i hate dating because:

- everyone is so obsessed with making a "good impression". NO ONE IS THEMSELVES
- it's awkward.
- there's so much crap to sift thru...and by crap, i mean people that you're really not interested in but you didn't realize it until after you started talking to them on the regular so then you have to find some way to end communications without being an asshole and you know they're going to be pissed anywayyyyy.

that's just a few things to start us off.

maybe, call it "hanging out" instead of dating.

dating, sounds too formal...brings expectations too.

god dammit, tv, you just made me want to slam my fist down on the table and shout obscenities. SEMANTICS! dating, hanging out, everyone in the situation REALLY knows what it is and what's going on. we can dress it up in pretty names but at the end of the day it's fucking dating, i'm hoping to do you eventually and you're hoping to do me eventually and for now we're just hoping we can stand each other.

just for clarification, i'm not currently dating per se. i just decided to dip my toe in the waters a little bit. and already, i'm remembering all the things i hated about it in the first place.

=/



so its like when you drop acid again, and you start to feel it creeping up on you, and it all starts to come back to you as why you stopped doing it?

yes it's exactly like that.

ok so say you were dating or "hanging out" as some people prefer to call it (tv), and your date/"hang out buddy" (tv) says something totally ridiculous to you with a straight face, and for a second you're like "wait a second are they serious" but then they smirk at you. would you not find it hilarious? i love that kind of humor...people are so uptight

aliennation and tv are making incorrect assumptionsssssssss. i'm not stuffy or formal in any sense of the word. and no, i do not make banners that say "we're on a date!" and pass them out to every gentleman i "hang out" with. my point is. you can name it whatever you want, you can approach it however you want, but at the end of the day if you intend to pursue anything w/that person then it's dating.

just calling it like i see it bros.

it would be fucking hilarious though.

or since i'm too lazy to do that, i could just say, "we're on a date now" as soon as we sit down.

This, but click your stop watch as you announce it...that way they're aware of EXACTLY what's going on.

i really like where you're going with this. i could look at my watch and announce when certain things should be occurring.
"it's been a half an hour, when are we going to get to the "interesting conversation" part?"

Oh! you know what else you can do, is break out a steno pad and write notes every so often while your date/hangout buddy is talking.

tell them you're just "marking down observations" for later reference...and REMIND them not to feel awkward or uneasy.

"i'm sorry, did you say your mother's name was patricia? i couldn't jot that down fast enough."

ok ok, maybe this will help. it's the one with the funny smell to it that the police constantly seem to be visiting where a lot of skinny, stringy-haired rednecks hang out.

k so i'm being a recluse tonight (in case anyone hasn't noticed) and i swear on all that is good in this world, i have gotten:

- 3 missed calls from one guy.
- random "wtf?" from one guy because i didn't answer his question fast enough. when i asked why he was wtfing me, he said, in these exact words, "Do I have to explain, you cannot tell?"
- FIVE DIFFERENT QUESTIONS FROM ONE GUY.
- a text asking, "did i do something to piss you off? can you please text me before you go to sleep?"

i know it might seem like i'm trying to play up the situation, but i'm not. idk wtf is wrong with people.

Well at least the last guy anyway. Its not hard to answer a text.



its not hard, but why should she be obligated to respond right away?



Shes not. I just didnt see the last one as anything so annoying unless he sent like 7 texts before that text.
click to expand


he sent 6 altogether. that was the 6th one. i responded by saying, "i'm not mad. why are you freaking out?" his response? "you sound mad."
