So why didn't you have a date tonight?
 
It's 12:50 A.M. Just curious, who didn't have a date tonight? And why not?

I helped babysit. That's my excuse what yours?

vivfox 08-16-2009 12:59 AM

I'm too tired and Christian is not interested (yet). That's him on the left.

That's a very good question. Why didn't I go on a date tonight? :mad:

brysondt 08-16-2009 01:09 AM

I went on a date tonight, haha. Whats wrong with the rest of you??? just kidding...

The man I went out with, Nick, is now going to be joining The Ledge. I can't wait!...or should I say "I can't wait, I can't wait...!"

daniellaaarisen 08-16-2009 01:11 AM

I am supposed to be reading three novels by Wednesday, plus a short story for my French class.

Currently have 100 pages read of one book, am halfway through the second book and the rest is unfinished.

Needless to say, I have no idea why I am on the Ledge right now.

:) That's awesome! Too bad most boys my age don't know who Stevie Nicks is! (Or they think she's a boy...)

brysondt 08-16-2009 01:23 AM

Exactly. Thats why I don't date guys my age. This guy is a bit older than me. I'm strange...I've never quite felt like I connect with guys my age.

If you date an older man once, it's harder to go back.

You're a Nicks fan, and you're going out with a guy named Nick?
Is this the hotdog on a stick dude? Better check his I.D.!

The boy I'm dating is technically older than me, but only by a little over a year. :) I'm kind of liking this older(ish) guy thing. :shrug: I don't know how much older I'd go though. (But if Billie Joe Armstrong wanted to date me, I'd SO be there.)

I'm seventeen. I now believe that anything under 25 is too young after dating more than my share of significantly older men.

a) I am going to hell
b) I'm gonna love it there if I can keep this up.

It's because I love you guys and, of course, La Nicks and the Buck.

I would much rather be talking about them than reading White Teeth (although Zadie Smith did, admittedly, do an excellent job with this novel...)




And now I just remembered that I need to fill an excel spreadsheet with all the contact information for over 100 Vice Presidents of Engineering for my dad by tomorrow morning. Awesome.

Musicman408 08-16-2009 07:10 AM

You all really crack me up sometimes!!!

Why don't I have a date?
"You know the answer."

Seriously though, once school starts, I'm hoping for some changes!

I bet if you tried you could have a girlfriend from your own neighboorhood. All it takes is some talking. Tell the girl you like how you feel. And then be respectfully persistant. People like being persued.

Just stay away from the marrieds.

markolas 08-16-2009 01:11 PM

I don't date because I'm in a relationship, plus people are just crazy. I'd rather sit at home and watch Judge Judy yelling at people.

Gypsy-Rhiannon 08-16-2009 03:34 PM

Single parent with 2 kids.. who have a father who is never around to take them off my hands. A date... what's that? ;)

There aren't too many girls my age in my neighborhood.

Every time I've like a girl, I've tried pursuing them... They just don't seem to notice!:shocked:

Chrislit18 08-16-2009 06:07 PM

why don't I have a date tonight? [or any other night for that matter]

many reasons.

1. I'm really not interested in anybody right now
2. I don't think any guy I've been interested in in the past is even worth my time
3. I'm very picky...horribly picky...and I'm about as shy as I am picky
4. The guy I have the most interest in right now, is, well, animated - but I do have a picutre of him on my iPhone :D
5. I have to set up my moms iPhone...again....
6. I'm more interested in my iPhone than a person....
7. I'd rather not date a guy I have little or no interest in, or better yet someone I know I'm gonna regret dating, because I'd rather save my special pureness [XD 17 and still haven't kissed a guy...] for somebody actually woth it.
8. Big Brother is on tonight.


I think those are essentially my reasons :lol:

and yes, I'm aware I went above and beyond on this thread :D

I read the spoilers for tonight, and you don't even know how legitimate this is yet.

Can I tell you that I just love #6?! I feel the same way about my iTouch, Blackberry Storm and laptop! Who needs men anyway? LOL

Black_Moon 08-16-2009 07:25 PM

I don't have a date because the boy who is interested in me has a girlfriend. And I'm just not getting tied up with a boy who's in a relationship. Plus, I don't cope well with guilt. If he wants me that much, he'll end it.

I do!!!
Right now I like Christian, Carlos, Andre and Danny. One of them will be mine soon enough. I also have pictures of all of them.
Carlos asked me to buy him a new pair of sneakers and I just might do it.

fleetwoodtrick 08-16-2009 08:11 PM

I actually have a date tonight, in like 20 minutes! :woohoo: Yay for spontaneous dates!!!

Ghost_Tracker 08-16-2009 08:18 PM

It's Sunday - - - Is that an acceptable excuse? :shrug:

I this was a facebook status, I'd 'like' it :D

and welshwitchpmd- I 100% agree- forget men!! My mom and I agree that they're only good for one thing ;)

seriously though, my priorites are not on men at all..and I'd need a guy with the same ones as me- technology and knowledge first- relationships second...for now anyways...

I have an "alternative theory" that it's because nobody loves me and everybody hates me. :rolleyes:

Same here. I'm 27, and I've never been able to relate to people my own age. That's why my guy is 38! lol At least he knows who Stevie is, and even remembers all her videos! :thumbsup:

Watch Elvis. TCM is showing a marathon of his movies.
Just do what Elvis does, and then the girls will notice you.

The trick is to NOT pursue them. Then wait until they pursue you. You gotta be a member of a group and make yourself "stand out" somehow. One very easy way to do that is to dress nice, which is absolutely mandatory. Dressing nice doesn't have to involve spending a lot of money. But there's more to "standing out" than that. Stevie said it best, i.m.o. - - "It's ALL in the way you say very little."
And you gotta look like somebody who's "headed somewhere" - - Women like guys with a little bit of ambition - but don't make it obvious that you're trying to sell yourself that way - "hints" are more interesting anyway.

Mostly, you gotta make yourself seem unavailable; 'cause scarcity has value.

Or the exact opposite of that or somewhere in-between. :rolleyes:


BUT . . . You won't listen to that. Hell, *I* didn't! I'm not convinced ANY guy ever does until it's too late.

And seriously, for the love of God, check out the X-Files - - - Especially the pilot episode:

"Are you familiar with a man named Fox Mulder?
Scully: "Yes."
"How so?"
Scully: "By Reputation."

Ignore that at your own risk!!!!!

But that's kinda an important thing. :) Hence all my life problems which really boil down to my tendency to totally screw with male brains in inappropriate ways. Sigh.

I went on a.... "date".... tonight. Yes, it is a Sunday.

It wasn't exactly a "date", we can politely put it that way. Definitely a good evening, though! :thumbsup:

You might have to be a little less polite!

On another subject...........
This place was rocking last night.
I felt like we were all playing tag,
those of us who were here after
midnight (my time, anyway).
COOL BEANS
