Locked it in. Date. Sunday. Be prepared for hearing about how this (It's sure to be) mess plays out.

You gotta give us more than that. At least profile the lucky young man.

Well, in the "Sexuality" thread, I had mentioned him a tad:

he asked me if I wanted to grab dinner with him and I said yes. He seemed like a nice guy and kinda dorky but thats ok.
Then I guess once I said yes he went full-on dork and it's to the point that it's really annoying.
Trapped.

I'm trying not to be a Negative Nancy, but if he says "that's what she said" i'm fuckin outta there.

Also, Asian.

Totes not racist.

Yes, are you pittying him, is he good looking, are you just looking for a free meal, is he a "she" (on this site I wouldn't be surprised). Tell us more!

No, i'm not pitying him. Actually I dunno, maybe?
When I met him, I was just shooting the shit with him and he seemed like a nice guy. I guess when he turned the "let's hang out" into "lets get dinner" I should have said that I didn't really see this going anywhere.

is he good looking

He's cute but I'm not really attracted to Asians. Is that racist? Cause then I'm deleting that comment...

are you just looking for a free meal

No way. I never do that. I know girls that are like, "Well at least you got a free drink/meal out of it." Kidding or not, that's always made me feel uneasy. I always try to at least pay for something, drinks or a cab or something.

Unless I have sex with the guy afterward, that's pretty much even then right?

is he a "she" (on this site I wouldn't be surprised).

Like am I really a lesbian? I think you'd know but now.
As far as him being female and me not knowing? Well, it is NYC.

Tell us more!

Um I dunno what to tell you really.
I met him at a bar and then he fb'd me. This is facebook's fault.
Once he started msg'ing me there, I realized I didn't have too much in common. It kinda snowballed from there. I guess I shoulda just said no? I dunno.

In a way I sorta feel like I don't say no a lot when it comes to guys because I feel like I should just be grateful someone actually wants to go out. But that's an issue I have with myself and I shouldn't bring some poor guy into that.

So any thoughts on how to avoid this problem in the future? Besides not going to bars anymore.

I feel a discussion coming on, feel free to move this if you feel it necessary.

On a totally unrelated note, wanna grab dinner sometime?

TOTES.

[MADfan2004]

Is he a hipster?

[PitaPockets]

Matt or the Asian? I don't think either are.

The only thing I feel like I can contribute is that in the future, if you aren't attracted or interested in a guy at all, say no and say it right away. Don't be an asshole about it but its better to get that out early. I can't speak for everyone but for me, there is an objective to dating and if that's never going to happen its kind of shitty to imply that it might. Not saying you did it in this case but plenty of people do and its really aggrivating.

I can understand how annoying it is, which is why I want to sort of plan accordingly so I can avoid these awkward situations such as this.

I want to say no without looking like a ****, because I definitely don't like the idea of basically looking like i'm taking some poor bastard for a ride and also, looking like a ****.

Today I got like, 5 texts from this dude i'm meeting tomorrow. I feel very anxious about it. I feel bad about this since I somehow was not thinking this would be as serious as he is taking it.
Nem and I were joking about Asian appropriate date outfits )Pikachu or Sailor Moon?) but I've decided if I dress like Godzilla that'll set the tone that I want this to end right away.
Joking aside, I think he's a nice guy, even though he's txt'd me 3x as i'm writing this. Just normal stuff though, not stalker-y stuff. Is the fact that i'm replying "leading him on?" God, this is confusing.

I figured since I have my own thread, I will just tell you more about my un-fascinating day. It makes me sound excruciatingly shallow, so read at your own risk.

I got up at 11, cause i'm fucking pimp like that.
I'm staying at my friend's apartment in Manhattan while she's away. I get $20 to sleep on her couch and feed her hamster for the weekend. It's not a bad deal really. She lives in this private apartment complex by the east river, which is nice but I suspect is really for rich people and young professionals that want to live in NYC, but don't like leaving their apartments or actually going our and spending time IN the actual city.
Anyway it's a HUGE group of buildings (14th street to 23rd) ad has its own park. I went out for coffee and got lost trying to get out and back in through the "shortcut."

Yesterday I shlepped all my stuff here from Brooklyn, only to have another friend of mine guilt me into going back to Brooklyn (not even the nice part, the RAPEY part) to look at an apartment. When we got there, she was shown the room, told the rent, asked about payment, and then told the room was not avaliable anymore (like, 5 minutes before you got here, seriously!) I was pissed because who the fuck bothers with all that? Spoiled hipster co-eds is the answer, btw.
She had also asked if I would help her move he belongs into storage, but I think she knew by the look on y face it wasn't happening. Then we went out for sushi where it goes around in circles on the conveytor belt.
That night I had planned on watching Ghostbusters in the park, but when we got there, she didn't want to stay. This girl isn't even from NYC, and already she is such a pain in the ass.

It's my friends birthday tonight but I don't want to see her. She's annoying.
Takes one to know one.

Jesus christ. He just text'd me again. HALP!

[NemesisDesign]

Ugh. Constant texting is so irritating. I've noticed that when I hear my text tone, my verbal response rapidly escalates when I receive more than 1 in a row. It typically goes:

1) Wha?
2) Alright!
3) FUCK.
4) *unintelligble*

However, replying to the text messages that someone you're going to go out with isn't leading on, its polite.

Is there a picture of you somewhere on this site. No offence, but I just want to know what you look like so I can really have a good idea of what were dealing with when it comes to your love life.

If someone is texting you a lot, just say you have a horrible plan and that every text to you costs you money. If you don't want to lie, you could also just tell him the straight truth that he is texting you too much and that he needs to keep it down a bit. I also agree with Nemesis that texting someone back is in no way leading them on.

Damn. Your life is so good, you don't even have to spell correctly! Seriously though, your life sounds better then my life will ever be. Just to listen to your life is probably as good as my life will get right now.

[NemesisDesign]

Wow. Tvman getting on someone's ass about spelling. I think there's a phrase for this but I can't quite think of it...

[tvmanismadformad]

I'm just saying I had to read some parts of that over again because they didn't make sense.

[NemesisDesign]

It's about 10:30PM Morgie's time right now. Right about now she should be pregnant with an Asian love child.

[tvmanismadformad]

I'm already thinking up a sitcom like storyline about the beginning of the date, and how it got to the love making. It's hilarious.

Offense. I don't remember hat I spelled wrong but i'm gonna pick on that. Offense. I'll get a recent pic up.

You say that now, but I'm sure you will have days just as boring as that and wonder why the hell you thought that was interesting.

Also, as per texting, of course I texted him back. I only stopped when I has no response, which is what I do with anyone. Much like the timeline Nem made. There comes a point wher e you are finished. I'm not big on texting.

[PitaPockets]

Also..

Not yet.
Since its 4 already, I guess it's later today.
Tonight was my friend's birthday. At a bar.
It was boring. I'm drunk though, so I guess it's purpose was served.
