TAN #160: Just farTAN' around as usual ... (Page 38)

Speaking of suits... yesterday I was walking behind a guy a work and it appeared he had grabbed pants and jacket from two different suits??? It wasn't like BLACK and GRAY - that could possibly work. It was GRAY and BROWN. 

Is this a new trend I'm not aware of, or did this guy just get dressed in the dark?

Any charting or reports on the Doctor?

Oh dear the fashion police are out.  I'm glad BT doesn't have video COJ chat yet. 

I feel uncool.

I am a geeky technical guy which is perhaps the definition of uncool.

I am a nuclear engineer.  Nuclear is uncool according to some.

I am an old guy which is also uncool by most accounts. (Why is it DOM instead of DOG?  I always thought the latter was the more clever acronym.  Given the choice, I would rather be a DOG than a DOM.)

My dearest JWKMH is in the fast food business which is generally uncool in BT.

I am a liberal which is roughly the same as a chicken in an alligator pond in CoJ these days.

Take care.  I'm out of here.

Doc date last night was very MEH. A little awkward, not much conversation. I get that he is exhausted from saving lives and started a difficult rotation this week and has to give a lecture this weekend - yeahyeahyeah! But it was weird. Got a kiss good night (?) and went back into the bar for more drinks alone. Yup. I'm that girl.

Plans for two separate outings with two different guys this weekend. Unfortunately for me, I am firmly in the friend zone with both of them. I think.

Keep the hopper full, and the boundries of the friend zones change quickly so bring your A game!

Oh, don't I know that!
Actually both of these guys have been FWBs at one point in the past... see? People CAN stay friends after that kinda stuff...

I an very respectful and honest.....but I tend to put very little effort forth until I have decided they are worth it and earn it. 

Iowaman - 2012-02-03 1:44 PM Have a great weekend ya'll. I'll gain a few pounds Sunday with a superbowl party. Talk at you later.

Kido - 2012-02-03 3:47 PM

I didn't mean that I put forth fake enthusiasm.

I'm just saying that I get SO excited to be with a girl I'm into, that I just have natural enthusiasm.  I would go with limited sleep, or whatever, because I'm excited to be with them.  If I'm legitamately tired, I will let them know and ask for another date to make it up.

Right, isn't it funny how litte sleep you can get when in that phase and there are no signs of tiredness the next day? 

I love that feeling of you can't wait another second to be with that person

Kido - 2012-02-03 3:50 PM

Just a quick question.  If you don't put an effort till they earn it.  What if they do the same thing?  And feel you are not worth putting in the effort till you earn it? 

Then you both dont' try and you could miss out on a great thing.

But sometimes you just "know" if someone is worth it or not.  Or into you or not.

NRG42 - 2012-02-03 3:15 PM

Better way of putting it:

Of course I have to put effort, shower, usually shave (just in case), get cute, lotion up (again just in case), pluck, smell good, put on cute panties and bra(again just in case) and have good talk, fun and flirting.....but I dont go out of my way to fitting them into MY schedule, jump at the chance to see them, cook a nice dinner/breakfast for them, or do special little things to show I care until I know feeling from both parties are both there. 

Does that make sense?

Remember I am new at singlism too....I will learn for mistakes as I go.

That's the catch 22 of it all.  If you do those things then 50% of the time they think you're coming on too strong or are too needy.  If you don't do those things then 50% of the time they think you aren't interested.
