Everyone i know keeps telling me "ErMerGerd i should set you up with so and so", i'll say sure then they stop mentioning it. Quite annoying.
Had some feels for a girl, we were hanging out for a while. Going out and such, then decides she'd rather be with some d bag, who she was seeing prior to me told me how much better i am than he was. Keep in mind he is 28 works in a restuarant where i am 23 recently graduated and have a full time salary and job.... where does that make sense???
Classic situation of girl leaving nice guy for an jerkstore.
Are you saying he's a dbag because he works in a restaurant, and you're a nice guy because you have a full time job and money?

Touche. I'm saying this based on what she had been telling me the entire time. And basically my friends all call me Good Guy Greg, i'm too nice at times.
Something I learned today: it is possible to catch feelings while moving furniture in a colleague's office. There are sexual innuendos aplenty to be bandied about, which may or may not constitute flirting. And there may or may not have been blushing at the mention of pegs that wouldn't slide into a tight hole in a bookshelf because it's too big...and other similar comments. Most academics are painfully dull; it's a treat to find one whose mind is not only brilliant but just as dirty as your own.
Days like this, I love my job. Most fun I've had all week.
To be clear... it involved ZERO sweating. There was maaaaaaaybe a little grunting while moving 1 bookshelf all of five feet then moving a small table. Our building is very air-conditioned; no chance of perspiration after a few minutes of physical activity.
Y'all are a bunch of pervs. I love it. ;D
EDIT: In my defense, it's hard to resist innuendo that starts with him saying (in reference to my traffic court appearance yesterday) "So, I heard you got off?" - Yep, sometimes a sly grin & a suppressed giggle is all it takes to set the wheels in motion...
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
Holls, that fellow academic sounds very interesting
I've just undergone a major status change, as most of you know. I am by no means ready to re-enter the dating scene, and don't think it appropriate for me to do so yet. However, I'm not sitting around covered in sackcloth and ashes either.
My problem is that I forget how old I am...lol. I still feel like a 30 something.
I don't know what to do with this older woman I've been seeing. We are going on a date tonight, first one in over a week because we both went on different trips for the Chuseok Holiday (Korean Harvest Holiday). I went to Japan with one of my buddies, while she led one of the Seoul Hiking Group's (how we met) trips to Namhae beach for Oktoberfest. What happened between our last date and now has brought up familiar bad vibes from past experiences and has overall reminded me how insecure I can get.
When I was a junior in college, like early 2009, I met a beautiful girl at a dance party and we started going on a few dates. Spring Break was about to start and we both already had our own trips planned. I went backpacking while she went on a crosscountry road trip. I was looking forward to picking up where we left off after this 7 day break, but sure enough when I got back she had gotten close with one of the boys on her trip and was no longer interested in me in that way. Moved to the friend zone. I was pretty hurt and we pretty much stopped talking.
This situation is very similar. This older korean girl and I have gone a few dates and had a really good time, but with an extended break coming up where we wouldn't be around each other I was irrationally afraid of something like before happening again. Sure enough I noticed the cutesy, flirty texts stopped happening. Ok thats fine. You can only keep that up for so long. Then when we get back she posts pictures of her trip and she is like really close to this German guy in a lot of her pictures. I try to think nothing of it. She was on a beach, leading a group of foreigners on a fun, holiday trip. She's allowed to meet people and have fun.
But last night, Psy, the Gangnam Style international phenom, played a free concert in Seoul Plaza. 70,000 people were there. I went with some friends, got drunk, had a good time. I knew she was going. But when she posted a few pictures of it last night, it was with that same German guy she had just met. Just she and him. She didn't bother telling me.
I know after knowing her for only a few weeks and after only 3 dates, She isn't 'mine' and we aren't 'together' or anything, but I don't know what to do. Tonight is our first time going out together in 9 days. My question for advice is do I bring up what I saw on facebook? and risk exposing my insecurities as a slight creeper?" or should I put trust in her and keep on going with the program like I never noticed anything. I really like her but I really don't want a repeat of what happened 3 years ago. What would you do in this situation?

jp, that sucks, but that's where you are in this dating situation.
I would definitely not bring it up. As you said, you do not own her, you're not exclusive. And only bad things could come of it. I know if a guy I was just dating brought up something like that, it would be the last time we went out. Especially if it's not immediately followed by a talk about wanting to be exclusive. It doesn't sound like you're ready for that yet, so....
Continue being your charming self. If you're still interested in this lady, keep seeing her. See where it goes. Don't hit the eject button because of a flashback to a previous situation.
I agree wth CKS but would add that you should keep a close eye as things get more serious. At this point, see where things go. If she does not post the fun she is having with you, then that could be an indicator. Most importantly, have fun. If it is causing you too Mich stress, it may not be worth it.
Well the date went well I guess. But there was some weird tension leading up to it. We were meant to get dinner and then go to Hongdae (big bar scene in downtown seoul), but about two hours before meeting up for dinner she calls and says she is sleepy and wants to take a nap and cancels dinner, and moves the meetup to about 10:30 (two hours up). Then at about 10 she texts me and says she just woke up and is still very tired. I got the feeling that she was trying to flake so I called her to quit ambiguity, and that got her out. Met up around 11:15 and stayed out all night until the sun came up.
We had a great time dancing, drinking, playing pool, and even got some kisses. But I can't help but feel it was a little insincere on her part. Like she did it all just to make me happy and not because she really wanted to. I don't know why. I must be crazy to think a girl would stay out for over six hours doing all that just to play me. But I don't know. The whole thing leading up to it almost having to push her out the door just to go out put a bad taste in my mouth.
Here's my (unsolicited) two cents' worth from a female's perspective: if a chick wants to be with you, she will move mountains to make it happen. She won't flake out. Sure, she might be tired & really want to take a nap. Hell, I did that recently...slept right thru some "plans" I'd sorta kinda made.
Bottom line: she's giving you clues. It might be better to gracefully exit now before you get attached. It's much less painful that way...
