[OT] Hey there, Dr. Midnight, what's going on with your love life right now?

[Arravis]

rofl...
Tribeof1, that was me that said it earlier... and yes, I am doing that. But, the wonders of low self-esteem sometimes get me thinking bad things... it's rare though.

She's so amazing, it's unreal. She quotes Monty Python, Princess Bride, and Lord of the Rings, she loves D&D, and is just generally cool as hell. It freaks me out, lol.

Arravis--
If it makes it any better, I can't remember who says what in face-to-face conversations either. Hell, I don't even remember what I did last week (wait, that was spring break in New Orleans...)

lol I know what you mean. Well, I'll count my blessings and go on about my mostly blissful life. Now... if only I could figure out a way to make money out of playing D&D and posting on messageboards...

wao to go Tom

Ah young Padawain not sure in way's of dating you are, foolish and shy you are.....

Never fear Midnight, Old Doc is here for you ( ok no groaning now ) first off like the others I suggest you rescedule the second date for the weekend after sis leaves. But I'd go to Allison's house so Sis can meet you, least they won't think you're hiding.

No roses that'll look like kissing up, if anything offer to bring or pay for the take out . That'll give the girls time to talk and put a good light on you as being considerate for their time togather.

After eating and visiting for 2 hours or so LEAVE, but be sure to put your best face on and don't flirt with Sis.

The idea of bringing another guy along for a foursome is a bad idea, He might put you in a bad light on you but also he might try to steal Allison if she's all you said she is.

Well I hope this helps man I always try to help the Interns

Okay just read the update so most of my suggestions are moot, but now you got to impress the MALE friend too. So bone up on the local Ball teams, don't talk strip joints in hearing of the girls and don't try to out Macho him.

Who knows you and the guy might hit off and he'll either come to bat for you with Allison or you'll both bomb out and you'll have a new bud to go to the T-bar with.

Hey doc.

You’ve gotten quite a bit of advice already, but ill give you a little more anyway. Honestly I’ve always had a talent for getting the attention of the ladies, but at the same time my love life lately has been a little rough – I fell pretty hard for one girl (at 20 this was the first relationship I have been where I developed serious feelings for the girl) and we were together for a while yadda yadda yadda she doesn’t want to feel “tied down” anymore blah blah blah we become “friends with benefits” and the beat goes on until I announce that the whole situation is making me miserable and I need to be able to move on. So ANYWAY

Here’s my two (uh, make that four) cents: 1) Bring the one red rose. Roses are ALWAYS a good idea, personal experience has shown me this and no arguments will convince me otherwise.

2) Do your best to buddy up to the guy. It cant hurt things with Alison and hey even if it doesn’t matter to her you still have a new buddy. Don’t try to out macho him unless that’s just part of you “being yourself” Obviously be nice to the sister as well.

3) Don’t be fake about being outgoing but Try not to be too shy. Don’t be yourself THAT much. Shyness is a poor personality trait, a hindrance, it’s as simple as that. You would benefit the most here by being very sociable and outgoing. This is a chance to endear your self unto her family and her other friends, so go for it. But even if it doesn’t work out this time maybe you’ll get another shot. The other side of this is it could make Alison uncomfortable if you can’t find anything to say to either of them and end up latching onto her. Ask her sis what she was like as a kid, did she eat worms, ask the guy how long they’ve known each other, or make up your own questions, but just be social.

Point the 4th) You don’t have to take anyone’s advice. This is the most important point.

Honestly Doc I truly hope things work out for you, ill be rooting for you along with many of my fellow ENworlders whether you take my advice or not, seeing someone else’s romantic life come together even as mine falls apart would bring a very warm and fuzzy feeling into me heart.

Keep us posted and good luck!

Hey Doc. Glad to hear about that. If you ask me, you already won. Just relax and enjoy meeting that girl. For tactics and strategy: Be yourself. Enjoy. Relax. Nothing else helps. If you are nervous: that's ok, looks like she was too (good sign!). Just remember why you are nervous: you like her. Is that a problem?

Keep us posted and ask her if she knows about ENworld... (laugh)

May the sun always shine on the dagger in your back...

My advice is to ignore all advice.

Any advice is just going to make you "think" about the date. You don't want to do that. It'll just make you nervous. That's the last thing that you want.

Go into the date with the idea that you are going to have fun. No other expectations.

"The Tao of Steve" is a great movie. Steve has some good advice. "Swingers" also has some good advice. I've got a list of thier rules around here somewhere that I can dig up.

Geeks !! All of you Geeks !! Discussing Dates like 16 yr olds... well... hhmm... nice thread... I´m reading it too OH NO !!
Geekus too...

Some good advice has already been given it seems... overall thou I have the impression that you might be taking things in a slow fashion overall... which is good considering the way you guys met... but eventually it might signal reluctance or lack of desire, etc... know when to pounce...

Just curious... when will you tell her your a RPGer ? Dangerous...

More curiosity Americans when they dont live by themselves where do they go to make out (aka have sex) ? In the car is pretty uncomfortable... but for teens its the way... once a little older or better off we go to Motels here in Brazil

 

[Dr Midnight]

I plan to keep my RP'ing in the closet for some time... at least until some embarassing issues are brought to light in conversation. She tells me about the time her mom caught her making out with her cabbage patch doll when she was eight, I'll tell her I play D&D twice a week.

I dream of having a girlfriend I can get into gaming, but I don't really know if Alison has any geek ties. In the movie theater, one of those trivia questions came up: "In which movie is it confirmed that Darth Vader is really Luke Skywalker's father?" I leaned over and told her that I'd be really impressed if she could answer that. She just screwed up her face like she didn't really care. Gasp... well, I still have some probing to do. No one's COMPLETELY dislikes Star Wars, pardon the blanket statement- it's just a matter of finding out what degree of fan she is.

Right?

...Right?
