OT-How Long To Call?

[Ctown-Fan]

Ok, so this might be a bit of an odd question, but I expect the responses might be interesting . . .

Since my last girlfriend and I split (Jan 7 http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/frown.gif ) this has been the longest dry spell, without "dating" someone, for me in eight years.

Tonight was a first for me, all my girlfriends have come from "academic" interactions (No actual dating, but spending a lot of time together before starting a relationship).

Anyhow, I got a phone number from this really cool 1L (1st year Law Student) from Case Western at a bar tonight (Damn, that took a lot of guts--or maybe it was the Gunniess http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif). Luck of the 4th gen Irish I guess. But what would people suggest about how soon I should call? This is after all new territory for me.

My friends all suggested that I give her a call on monday--and this seems about right. Any suggestions?

Yup...Monday would be good...plenty of time so that you avoid the "obsessive weirdo" label. But the real question is...do you know what you'll talk about when you get her on the phone? http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/wink.gif

She's a Law student, so I'll bet her Sunday nights tend to be either study nights or boring (or both!). I'd call around 8:30 or so to ask her to lunch one day this week, then say, "so what have you been up to today." That way if she's studying you can end the conversation and you still have (hopefully) have a date, but if she's bored, you might even get to entertain her with your witty repartee. If she gave you her number, then she's at least somewhat open to the idea of you calling her. Most women still like men to be forthright in showing interest. Call her tonight!

[Chief Rum]

If you have DSL or a cell phone, you could even let us know when you call, and then we'll write suggestions for what you should say as you're talking to her, if you like.

Just call us FOFCyrano de Bergerac. http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif

Joel, I know students (it's my job) and I say Tuesday.

You met her Saturday.
You can't call the next day.
Not calling Monday will make her "want" you to call - an important step.
Tuesday you do.
Simple.

I know it is hard. But short term pain, long term gain. I was even going to suggest Wednesday, but you can't wait that long I know.

By Tuesday you can set something up for the following weekend.

She's a first year student. She doesn't want major commitment - she wants fun times right now, so calling too early will send the wrong signal. Play it cool my friend.

Trust me - the next day is way too early, and then you always need a buffer day (plus Mondays are bad since everyone is in a bad mood or a focussed on work mood).

Anyway, your starsign (Browns) says "Tuesday is good for romance"

Invite me to the wedding.

LOL pass

Monday or Tuesday is fine. Cant stretch until Wednesday b/c even if she didnt have plans she'll make something up. Take her someplace nice, but take her someplace that has Guinness http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif

NoMyths, I have an MA in communication--I'd like to think I'd figure it out http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif

SkyDog, You have a valid point, but I might only be able to entertain her with my not-so-witty hangover. I didn't get up until 2pm today. (Note to self: Don't pose questions to the forum after excessively celebrating my psuedo-heritage).

Chief Rum: Is that a nose on your face or are you just happy to see me? http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/wink.gif Anyhow, if you have ever seen the movie Sneakers, you'd know how that wouldn't work. "And be sure to give him . . . "

Kosta,
I'd like to think I know absolutly nothing about Law Students, which has been proven over time. The only female friend I have stayed in touch with from High School went to Syracuse Law. My first long-term (2 1/2 years) g/f went to Minnesota Law, and recently got married. Always rough when an ex ties the knot. My last g/f (1 1/2 years) just started at Iowa Law and was the major issue in our breakup http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/frown.gif

She's a first year student. She doesn't want major commitment - she wants fun times right now, so calling too early will send the wrong signal. Play it cool my friend.

I'm pretty sure you are right here. Plus comming off a relationship (I don't do the rebound relationship thing) I don't want anything serious. Besides, she went to Tulane as an undergrad--so she does enjoy the fun times.

"Anyway, your starsign (Browns) says "Tuesday is good for 'romance'"
LOL! Does it say anything about me getting a job?

Passacaglia: That was a riot, maybe I should burn the "All your Base" song to a CD and play it repeatedly in the car if we go out. Even if it doesn't impress her in its lyrical genius, there might be important and effective subliminal messages imbeded in there!

B&B: Gunniess is always the way to go, but judging from my hangover I should stick to straight Gunniess and not the other guinness drinks I was having. I'll refrain from using the name here--since I could be construed as quite offensive--but its contents include Gunniess, Baileys and a good Irish Wiskey all mixed together--devastating stuff http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif

Hell, if this doesn't work nothing lost. I found out three different friends all have someone they want to set me up with http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif

Just call! Screw timing. You may not be here tomorrow...

If you're interested, you call. I've learned that much from talking to the female point of view. For the most part, they're baffled with the whole guy waiting to call bit. I no longer hold myself to any timing standard when calling a new interest.

Good luck Ctown.

[This message has been edited by Upstate_New_York (edited 03-18-2001).]

[Chief Rum]

Great reference, CTown.

I just had an inkling of what might happen.

1L: "Hello?"

CTown: "Hi, 1L. It's me, CTown."

1L: "Oh, Hi, CTown! What are you up to?"

CTown (thinking): ("How should I answer this? I think I'll ask FOFCentral!")

1L: "CTown?"

CTown (silently typing): "Hey guys, she just asked me what I'm doing? What do I say?"

1L: "CTwon? Is that you typing?"

CTown (clicking mouse and thinking): ("Come on, come on, refresh!")

1L: "Helloooo! Anyone there."

CTown refreshes the screen again, and sees a couple responses

1L: "I'm going to hang up."

CTown reads three responses

Quiksand: "Tell her your working on one of my puzzles, the one with the threes."
Some rookie: "What does 'OT' mean?"
Passacaglia: "All your base are belong to us."

CTown thinks and chooses.

CTown: "All your base are belong to us."
1L: "Goodbye." (hangs up)

I would strongly recommend not going this route. http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/biggrin.gif

Chief Rum

[Grunion]

I say Tuesday or Wednesday.

If you call on Sunday it looks desparate.
If you call on Monday it looks like you really wanted to call on Sunday, but were afraid you would look desparate.

If you wait until Thursday, it looks like your giving her a call because you don't have anything better lined up over the weekend.

[Blackadar]

Maxim mag had a survey on this one and the overwhelming result was that the ladies wanted you to call the very next day. They want to be wanted...

[The David Reborn]

Call, but don't ask her out. Invite her to log on here. We'll give you a few hundred character references. We can use the feedback for Solecismic/EA forum. Hardly anybody uses it anymore anyway.

On a more serious note, I have to agree with Blackadar. Let her know that you are more interested in her than in playing waiting games.

[This message has been edited by The David Reborn (edited 03-18-2001).]

[petrochile]

C-town, I say no earlier then wendnesday, I would say even go thursday. I hate playing games, but women love to play them, so you have to play them. By calling her on either of those two days you can plan something on saturday. The irony to this question is I was watching the movie Swingers yesterday, I say watch it and learn http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/wink.gif

[Ben E Lou]

OK. After talking with my wife, I'm even more convinced that tonight is the night to call. Don't play games with her. If a relationship were to develop, you don't want to build it on that foundation.

[Upstate_New_York]

You know, I can't count the number of times members here have said something to the effect:

"... hold on, my wife/girlfriend just said..."

Perhaps there should be a new forum FOF SIGS (for FOF significant others). Wouldn't that be interesting. Of couse, being single, I can say this in all good humor. http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif

Funny stuff, Chief Rum!

You should have gone with "What does OT mean?" -- since when does anyone listen to me?

"Will teach for TCY"

[3ric]

I agree with Upstate_NY and Blackadar. Don't wait to call her! The whole point of dating is that us males are going to be embarrassed about it at some time.

Lunch is a good idea too, but only if you hint that it's to set up a future date. You don't want her to think at any point that you want something _other_ than a sexual relationship. But it's her intelligence and personality you're interested in. Right?

As much as I hated dating, now I realize I sort of miss that "game"...

[RBwaBD]

while I agree that calling the very next day would be what I would do and think is best, I don't trust Maxim polls or what girls say to you directly a bit... What you are willing to admit (sometimes even to yourself) and what really guides your behaviour tend to be quite apart sometimes (in both sexes, btw.).

[Karlifornia]

I agree with whoever said call her ASAP because you never know what may come up tomorrow.

If you're handsome, ask her to lunch first. If you're an ugly duckling, ask her to dinner first (a dimly lit place with big menus to hide your face work well) so that you can win her over with charm before she sees the mess yo mama and daddy created (this is all from experience)

[NoMyths]

Btw, I just asked a girl that I'm dating how she felt that you should handle the situation. She agrees with me (and most of the comments here)--call Monday or Tuesday at the latest, but don't call before that because you'll look desperate.

Besides (and this is my opinion, not hers), what makes people attractive to others (in a dating sense) is desire. If she realizes that you really really want to date her, it's a turn off--you're too easy. If, on the other hand, you play it a bit cool, she (subconsciously?) realizes that you've got more going on in your life than just waiting to call her--and this makes you appear more attractive.

See,I never had to deal with these issues before. I must admit it is kind of fun in an anxious/anticipatory way.

I went to a college with 850 students, and If you did the walk of shame everyone knew by lunch.

Conversly, you no doubt had interactions with nearly every person on campus--therefor you could not avoid them, making the waiting to call issue moot. You already had some idea of what this person was like, so it made thigns a little easier.

Depending on what happens after I get off work. One of my friends has the hots for another friend of mine and I am supposed to help this guy out. Anyway, I mihgt have a legitimate reason not to call tonight.

If that doesn't pan out I may.

Haven't decided quite yet.

Anyhow, I'll let you all know how it goes.

She, might be at home right now thinking "Did I give someone a phone number at the bar on saturday? WTF?!?! was he at least cute?

At least on that note,I seemed to have had "World-Solving" conversations with her firends so maybe that will help in the possible reclamation of memeory http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif

[scooper]

If you don't call her tonight, I will. Uhhh, first I'll go ask my wife.

[Fritz]

CTown - I would call today before she makes plans with the other guy she gave her number to.

Obviously you are an utter failure with women so here is some of Fritz' wisdom.

Whatever you do be sure to lie to her right away. It is always smart to build the proper foundation.

Studies sow that women like the word Potassium. They find it both reassuring and sexual. You best work it into the phone conversation 3 or 4 times.

You may have to sell youself as a possible date. As a future lawyer she will want a contrat of sorts. I propose that you open you phone conversation by telling her: "I agree here to for with that I, the caller and male of the heterosexual dating arrangement, will never call, infer, nor imply that your ass or any part of you body from a line horizontaly cirumnavigating your torso at your naval down to where you buttocks meet your legs is fat, obese, or big boned."

Lastly, your inability to keep women may have to do with the size of your male member. To counter the affects of this I suggest you wear big shoes and stuff your pants on the first few dates. Do NOT use a sausage or other meat product as they tend to smell and attract stray dogs.

Good luck and let me know if you need any further guidance.

Petro,

I had red bull for the first time this weekend (that was the stuff you were talking about right?). Granted it was mixed with three shots of vodka so I don't think it necessarily produced the desired effects http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/biggrin.gif

Anyhow, with vodka it kind of tastes like Brass Monkey "That Funky Monkey."

I will be sure to check out Swingers--but I think I am going to call tonight.

No, I myself have no need to stuff the pants. The opposite problem holds true in my case.

But you focused in on the wrong part of my message. Not knowing you (naked and in person) I could only guess at one problem you may be having.

The real issues will be:
1) Your breath. Even across the net your breath is like the air out of a dead man's anus. I am sure no one has brought that up before, but I feel like we have bonded and I can tell you.

2) Your horrible stuttering. W W W What k k k kind of commmmmmmmmunication m m m m ajor were you anyhow? Print media I suppose.

3) Your sissy-assed beard. I mean, you have bearded lady quality facial hair, but we have covered that issue before.

4) Your reliance on Voodoo and the FOFboard to make life decisions. Puh-lease.

Ohhh, and one last thing: I know this the new millenium and all, but Skorts are for women only!

Good Luck. If it works out I will expect good tickets to the Jake (not those crappy touch the moon tickets the scalpers sell.)

Fritz, why you have sniffed the anus of a dead man is quite beyond me--to each his or her own I guess.


3) Your sissy-assed beard. I mean, you have bearded lady quality facial hair, but we have covered that issue before.

I am in training for the circus, alright.

4) Your reliance on Voodoo and the FOFboard to make life decisions. Puh-lease.
Fritz, you silly man. Everyone knows that 17 people have had problems using FOF and Voodoo at the same time. I shall not be one of them!
Just be glad that I won't start a thread entitled "Do these socks match my shirt?" if I do get the date.

Ohhh, and one last thing: I know this the new millenium and all, but Skorts are for women only!

But Fritz they are really comfortable when I am gardening--I guess you don't like that woven straw hat with the sunflower on the front either? DO you?

Good Luck. If it works out I will expect good tickets to the Jake (not those crappy touch the moon tickets the scalpers sell.)

That would be fine, but at this point it will be hard for me to get another ticket on the other side of the diamond from where I am sitting.

Red Bull & Vodka is a great drink, It made me feel weird within the first 20 seconds the first couple times I had it. How bout you C-town?

Well, you are going to call tonight, we want to know all the details, but please do not make the call collect, that shows her you are cheap http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/wink.gif

Unless you use 1 800 COLLECT, which would save her a buck or two. That shows you care.

[Ctown-Fan]

Didn't really make me feel all that weird.

I had already had several Irish C.B.s and quite a few Gunniess at that point. I am really not a vodka drinker, I tend to just drink beer. But it was a rare evening when I wasn't the DD (Fritz, a reference to designated driver, not man boobs).

Anyhow, i do think it gave me some psuedo-confidence and did make me more hyperactive than I normally am. Overall, I have to give it a thumbs up. I drink a lot of coffee so energy drinks don't do as much for me.

Usually though my drink at the end of the night is Jagermeister (sp). After I have had too much beer, I order a round of shots for my friends. Sadly, that usually empties the wallet--but I don't notice until the next day.

I'm sure that was to set up the joke, but I will clarify.

I live the furthest out from Cleveland of all my friends (about a 30 minute drive to get to downtown). Since, I enjoy going out to bars, clubs, shows, etc . . . without having to drink. I usually don't get to. I pick eveyone up on the way and then part at another friends house--from where we walk to the bars that we are going to visit.

I drink coffee all night, but may have a single pint of beer (always something good, like a gunniess or a local microbrew). When I am driving I never have more than one! I have serious issues with Drunk Driving, and would not hit the road in that manner.

Since september, when I moved back to the Cleveland area, I have had only four such occasion when I did not have the responsibility of driving someone home and was able to crash on a couch.

When that happens, I have no qualms about cutting loose.

Anyhow, in the last 8 years, I have had three long terms relationship that have filled a little over 75% of that time. Also, quite a few one-three month gigs that were fun. I just seem to keep moving from one woman to another--not a bad thing I guess.

But I am really enjoying my singlehood right now--I have been having a lot of fun without having to behave in a responsible "I have a girlfriend" manner.

------------------
Kent Reed! Kent Rite!! Kent State!!!

[petrochile]

C-town, I know how you feel about living the furthest and becoming the "Double D". Since July I have been living at home and all my friends live in Chicago, so If i drive into the city I drive in alone, which makes me automatically "DD". I have driven a few times drunk in the past and that was stupid, because I don't want to kill any one from my stupidity. I can handle killing myself with my own stupidity and could live with that eternally.

Well I move into my new pad soon, in the city, so no more DD for me or outlandish parking prices! I went to the Outkast concert Friday night, parking was $20. Keep in mind the ticket for the show was $28. That really peeved me, but it was a great show. Just had to vent about the parking.

Hey Dummy (CTown-Fan) - Did you call her?

"Did you get in her pants? She's not that kind of girl, Booger..."

[Ctown-Fan]

I attempted to make the call. I tried at 8 and at 9 last night. Neither time did anyone answer the phone.

I got a touch of answering machine anxiety and did not leave a message.

I shall regroup and try again this afternoon!

[ctmason]

Here's what you do, I just pray I haven't found this thread too late!

Don't call, just give the number to a qualified private detective and have him/her check her out. I'm talking Roto Rooter her past, man, leave no stone unturned. I want to know...uh, I mean YOU should want to know what her grandmother likes for breakfast.

Then call her up on April 14th, 14th, that's critical. Start speaking to her about her parents, her dogs that died and her brother that has been in and out of rehab. If that doesn't send her running into your arms, I don't know what will.

Or, you can do this, I've actually tried it. Call her up soon, or perhaps after an initial friendly conversation and tell her you want to break up. Lay it on her, tell her you can't see yourself with someone like that for the rest of your life and that you don't want to hold her back.

I'm not kidding, I laid that one on a girl I had known for some time and she thought it was the funniest thing, really scored me some points. 'Course about two months later she was giving me the ol' Yves Saint Laurent into the family jewels.

C-town, you are probably better off not leaving a message, because if you really mess it up it could cost you. if you have awkward silences in the message, it will look bad. Also you don't want to have an incident that occured in Swingers with the answering machine. I am sorry to keep on bringing that movie up, but you situation is drawing several parallels from the movie. Well good luck tonight!

[Wilzone]

I got a girl's phone number one time back in college and I called her the next day.

Here is how it went...my thoughts are in parentheses:

I make the call. Phone rings 3 or 4 times and I start to get nervous...finally she picks up.

---------------------------------------------------
Girl: [incoherent mumbling]...Can you hold please?
Me: Sure...(I am confused...I was just put on hold before she even knew who I was...Why would she do that? Should I hang up??...Getting pretty nervous here....Who would put a guy on hold like this without even knowing who I was???...She is pretty hot so I'll stick it out...she's definitely worth it...please pick up soon....WAIT... she's back...)
Girl: Thank you for holding can I help you?
Me: Uh...(can I help you? what the hell??)...uh...this is Chris, the guy from the bar last night.
Girl: Excuse me?
Me: This is Chris from last night...(oh shit, she doesn't remember me...what do I do now?)...
Girl: Sir..
Me: Yes?...(Sir??...she just called me sir...what the hell is going on here?)
Girl: I think you have the wrong number. This is Dominoes.
Me: WHAT??? What do you mean this is Dominoes?
Dominoes Girl: This is Dominoes Pizza, I think you have the wrong number...
Me: Oh sorry...Thank You (I must have just dialed it wrong...I guess I was careless during the dial...I'll try again...phew..that was close)

Re-Dial

Dominoes Girl: Dominoes, can you hold please?

------------------------------------------------
Now that I look back on it, it was damn funny. But at the time I wanted to strangle that stupid girl for playing with my emotions like that. She gave me the damn Dominoes number.

What's my point?? I don't know.

In all seriousness, just call and leave a message, its not really uncouth, is it?

Then, wait 24 hours (not to the minute, or else you'll become super scary psycho man really quick) and call her back.

Sounds like a good strategy to me. Heck, even worked for me a few times, but then again, you know, there's always the nagging....nag...nag...nag..."Todd why do you leave your socks lying around, Todd why don't you take me out more, Todd, why do you keep me locked in this room..."

Ah...I need a drink, or a doughnut.

SO I was just watching the cartoon network and I saw something that might just work for you.


You should persue her aggressively, grab her in your arms, and tell her in a canned french accent how you will lover her for all eternity. Then kiss her madly!

The key here is to follow her relentlessly. Trick the lady if need be.

She will be yours, oh yes, she will be yours.

[petrochile]

Wil, I enjoyed you DOminoes thread. I just didn't know what to say in response w/o looking like an ass. I didn't want to kick you when you are down http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif

This reminds me of a story that involves my bad luck with women.

About a month and half ago I went to a club with some friends. Got in there and was scoping out the scene on the dancefloor. Well they were playing one of my favorite songs and I was excited, so I asked a young lady to dance with me. She said yes.

I just wanted somone to dance with, I was looking for anything more, but this girl was cute. We talked for a few seconds and she said her name was Tara. I don't know what happened but she starts making out with me, and this goes on for a while, and well I was at 2nd base a little to long and it stopped, but we did dance for a little bit longer. I left, went to look for my friends.

I thought, the night is long and hopefully I can have a good time. Well with a few drinks in me I become more festive. I just start dancing through the club, instead of walking through, and a cute blonde catches my eye, so I give her some eye contact, and then we start dancing, at the side of the club.

We progress to the dancefloor and we are going at, it was "conjugal visit" type dancing if you know what I mean. Man, me and her were getting crazy. This was like for 30 minutes. I am like this is my lucky day. So my new friend asked me would I like to buy her a drink and I say yes, a Red Bull and Vodka I might add. I think her name was Sarah.

Then she says do you want to meet my friend, and I say sure. So Sarah introduces me to her friend. Her friend was Tara, the girl I was making out with before. They compare notes and give me an evil look. I just smile and laugh, take my seat next to this one dude and proceed to tell him the story.

I have all the luck don't I?

[Wilzone]

I can't think of a better chance to at least suggest a threesome. Did it cross your mind or were they too pissed at you??

No, I'm just kidding. That is pretty unlucky.

"Fritz, a reference to [the] designated driver, not man boobs."

I read that partial excerpt to say that as a reference to Fritz could have been meant to bring thoughts of either the DD or man boobs.

In any event, I'd have called the next day and probably also not have left a message. Of course, what do I know? My wife asked me out on our first date after getting tired of waiting for me to call. Wait a second, maybe that playing hard to get stuff worked afterall. . . http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/wink.gif

Wil, I should of suggested one, what did I have to lose? Getting beat up by two girls can only add more to this story.

C-town, it is a great story, and thats what I will take from it. Almost as good as my story of me coming home real drunk from Wrigley Field last summer. In short that story involves hitchiking, threatening a driver, almost getting hit by a taxi, somehow getting on a train and traveling 40 miles, a conforntation with a train conductor, and bumping into a friend who finally took me home. That is for another time my friend.

If she doesn't phone back by the weekend, you might want to hit the bars at the weekend and write "For a cheap sexy time call ???-????" on rest room walls to retaliate for her not answering.

Just an idea.

(I mean put her number on the walls, but if you're real desperate, you could put your own.)

At least you actually got her "real" phone number and not the local pizza place's. That is always a good first step.

The Plot Thickens: Ctown Misses Return Call, Learns He Is Still In Game

Vermilion and University Circle (E-Entertainment News)- CTown's call was returned by 1l this evening, only have not to have been home when it was made.

Sources confirm that the message was upbeat and did not appear to have any "what have I gotten myself into," tone to it.

Ctown made a quick run for coffee at approximatly 7:45pm, before settling down to watch ED his favorite television show. Upon checking the phone messages after the program, he discovered a message from 1L during the time period of absense.

Ctown was quoted as thinking, "How in the Hell did she know when I'd be gone."

At 9:15 Ctown returned the call, but to no avail, 1L was gone, and he was left with the answering machine again. The game has turned into phone tag, but now 1L is it.

"Phone tag can be a frustrating time," Ctown's thinks, "but at least I go a call back--this is a good sign."

Just thought I'd give you an update http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif

Originally posted by B & B:

Ed is now the only show I make an effort to watch on televison each week. I used to watch Drew Carey as well, but that has really gone down hill this year.

Basically, if you liked Northern Exposure, you will probably like Ed. The main love interest is not the same as the old rehased "Sam and Diane," gig that you see over and over.

It has some base comedy but mostly is a lot more intelligent.

A recent episode was an excellent interweaving of Walden and the several ongoing plots.

I also thinks it really appeals to people in the post college to 40 range. I know that I have drawn a lot of parallels from my own life out of the show.

A very well done program!

A funny side note, I got an email from one of my friends (who is a lawyer) this morning, which basically chewed me out for even thinking of asking out another lawyer. Evidently, I have already used up my recomended life-time dosage of lawer dating points, or something like that.

Fritz, I never used to miss an episode, but this year I haven't been able to watch past the first commercial break before I go back to the computer, or pick up a book, or run screaming from the house.

FF: Literally, since the end of football season I have watched no more than 3 hours of television in any week. Usually I watch [for QS]Ed[/for QS] and that is it. I have watched several discovery channel specials, a couple of soccer matches, and tried to give the XFL a fair shake. I just can't sit there because I find it really dull.

Ed however, keeps me interested for the entire hour it is on.

I guess I'll start here. We have wonderful Art and Natural History Museums, and the third largest threater district in the Country. So put that in your pipe an smoke it http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/tongue.gif

Upstate_New_York, Funny you should say that, they have a Picasso room.

The David Reborn: http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/biggrin.gif She did first actually!

Ok, here is the scoop. I had a fantatic time, she is a wonderful woman. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much! We shall be getting together soon to make plans for a second date!

I picked her up at Case and we walked over to the Art Museum. We wowed each other with our combined utter lack of knowledge of anything dealing with the visual arts.

She might be more of a cynical smartass than I am, and I didn't think that was possible. Found out she is from Nati (and I won't hold that against her http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/wink.gif) and she did go to Tulane as an undergrad. I impressed her with my knowledge of Postmodern Feminism and my ability to get the door and pay for lunch.

Oh yeah, she passed my biggest test. One of my biggest issues is that if you unlock the car door for your passenger, they should unlock your door as you walk around the car. It is a respect thing I guess. Well, she passed that test nicely!

Anyhow, after the art museum we went to a local psuedo-mexican resturaunt for lunch. we lotiered there until around 5 when I dropped her off at her dorm apartment. We exchanged email addresses and called it a day--she had to go to a required speaker a little bit later so that wrapped things up.

Nothing More you pervs. I was a complete gentleman!

Anyhow, she is much cuter than I had remembered from the bar (I was inebriated after all--HMMM . . . I guess it works in the other direction as well) and has beautiful big brown eyes--very expressive.

All in all, it was a very pleasent way to spend an afternoon, and I hope to see her soon.

So There! I guess I am not a waterboy again anymore!

[Passacaglia]

*yawn* Now I'm bored. Although, at first glane, due to your typo, it looked like you said you had a "fanatic" time. Once I realized that wasn't the case, I lost interest.

Ctown - I don't get the car lock thing. I guess it is just one of those things some people notice and others do not.

Of course, I have one of those clickers that unlocks everything, so my truck unlocks by "Magic."

They have "jello" products out that do not use animal products.

I am glad that you two hit it off. My tickets to the Jake will be where? I could be available for a home game at the end of June.

[Ctown-Fan]

Fritz, I have a car door that was busted by the Kent State Saftey Patrol (the one and only time in my life I locked my keys in the car) and now the passengers side is a frigged up.

I never noticed that they had animal free jello. Still probably won't eat the stuff. I have enough issues with pizza places that still use lard in the dough.

I might have a spare ticket to a game in July--I'd have to check the dates, but you would be welcome to come up for the game--as long as you promise me you aren't the really stinky guy that used to go the the VA Beach, Hampton, Norfolk computer shows (or you do laundry and take a shower before you visit) http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif

thanks mike! Heck, I was thinking never!

Anyhow, I am trying to round people up to make the trip down for the KC game at the end of next month. I looks like I will make it to an early crew game (unless it sells out)

[This message has been edited by Ctown-Fan (edited 03-23-2001).]

[The Mike]

Cool.

As long as it isn't the season opener, it probably won't sell out. Hell, I don't think the opener has even sold out yet.

And now for the most important advice I can give you for any Crew game...

Don't buy the plastic bottle beer from the vendors (Miller Lite)... sure, you don't have to leave your seat for it, but it tastes like plastic beer. They have draft beer at the concession stand (Bud, Bud Light and Miller Lite). Also, don't let them tell you they don't have Miller Lite on tap. They tried that with my buddy last year - turned out they didn't have it in his line, but they had it 3 lines over.

Finally, and most importantly, they stop selling beer with 15 minutes left in the game, so stock accordingly.

These are all lessons learned the hard way, and I pass the wisdom to you. http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif

This has been a PSA from the Columbus FOP. http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/wink.gif

No that is great advice for anyone. I know that when we go to Lumberjack games (minor league hockey, but still burly Canadians in Flannel) the trick is to walk to the uncrowded bar. FOr a quarter more you can get really good local microbrew drafts, much better than the usual stuff they sell at sporting event.

It does sound like I'll go with my Bowling Beer when I get there.

Where do they use lard in Pizza dough? I am very familar with Pizza places (Subby will have been to a few that I know well) and I can't remember lard ever being used.

You have just further streched my natural vegitarian paranoia.

I am NOT the stinky guy. I am the obvious shoplifter. You know, the guy who where the oversized trench coat in July.

However, my last trip to Jake in the summer was an experiance not unlike an ant being under a magnifying glass. Of course I was on the absoulte top row, about 5 ft from the sun.

So, if I am going to pester you into a ticket I think it will have to be for later in the season when the tempatures drop some.

I have the vegetarian paranoia as well (although I do occasionaly eat meat, chicken and fish generally). I don't think any of the major chains use it anymore, but if you go to a small independant resturaunt you might want to ask. The local pizza place we would go to in Orono still used Lard in making their pizza dough, my ex girlfriend was a vegetarian so we had to pretend when we ate there (which wasn't very often). Their pizza was excellent, but I thought I should be making candles with it or something.

Do you know the guy I am talking about? Always wearing a black leather jacket and had a greasy and stringy long beard? He was really nice and would usually drop a hundred spot at our booth on software. However, you could smell him about 30 feet away. Being the manager at the shows, I had to suck it up and help him with all his questions, I was very nice and polite, which is what every customer deserves, but I just wanted to tell him to shower before he arrived.

Have you seen that man?

Well, you might be out of luck there. I am pretty sure all the late season games are already sold out. We are trying to keep "The Steak" intact, and everyone wants to go to the exciting late season games.

[Da Bears Fan]

C-Town,

It is funny that you mentioned the whole driver side door lock thing. With the girl I am dating now, she unlocks the thing consistently.

But come to think of it, my ex-girlfriend would only unlock the door, most times, when I would tap on the glass for a little help.

Everything is starting to become a lot clearer now...interesting. All those warning signs that you never notice till years later...

[sachmo71]

Hope everything works out for you, C-Town! I had a girl with big brown eyes once....*sigh*

but if you go to a small independant resturaunt you might want to ask.


I will do that. The ones I have been associated with (I have worked in some and dated the owner's daughter of another) do not use lard.

No, but I was never much of a show-geek.

I though ALL the games were sold out. I assumed you had "connections", or season tickets, or a friend with season tickets.

[petrochile]

C-town, sounds like the date was a success, congrats. My real question is how do you feel that this probably has been the most popular thread on the forum in sometime, or maybe ever. I guess the funny name threads might have more post, but that is because of time. So how do you feel about it?

I defiantly have positive feelings about it.

I appreciate all the advice . . . even though nearly every post conflicts with the pervious one.

I have laughed my arm off (Note: respecting the_classic's wish to keep my ass out of the forum).

I have gotten to know you guys a little better and that is really cool.

I am a little concerned about the voyeristic nature of the board http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/wink.gif I wonder who will post their man boobs on the "Rate my Rack" website. So we all can judge them (Oh wait that happened in the what the Hell do you look like thread).

Also, it helped me to relax a little when I could have been sitting around stressing about the whole situation. Especially when most of my friends are vehement in their opposition to me dating another (future) lawyer.

I keep telling them that I try to keep good relations with my ex-girlfriends so I can get that pro bono help I will proabably need in the future.

All in all, I guess I have to give you guys two thumbs up!

I am touched. Doggone it Fritz, not in that way!!

LOL, I thought Pat's was pretty good, when I could get over my lard issues.

Pat's uses lard, and I don't think I ever ate at Pizza King. However, Pizza Dome had great $7 large cheese pizzas. They didn't taste all that good, but they were bigger than a tire--and on a grad stipend a good deal. Especially after a night at the Bear Brew when you couldn't really taste it anyway http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/biggrin.gif

Anyhow, we did go to Pat's quite a bit, not for the pizza, but for the Sea Dog Hazelnut Porter (2.50 a pint). MMMM, good stuff.

Pizza King?

We had one of those in West Lafayette, never much a fan of it, but that did have cheep beer, that is what I am a fan of.

The TV commercial for PK was wack as hell. It had a 3D computer animated, cartoonish looking, king with a pizza in his hand talking with an Italian accent. Also Gene Keady was in the commercial. It was the only time I never saw Gene yelling at someone!

Yep, Giordano's is excellent, and so is Geno's. Many great places to eat in Chicago. We might have bad sport's teams, but we have great food. For pizza, those that Daimyo mention are the places. Man I am glad I am eating lunch right now, or I would be throwing a hissy fit with all this talk of food!

[Passacaglia]

There used to be a Pizzeria Uno's in Ann Arbor, but it closed down. Not a big deal, though, since there is still the Cottage Inn and Pizza House there.
There's still a few Uno's around, though. One in West Bloomfiled, and one in Birch Run, that I know of. Good stuff.

There is one in Bangor and several in the Cleveland area.

At Hiram, I had a prof who worked his way through U of Chicago working at a pizza place. He made us a deep dish spinach pizza--the best I have ever had!!

[Daimyo]

I've heard the Pizzeria Uno "franchises" aren't very good compared to the real one in downtown Chicago, but I never tried one so i don't know... We do have a Giordano's franchise in Evanston (and all around Chicagoland I think) and I know its pretty awesome... especially on Mondays when all pizza is half price!!

Well, Fritz I do have connections. As a matter of fact I am now going to the game on April 7. As of five minutes ago . . .

Can't afford season tickets yet . .. but that is a goal of mine.

I have a lot of friends that get tickets all the time . . .so do I for that matter.

However, I usually don't know until a few days before the game.

Actually, that is how I scored tickets to two browns' games this year--although I wisely passed on the season finale against Tennessee.

Giordano's pizza is really something special. Worth the trip to Chi-town, even if you don't catch Sue.

[Wilzone]

I can actually see why this thread turned into a pizza discussion though. Think about how boring his story is. No wild and crazy sex. No dirty talk. No discussions of booze, drugs, or handcuffs. His "nice guy" routine was boring us to death and pizza actually became a more exciting topic. I just wish calzones could have been included. I apologize for including the calzone but he hadn't been heard from in a while.

Wilzone

[Fritz]

Wilzone,

There is a place called Calz in Norfolk. Unfortuately the sell chicken wings.
----

You have to wonder if this woman went back to her place after the date, looked at her room mate and said "there was No wild and crazy sex. No dirty talk. No discussions of booze, drugs, or handcuffs. His nice guy routine was boring me to death. A pizza would be more interesting. Want to order a pie?"

[Wilzone]

You really do have to wonder, Fritz.

Oh...to have been a fly on the wall in her apartment when she arrived home. Then we would know the truth...whoops...I forgot that flies are incapable of communicating with humans. Well at least the fly would know.

I'm sure she was disappointed that he didn't at least mention anything about handcuffs. I thought that was standard conversation on a first date. Maybe that's why the girl gave me the Dominoes number.

[simms34]

Since we're talking about Pizza, maybe some of the other DC folk can back me up on this.

For my money, the best pizza I've ever had was at Bugsy's (nee "The Penalty Box" -- I think it also used to be an Armand's) in Old Town Alexandria. It's a dinky little place on King St. that was primarily a sports bar upstairs, but the restaurant downstairs had the most unbelieveable pizza. We used to eat there just about every Sunday for their all-you-can-eat buffet, but none of the friends or relatives I took there ever left their meal with quite the same sense of enthusiasm. They thought it was pretty damn good, but always stopped short of calling it the "best."

Anybody else really like their pizza, or is it just me?

FWIW, Pizzeria Uno in G-Town or Bertucci's (if you're into Italian pizza from a wood-burning oven) in Old Town or Tyson's Corner came a close second. But I always went back to Bugsy's.....

There's just nothing here that really compares. http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/frown.gif

she might have checked it, but was running late and didn't have the time to reply with an appropriate message.

I want to echo Da Bears Fan's good advice--don't get too anxious too early. If you call/email really soon after your dates (like the next day when it's a non-um-physical date) you're going to seem obsessive. She's not playing waiting games--she's either not around, or she wants to wait a bit to see if you're as psycho as you're starting to come off http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/wink.gif . Just DON'T appear obsessed--interested and obsessed are two different countries, my friend, and the penalty for crossing the border is usually death.

I dunno C-town, I would of let her make the next move. Don't worry, maybe she has things to do, just don't try to read into things it makes it worse.

BTW I got a strange e-mail today, from www.CrushLink.com (http://www.CrushLink.com)

Somebody has a "crush" on me and the used the above website to send me an e-mail saying I have a secret admirer. The give me like a number for this e-mail. They say if I enter this # I can find out who it is.

So I go to the website, put in the #, and hope to find out who it is. You must first make a list of who you think it is. If one of them is the people who sent it, then you find out. If not, those people get the same e-mail as you did, "You have a secret admirere..."

I am curious who this person is. I am feeling my friends are playign a joke on me, which it kinda funny if they do, but Ido think it could be a few girls. I do not want to put them in the list because it seems like I would have a crush on them, but I don't. I guess I will never know. I thought the internet made these things easy.

Simms - Never been to that place but my girlfriend lives off of King St. so I'll have to have HER take ME there.

C-Town - While I've veered slightly off-topic again, I have also stayed on-topic. Notice my use of caps. She will take me there. I am in command right now in this relationship.....who am I kidding? I'll stop by the pizza place on the way to her house, get one large with everything that she likes on it and bring it to her door. What is my point? Like the dominoes story, I don't know what my point is. Oh yeah, my point is that pizza is the devil. That is why I like calzones. And don't get too involved too early, or you'll end up a confused mess like me. Sorry, it has been a long day.....

My sister and I went down to Old Town Alexandria once to hunt down a comic shop that was located there. I'm guessing the place you're talking about is the crowded restaurant that had the biker gang outside... about halfway down the main street. I think I might go check it out since I still have two days on my Short Rail pass...

There is a Pizzeria Uno in Georgetown a few blocks from the main campus and there is also one upstairs in Union Station. I've only eaten at the Georgetown location once because i'm never in Georgetown (except at my sister's graduation - the only time I ate there). Me, my sister, and her roommate used to always eat at the Union Station one though. Somehow I always ended up eating the barbecue chicken thin crust pizza even though I never ordered it (my sister always dumped about three pieces on me because it was too big for her).

I've never seen any bikers in or around Bugsy's, so I'm not sure we're talking about the same place. "Bugsy" is actually a former NHL hockey player (primarily w/ the Canadiens), and all in all the atmosphere is nice, whether you're up or downstairs. The restaurant is about a half a block north of the Torpedo Factory, so it's pretty close to the waterfront. Not sure if that qualifies as "half way down the main street."

Just call her later today.

She may be dodging you, or may just have some other reason for not getting with you. She may not read her e-mail all that often.

If she wants to out with you again it will not matter that you both e-mailed and called, and if she does not want another date you will know soon enough.

The only place you may face a problem is if she has some "baggage" unknown to you that deals with persistence.

I wouldn't say it's a game yet. Maybe her dog got sick and she went home. Or maybe she went out of town with her girlfriends. Maybe she wised up and decided there are too many lawyers in this country already and took the weekend to figure out that she wanted to go to clown school. Who knows? I say wait until Tuesday. That will give her a chance to call you today, and you won't look like a stalker. Whatcha think?

Less red meat and more vegetables might help cure this problem http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/wink.gif Although Beno would definatly help.

Oh yeah, lay off the miller light and colby cheese combo--that is a killer.

While she is vulnerable you should give her a good poke.

If you are going to do it, I would suggest laying some ears of corn around the bed. She will wonder what they are for, and keep her mind off your, ah, member.

I hear you man. My girlfriend right now used to um, "date" (more like screw around with) one of my best friends and I still have some problems getting over it. But he had no hard feelings about it (they only "screwed around" for a few months) and she has never mentioned anything about him once....so it hasn't really gotten in the way of anything.

She also dated Jeff Halpern (young forward for the Washington Capitals) and every time he scores I get a little jealous. I don't know why. I should be excited that a young, up-and-coming hockey stud dated my girlfriend, but for some reason I get jealous. I went to a game a few weeks ago and they had Halpern on the big screen doing a "Mission Impossible" skit (his mission was to destroy the NY Rangers). All of the girls were screaming....and I got a little jealous.

But you can't let stupid things like who a girl dated in the past get in the way of your feelings.....

Oh, Wilzone those are very good points, and I can understand your frustration--it is a perfectly normal human response.

I guess I should qualify the fact that I "love" her. She is a friend and I love her like I love all my friends. Nothing more than that. I don't, as Fritz so eloquently put it, "poke" my friends. That was a college thing that lead to too much emotional baggage.

Originally posted by sachmo71:

Interesting conversational linking:
We started talking about how students seemed so much younger than we are. She is 24 and I am working my way to 27. I mentioned that I used an activity in class that referenced out of date pop culture and sometimes aspects of the discussion failed because my students were to young. That led to a discussion of Big Bird, who frightened her when she was young, which lead to the fear of clowns--is there a phobia word for that? The irrational fear of clowns? How about the rational fear of them (IMO, fearing clowns is completly rational) anyhow, I am getting away from the issue.

The issue is that I can work anything into a discussion--although I will admit I wasn't thinking of Clown School when I brought that up . . . .

What a great movie, my favorite line from the movie is this one, "She migt have more diseases then that monkey from Outbreak!"

Man, that movie is in my top 5 of movies. I just love the begining when Hooper X is talking about Star Wars.

I agree, although I didn't really like the "all a lesbian needs is a good man" premise behind it. Does anyone else think Clerks and Chasing Amy were great, but Mallrats was a huge dissapointment? I know that I did . . .

I agree Mallrats isn't as good as the other two. Even though Clerks was very funny, they conflicts in it seemed more real and serious, not as goofy as Mallrats, but Mallrats is a very funny movie though.

"I should write down a reminder."

[Passacaglia]

Personally, I enjoyed Mallrats more than Clerks. Maybe it was because of the crowd I saw Clerks with (the gross-out humor got more laughs than the parts that were truly funny). Althouh, an interesting point about Clerks, I saw this thing on Bravo where Kevin Smith was talking about it, and he showed a scene that someone (I forget who) convinced him to take out. In that scene (the last one) Dante gets shot by a robber as he closes up. Kind of depressing, to say the least.

And I like Mallrats! Sure, it was goofy, but there's nothing wrong with that.

But of course, my favorite was Chasing Amy. I don't think that there really was a premise of "any lesbian needs a good man" -- after all, it comes out later that she wasn't merely a lesbian in the first place. Since everyone is spouting favorite lines, I'll give mine: "What's a Nubian?" Any scene with Hooper X is a great one.

Nooooo thank you.

If Clerks had ended the way it was originally shot, Kevin Smith's career probably would have ended there. Dogma was the best of all, IMHO. I work with some very religious people, and quotes from Dogma ALWAYS make me VERY popular with them...

I suffer from a fear of clowns. I speak about it to my students as my therapy. They always give me a hard time, but I feel better after I am finished. Clowns are freaky, scary, and evil. I had a little clown doll when I was little that tired to kill me. I have never been the same.

Is that what you call your penis, Zippy? And why don't you want her to find "him"?

Personally, I think Zippy is a poor name for a penis, it gives one the impression that that the deed will be a quick one, too quick.

You know, you talk about your penis an awfull lot on the forum.

[Ctown-Fan]

Zippy,

Feel free to kick Fritz in the nuts. Blackie would approve of that.

Fritz,

I actually have never brought up my penis in the forum--insert your own joke here--usually it is in respose to an attempt from you to challenge my manhood and its utility as a participant in special relations.

So I guess you would be incorrect in the comments.

I said you talk about your penis, and you say that you do not, and then you procede to talk about it.

An update (sort of) for sachmo71:
This is sort of in the same vein, but a little different . . . I am sure you will appreciate this. It shoes the underbelly (you know where your keys are) on human nature, but I believe it is perfectly normal to look forward to this. Heh--I will enjoy this.

This all of course depends on the success of the next date and if there will be future ones . . .

Anyhow, my ex-girlfriend and I still talk on occasion, and I don't find it to be an enjoyable expereince. One of the things she used to gripe about (when we were dating) was how she found out a previous boyfriend from college had started dating someone else. She called down to Boston to make arrangements for a wedding she was going to. She needed to talk to her ex about directions or something. Well, one of her ex's roomates answered the phone and said that he was out with his girlfriend. Needless to say she was a little surprised that he didn't tell her. Actually, she was ripsh*t about it.

Well, I feel that I need to tell her that I have begun dating again. Ah, who am I kidding, I want to rub her nose in it. I know it will really bother her. So, although that has nothing to do with my interest in 3L, it is an added benefit.

I'll of course down play the whole thing, but it will feel good to get back at the girl who dumped me in January.

Oh yeah, for those of you who might make rebound comments, we basically have been broken up since October, it just became "official" in January.

Am I spiteful? I actually think this is a normal human response.

If the ex was self-concious about anything (nose, ass, breasts, intelligence) make sure to throw into the conversation that ThreeElle has a "great x."

Also throw in "this is unlike any relationship I have ever had, I am actually Enjoying myself. Its not like work at all."
