RIILF ?

But like Tom Waits said "Fishing for a good time starts with throwing in your line".

Heh, I've had to throw a number of catches back right away. Don't want them in my boat. haha, did I just say that? yes I did...

[Project Willow]

Ah yeah, the catch and release program. That one works well if you're just lonesome of a an evening.

[Peregrine]

Meh, gotta do it sometimes. I went on a date with a bloke Friday night. Seemed really nice when we were exchanging pleasantries by email. Then when I went & had a drink with him, total arrogant prick. Thought he was king shit. Was really pissed off when he sensed I wasn't gonna be bangin' him & got all huffy. Oh well, arrogant braggerts full of self-puffery don't turn my crank.

[OP ED]

guess i don't have a chance then.

[Perelandra]

I prefer imperiousness.

[Peregrine]

Hey, I'm all for a self confident fella, but if he's gonna get all huffy & act like a jerk because I don't think he's god's gift, then, well, uh-uh.

[Project Willow]

If a guy, or anyone, is telling me how great he is rather than showing me, well then yeah, that's a bore, and usually a sign of false advertising.

Yeah, you don't even reel them in. You just cut the line and they disappear beneath the water.

Saw a guy do that with a shark once, under the Golden Gate Bridge. I was about 4. It made a big impression on me.

I did have an online date once with a woman who was particularly aggressive. She seemed nice enough, and her photo was nice enough, so I went to a coffee shop to meet her. There was a tap at my shoulder as I sat reading a paper, and the second I turned around and faced her, I totally regretted showing up. Her picture had been taken some years, and many pounds, ago. She was round. Like the girl in the original Willie Wonka who turns blue. Not that there's anything wrong with that, if that's what you like, but she was certainly not round in her picture.

I didn't know how to get out of it, how to get it to end quickly enough, without being a complete asshole. So we stood in line to buy coffee and made smalltalk, and I have to admit the thing I most feared the whole time was running into someone I knew! Isn't that awful?

We drank the coffee and she kept managing to figure out ways to flash me her crotch as she told me about all the erotic fiction she liked to write.

It was a bad experience. That's not even like catching a fish, that's like thinking you have a fish, reeling it in and realizing it's a weed.

Nordic, are you by any chance David Brent? (That was his second blind date. His first is here.)

No, Nordic, that ain't awful. It is dishonest to missrepresent yourself with an old picture of yourself when it comes to the online thing, so really, she's the one at fault. And as for flashing her crotch, what class I must say on a coffee date...

Speaking of online dating, just got an email from a bloke that I was potentially going to grab a beer with.

I tend to let fellas know what I do for a living right off the bat before we meet & for the most part, they're pretty comfortable with that.

But I just got accused of trying to sell him my services, hah! Oh well, such is the case with online dating. And it is to be expected, sometimes.

'Tis a pity, he was cute, but obviously, um, not my type if he's gonna accuse me of missrepresenting myself. Oh well!

[beeline]

I gotta ask, are you a professional dominatrix? Just putting the pieces together...

[Nordic]

wow, that's hilarious. I've never watched the original Office, only the American one, my stepdaughter is a huge fan of it.

Yeah, I can relate. That woman seems a lot sweeter than the one I met with tho. I guess he was the unsweet one in that scenario.

[Peregrine]

I gotta ask, are you a professional dominatrix? Just putting the pieces together...

heh. yup. I also do Tantric massage combined with aromatherapy. You can find my gut spillage on this thread.

I can fully understand why the guy would be a little leery, as he said he was getting a lot of responses from escorts, but really, to come out & accuse me of missrepresenting myself kinda burns my britches, heh.

[OP ED]

should've posted your prices.

heh. not that it'd help me at all. OP ED is too much of an arrogant braggert full of self-puffery to ever spend our money that way.
