Yay! Mind you, was it as good as my valentine's? I hate to be crass (well, let's pretend I hate to be crass for a minute) but after meeting my uncle for a few pints so he could vent about his crappy new job, I stuck around for one more pint, and pulled a lady whose puppies weighed in at 7 pounds a piece. Seriously. Best. Valentine's. Evah!

Say what? That'd be downright scary. I've never really experienced that when talking to people, though I def know how it feels, ack.

^^ *points at the embedded quote*

I meant in lieu of "something to say"

I genuinely can't do forced social conversation. Effectively being told "right, you've got X minutes to hold this person's attention and make them like you" kinda kills my mojo. Especially when they're in the same boat.

It theoretically results in one of two things:
1) Me being ******* money and them loving me
2) Prolonged silence and lots of mutual "right. okay, then."

I'm money all the time outside of a forced situation. Everybody loves me.

... really.

Weird. I had a dream about speed dating last night.

Its something I'd give a try, but I'd be scared. People don't tend to like me straight away... I have to grow on them over time, like a big wart.

That's always the way with conversations with strangers though isn't it? You either get into a flow more or less straight away and chat **** for hours or completely crash and burn. Well, I do anyway.

Mm, I've never had "forced" social conversation... speed dating sounds like it might be interesting and could be fun, but I'd probably just be doing it for that so I'm not sure if that'd be defeating the point of not...?

Do it mildly sloshed! I'll go with you. We can go speed-dating together! Just pay for my transport. I'd like to travel by camel, please.

I'm the same, when it's outside of social-type things. Mainly because I tend to be reserved in the everyday. Given a social sitch however, I'm fairly outgoing. And "overly friendly", so my best friend says. True though, I'll chat up complete strangers and spend part of the evening hanging with them. I sometimes wonder if that's safe, but... eh. Makes for some hilarious memories.

Yeah, that's pretty much how it goes for me too. Esp. in a social setting, when you're out and about. Otherwise, I don't usually give people I don't know much notice.

Well, unless I think they're hawt. But I think that's universal.

I am soooooooooooooo hawt.

Oh hell yes. Men wearing boxes on their heads are dead sexy. This, this is fact!

I tend to get along better with guys than chicks. Er, so well in fact that I've gotten into "trouble" for it. Other chicks tend to dislike it when you get along with their boyfriends better than they do. For obvious reasons. Gah.

I get along with older ladies really well, though!

Maybe you really are an old lady?

Like the movie "Big", only backwards: you're an old lady in a young body!

What's not to love about an older lady, though? The older ladies I know are awesome. They're fun, smart, funny and a couple of them give me cookies!

Mildly sloshed is the way to go...

I think for Impy, the term now has to be Mihf.

Then you get BJ of the other 6 and [composite word including 'f*ck'] the other 3 .. and that completes our extensive dating plan.

Not too loud, sades. I can almost hear Predabot going at an empty box of Cjörn-Flajkes (or whatever cereal he has) with a pair of scissors!

Preds can go [composite word including 'f*ck'] himself. With something large and spiky. I mean that.

Funny comment though, Rebis.

Best First wrote:i may be coming to Canada later this year...

Those aren't waggling eyebrows lurking behind that statement, are they? I'm shocked, truly!

Seriously though, f'real, or are you yanking my chain? When's later this year then? In my neck of the woods at all? If so, it's possible we might have an oppertunity to meet face to face, shock horror, and that might be interesting.

Bring Spidey with you, we can all go speed-dating!
