haha we'll see. If things go well I might ask a girl to get coffee this week. Hopefully it turns out better than the last time I asked a girl to dinner.

We were kind of friends so she thought I meant grab dinner as friends, I had to tell her that wasn't what I meant, she said yes, but then realized she had panicked and was not looking for a boyfriend and so had to tell me that she was flattered, but no thanks.

Your mistake there was that you clarified that. Let them think it's as friends. If you're good enough, you can change their minds. **** the friend zone.
 
speaking of standards, I dreamed about you last night, Woo.


We were at the same grocery store and you recognized me after I looked at you and wasn't quite sure I knew you or not. Then we continued our separate grocery shopping.

Just to be clear... I do not dream about any of you. This is strictly professional. :jimlad:

Fixed it for what CG really wanted to say there but thought it would sound shallow.



haha, yes but for me at least it's attractive when a guy (or girl, wait don't read that wrong, whatever) has a career they are passionate about and good at. It's less sexy when you're living with your parents bouncing from one job (not career) to another without any real purpose or desire.

It turned out for the best because I ended up meeting my next gf a week or two later. And I didn't want to be stuck anymore. I wanted to be friends or date, but I just wanted to know. I did the "wait and don't ask" thing way too much in middle and high school

and isn't the problem that there's no ******* in the friend zone? :twitcy:

I've heard stories of cases where this isn't the case, but I suspect they were fabrications.
 
Researching washers this morning is making my head spin (get it?). Ugh, I hate major purchases.

Will probably take the 2 youngest to volleyball this afternoon. Oldest has 4 softball games (hence the 5am wake up call to get them on the road). Next oldest will be a game helper, and the game falls after naptime. I'm sure the first thing they will do when they walk in the door to Hilton is ask for ice cream.

are you making any progress on the research? While it's nice that we were getting all new appliances........having to pick and research them all at once was mentally draining!

I think she's looking for her parents? (thought I remembered "her parents can't internet" was related to appliances)

Asked a girl to go on a lunch date with me a couple of weeks ago. Cancelled the morning of, then quit talking to me about a day or two later.
 
I have post-doctorate type of experience in the friend zone stuff going back to when it wasn't even known as the friend zone. At least it has a name now!
 
I mean, part of it's that I'm in law school (and so around a lot of people my own age) and I'm also an optimist.

But there's other reasons for hope! I don't know if you've seen the tv show baggage, but it's an incredible dating show hosted by Jerry Springer where three people go on, share embarrassing facts about themselves and one of them wins a date with someone who also has a major piece of baggage. There's also a student in my year (we'll call him Gunner), who I'm pretty sure everyone who has classes with him hates (and we've only had three weeks of classes). He has a girlfriend. If the people on baggage can find dates and Gunner can get a girlfriend. You and I can get girlfriends!

Is the dude good looking?

plus you're going to be a lawyer and 2015 is whatever he is. The ladies like when guys have strong careers. So it'll happen.

If you were my damn FB friend you would know my title! :jimlad:

I honestly don't think I've ever just grabbed dinner with a female as just friends unless it was in a big group. But don't worry, I got friendzoned by a girl down in Dallas too. I didn't want that so I just stopped talking to her :rolleyes:

I am looking, my dad was trying to be "helpful" and pick them out for me. One downside when someone else offers to pay for them. I told hubby depending on how much input I get, I may just offer to pay for them ourselves . . .

I like an LG model, but CR has stopped recommending LG top loaders because of their repair history. I don't like that, but online reviews from actual consumers and friends are still high. So not sure what to do.
 
2015:

Excluding women as just friends runs contrary to my Decoy Theory, especially for young guys. It's kind of a decoy and ducks on the pond thing. As long as your friend zone gal* accompanies you and others out to some hot spots it can be all good. Gals in your group can be great decoys. Single gals at a bar might see your group of guys as a predatory gang of bar pigs or just a gaggle of losers. Throw a couple of gals into your group and it advertises to everyone that women associate with you. Sort of a visual seal of approval.


:rolleyes:

* Does not work if your zone gal does not want you while also not wanting anyone to have you (worse case zone where she is not really even your friend). Also does not work if you have some sort of crush on zone gal (other other gals will intuitively sense this).
