not in America.
...but there's snow here too.
about 3-4 hours 'till I'm going. I'm not gonna be bloody nervous. At least I'll try. I'll talk to her, at least.
The thing is, I have no idea what she's thinking, and it's driving me nuts. I have no idea what's going on when we talk on MSN, other than we talk about a lot of things, and she likes talking to me, however, I might not be as talkative when we meet. Espescially on this concert-thing.
At least I'll see her.
Maybe I'll ask her if she wants to do something sometime.
Bye.
Do your best, 352!
U should def go for it! we are all here for u!! GO GO GO!!
Forget about asking her if it's going to make you nervous, just focus on having a good time with her at the concert.
Okay, so things turned out quite funny.
She didn't have a ride to the concert, and we were talking on MSN.
She lives a lot longer away from the concert than I, so it was quite a problem (she would come late etc.)
She asked me what bus I was taking, and then I said "well, I got my dad to drive me." (shut up) And then... "wait. should i ask him if he's willing to drive to x so we could give you a ride?"
And that's what happened. Both went to the concert in the same car. She was pretty quiet, and there was a lot of silence. I guess I'm not the only one who can be shy. Maybe because of my dad? I think so.
So yeah, the concert were fun, we jumped around and so and so. We didn't really talk as much as I'd wanted but it was fun enough.
When the concert ended, I walked her to the bus-stop (with some kid from my street walking next to me ;_;) and then we hugged. Hugged ! Oh yeah, hugs are nice. I casually said "bye, then! speak to you later!"
So, I'm wondering if this was a date or something. We were next to each other almost all the time, and both arrived and left at the same time.
Hug.
What now? Maybe I'll ask her to see a movie sometime. There's also a "prom"-thing coming up that she's going to, but that's really not my thing. Maybe I'll go.
I'll note that we were in the same class for half a year, but now we go to different schools.
Thanks for reading.
kitaaa!
Lol good job. Seems like you didn't over or under do it at all.
>>431
It wasn't a date. Don't let yourself think something is a date unless she explicitly calls it a date.
Movie? Go for it!
KITA! But were there any hints? Or buying signals from her?
I have a bad habit of falling inlove with girls that already have boyfriends :(
One girl a fell in love with twice(she still got the boyfriend the second time) and now i am in love with a girl that i think have a boyfriend.
But i don't know how i can find out. I can't ask her about it(I just started talking to girls about 1-2years ago , i guess i'm a bit shy about it).
Also there is a girl that i like somwhat that don't have a boyfriend , and i think we share some common interests(the one i am in love with now don't share any as far as i can see)
I have been thinking about getting to know the girl that im just like a bit better.
What should i do?
Also how should i start getting to know the girl? Im to shy to just go and start talking to her. But we do share the same class at school.
>>436
I think you're using the term "love" way too liberally...
>>437
everyone does in America, this is the country where people love chocolate.
Hey Demian, did you find anything in the market?
I have odd problems of falling for girls i just plain dont have access to, either, insane time issues, or distance, or just, inavailablity. Mabye I have a case of always wanting what I cant have....
(time issues = theyre way too busy, just, all the time)
Everyone's too busy all the time. I have no friends for the same reason: my "friends" are always occupied doing this or that. Those of us who have a spare hour a day to post on the Internet are a rare bunch, I guess.
wow this thread feels alive...
someone fill me in on this MSN guy?
sounds pretty interesting lol
test test
We're still waiting for updates from the now about 3 guys who may have prospects for a relationship.
Maybe they all killed themselves... (・Д・;)
Densha Otoko this ain't I guess.
Not enough stick-to-it-iveness in the group. :(
Have you asked her out yet, 352?
Sorry, no.
>>446
for lack of BACKBONE
watch and learn, boys.
