And you"re saying that you"ve been finding the answers in the sessions, with the help of the direction the therapist gives you but without much input on her part? I would say that sounds like it"s going pretty well then.

Spoke with the baker briefly while driving back to my office from lunch. The conversation was very quick, we just confirmed the time and place after a bit of small talk, and that was about it. I"m not sure exactly what you are saying here. Are you implying that it"s a bad thing or a good thing...

This could turn it around for Arbitrary! Haha, so I guess as usual the board is united in their disapproval. Ah well, we shall see how it goes tonight. I ended up not calling her last night, went out for some beers with some buds unexpectedly and more or less forgot. When I did remember, it was...

lol, no shit the relationships didn"t work out, but the hockey tickets had nothing to do with any of those reasons. Although in hindsight, none were first dates. Anne I"d already hooked up with prior to leaving for Japan, and then right when I got back I"d met her and her friends at a bar and...

Fuck yes. Thank you. Can you start a public awareness campaign and get the word out to all the chicks who wear that shit? It makes their tits look horrible and that they"ve got a gut. They"re AWFUL. It"s not costing me anything, in terms of the date. Maybe dinner, unless she offers to pay. It"s...

Righto, gonna keep the face out though. However in return, do you think that the date idea, given the value of the ticket, is somehow pretentious or smarmy or whatever? Keep in mind, I haven"t make any mention about the price or the quality of the seats, I just said "hey wanna go to an Oilers...

Sorry, but what exactly is the issue there? Through my business, I have 4 "blue" seats that we typically give out to our guys or people who"ve done us favors on jobsites, promotions that kind of thing and then a half share of 2 "gold" seats. I like going to hockey games 10-15 games a year...

/livejournal, this post is mostly me just talking to myself. And setting up the narative for the almost guaranteed failure down the road. *cough* Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Gonna be giving the baker girl a call for the first time tonight. We"ve been going back and forth on PoF and then...

Refresh my memory, I"m not sure I know what you"re referring to.

I just don"t understand why some people feel the need to waltz in here and tell everyone they suck, or make fun of them for posting what is admittedly pretty much an online diary. I don"t give a fuck about most of the popular threads in the sports section, and I in fact think that MMA is pretty...

You"re so awesome man. I wish I could be as cool as you.

That reminds me, actually. I have a bud who also does the ski bus guiding thing in the winter, and we are often on the same trips together. He is the absolute definition of the alpha male. He"s decent looking, but not in the greatest shape. He"s got good taste in clothes etc, and he absolutely...

I could totally find a way. I guarantee it.

Well no. I"d like to think most cultures with arranged marriages have clauses in there for disposal of fat bitch wives. Double your dowry!

Totally dependent on the girl and how the conversation has flowed. Some were asking me for my number or Facebook info within a couple messages, some I went back and forth with for weeks and got weirded out when I tried to move it off the dating site. As far as the convo I posted above, I"m...

It"s really amusing how some girls, or even most of them, are completely unable to maintain a conversation. Whether that"s online or in person. I mean, I can understand in person when you"re first meeting someone being nervous and not knowing what mutual interests you have. But online you have...

Again, it"s really regional. It was started by a dude from Vancouver, so it seems like it"s very popular throughout Canada, but less so in a lot of parts of the US. I agree the design isn"t mind blowing, but at the time same it"s a pretty functional site. I found Match.com to be confusing as all...

While we"re on the subject, any advice to offer on my profile? I"ve posted it in the past, and made some changes based upon what people had to say: The interests section has about 15-20 things listed (camping, skiing, that kind of thing). Reading through it again, I wonder if perhaps the last...

I have spent many an hour perfecting mine, you may not have it! Seriously though, I hate writing them as well. No idea if my current one is any good or not.

Yeah, I think it depends on the girl"s personality and her past experience with dating. Xerxes within a message or two declared that we should exchange Facebook info so we could "creep" on each other, soon after she wanted to exchange numbers, and after a few texts and one phone call she began...

heh, I don"t know if it"s cause summer is almost over, but I didn"t do anything to my profile and got messaged twice over the weekend. Perhaps POF featured my profile somewhere, I dunno, but suddenly 20-30 new chicks showed up on "viewed me" in the past week. One girl said "hi how are you" and...

^and/or look for loopholes or shortcuts.

Unfortunately, yes, that"s pretty much it. Most women don"t have a fucking clue how their own minds work. This is common knowledge, and incredibly frequently demonstrated by all of the women who say "oh, I just want a nice guy who"ll treat me well and not play games" when that"s pretty much the...

haha, I should so troll the local Home Depot plumbing classes. "Wow, you"re good at this!" "Yeah, been a journeyman for 6 years." "Ummm, why are you here then?" "What are you doing for dinner?"

I"m 28. I don"t think you"re directing this at me, but for the record Anne turned 25 a few weeks back, so there wasn"t a big age gap. But fully agreed, I think in all but a few cases, a guy in his late 20"s dating a girl in her early 20"s is kidding himself if he thinks the relationship will...

Sometimes that"s one of the hardest things to deal with, is the lessons you"ve learned from the relationship. I look back on what happened with Anne and I kick myself, because I went in to it thinking I"d learned my lessons from Chuck and to a lesser extent Xerxes, but then went right ahead and...

heh, the title of the thread kind of indicates that the subject matter will invariably at some point be "poor me" kind of posts!

^I find it entertaining, although in truth I skim a lot of his posts. But I think it"s been obvious for awhile Brad"s got some strange shit going on upstairs. The whole "I don"t kiss" thing just took it to another level.

^You"re absolutely right about females vs. males in terms of friends. Most girls will have one or two extremely close friends, and then a larger network of friends that come and go. But even those one or two extremely close friends can be tossed aside and replaced every couple of years, as you...

Hey, I already said in another post that I"m well aware that the best thing for me to do right now is find some random play, and that if I had in the previous month or two I"d be much further along. But it"s been slow!

When we first started dating and she was staying over, she"d often out of nowhere ask random shit after 10 minutes of silence, and I did find it kind of endearing. I would imagine she knew that. Not getting much, as I said, other than picking at the scab. You"re absolutely right about the first...

I"ll take a look at OKCupid. As far as Anne goes, I sent her a quick reply congratulating her on joining the rest of us in the 21st century, and left it at that. Sent it at 5:45am though, just to be a jackass.

Righto then. Notice it said "trying"? For whatever reason, she managed to do a good number on me, and I still definitely have feelings for her. So while I"m trying to avoid contact etc, which I have done (and I certainly haven"t given any indication I want to hang out as friends), when she...

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: So nothing to report since those last texts, a little over a week ago. Then out of the blue, I get a text from her tonight: "I just wanted to tell you that I have not been missing appointments because I use my BB calendar. I just thought you"d be proud "...

^often times the plumber"s given wrong measurements to go off of, as well. Not saying that"s what"s happened there, but most of the time when we have a problem with misplaced sleeves in concrete buildings, they"re all out exactly the same amount. Gee, could it be that the carpenter or...

Troll another thread, jackass.

My point isn"t that it"s particularly hard. I just get my hackles up when I see someone saying "oh, any idiot can do plumbing, that shit"s easy, not like electrical!" Both if done improperly can be a serious hazard to your health and your family"s. Neither are all that difficult for what the...

You"d be shocked how easy it is, actually. Look under your sink, see that P-trap? That 1.25" of water seal is all that"s between your home, and the sewers (some places have building traps where the sanitary enters, as well). Depending on the jurisdiction, some sewers aren"t all that bad, but...

You fuck up plumbing, you can kill the occupants of the building with sewer gas. Or potentially burn down or blow up the building. It"s not as simple as people seem to think it is. But provided that the work will be inspected by the local authority, the average handyman can do basic renos to his...

Heh, fair enough. I had been drinking for about 8 hours in the hot sun at that point, it"s amazing I could write anything coherent. Thanks again for the interpretation. I don"t really need any interpretation to the texts I"ll post below, just adding them to continue the narative or something...
