Dating Age |OT$6| Just ask her out already

Obviously it is up to you, but that doesn't seem worth it to me. You're giving up a lot of prime time to look if you're spending every weekend with this lady "casually". I did a LDR (2.5 hrs by bus, not including getting to/from the bus stops) for 1.5 yrs and as the person who was doing the large majority of the traveling, that resentment built up. It was the cause of a lot of disagreements later on. But we were exclusive and serious (if cautious), and there was a clear end goal in sight.

Yeah. Quasi-girl said she was busy with school the entire weekend. Of course, she already said that she was doing a bikini car wash this Saturday, so... still, I've no reason to doubt her. I simply said that her schedule sucks and I hope she finds some time to unwind this weekend. No response to that...

Anyway, I went out tonight and met someone new, plus a hot married chick who was all over me (from whom I disengaged...). I naturally got the single girl's number. She's cute. She messaged me. I bluntly asked her out this weekend. We'll see.

I'll hit the Brazilian girl up tomorrow; it's been several days. Regardless, I'll leverage my other contacts to see what's up this weekend.

I guess I'm back in the game. This really sucks. I hate this grind. I really just want someone to watch GoT with me on Sunday night.
 
An hour by train. Door to door, about 2 hours for me. She has a car and I don't, meaning it's about a 45 minute drive for her, but D.C. traffic is variable and volatile.

As a DC area resident, I can vouch for the bolded. Traffic here is complete shit most of the time. Specially the one-two punch of I-66, and I-495 (aka "the Capital Beltway"), where traffic is ass even during off peak hours.
 
Have a lunch date lined up for Saturday from someone I messaged on Bumble. I asked for Sunday but she said she's only free on Saturday and when I sent her my number she messaged me back pretty quickly.

I'm going to bring my Vita with Project Diva to show her how far gaming has come since Super Mario.
I'm not doing this.

Hoping everything goes smoothly, because damn she's a stunner lol. Also have 4 others I'm talking to across bumble and tinder. Zoosk is an expensive site or a scam, in any case, don't use it. Sending messages costs money lol.

My GF and I are moving in together. 9+ months ago I was talking about our dates in here. We've had this damn authentic relationship built on trust and communication and understanding. Everything else is great too :)


Feels good and I wanted to share this step, thanks :)

Yeezus, I was about to cringe.

Let's be honest here, deep down we all want to show our date how far gaming has come since Super Mario Bros.

I definitely don't seriously consider whether they seem willing to play multiplayer Game Boy games with me before every date

Congrats, man! Every time I'm about to end up cynical about dating, I hear about friends getting engaged or people on here finding good relationships and it gives me hope.

Well, one of them's coming over to watch GoT. Wow. Arranging GoT dates is so damned easy.

If only I enjoyed the books / show lol.

Shit, if/when I move back to the area, I'd probably just use my car to get to like the grocery store and nearest Metro station and just use public transportation for everything else >.>

Welcome back. Don't we all want that....

My SO goes over to his bestie's house for GoT dates because I'm like "fuck that, I need sleep"

We watch new GoT episodes together with the girl but it's always at her place on her crappy laptop and then I have to watch it again properly in my own home theater when I go home :(

She does come to my place on weekends and we could watch it then, but I can't wait the whole week lol.

Being forced to watch GOT twice is a dupable offence imo.

Soooo, the other night I had a drink in mine with some friends, everyone left by the end except for one of my friends I've really liked for a long time, and after a while she kinda dived on me. Problem is I was absolutely wrecked, so before we could do anything serious past foreplay I kinda passed out. We've spoken since but not really talked about it except her saying how wasted I was. I asked her if she wanted to come around again next week and she said "yeah, i'll check which day I have off work" but I'm kinda fearing I missed my opportunity the other night. Any advice for how I should go about things or am I just being needlessly paranoid?

Yea, that'd be your best bet. Shit starts getting exponentially more expensive the closer you move to the Metro.

Maybe you're being a bit paranoid?

How are the conversations? Are they cool, or do you sense any awkwardness?
 
I'm trying to get my girl caught up on GoT, but she's so far behind I don't think she's going to be able to watch this season live.

Last week's episode was dope

When it comes to someone you've known and have been talking to for a while, "opportunities" really don't factor into whether you have a shot with her. Ask her out. By now, she'll have already formed an opinion about whether or not she's interested in you. So don't skirt around the issue.

Boldly just say, "Would you like to go out sometime?" You could preface that by first apologizing and saying you would prefer that you weren't so drunk last time if you feel it's appropriate.

But I wouldn't dance around stuff at all. Be very direct and confident about it. Because at this point there's really nothing you can do to "convince" her to get with you or "play it right." You could really only disqualify yourself from this point forward. I'm pretty certain in saying her mind will be made up before you even ask her. You have to go for it.

It's only a grind if you interpret it that way. You have no trouble getting women so stop having a shitty attitude about it.

If you feel like it's a grind, clear your head and focus on other stuff. Don't just date hot girls because you can. If you step away from it, the urges to get with tons of women will come back naturally. It's our biology. So really, let nature take its course and stop "grinding".

Yeah, you're right: it's admittedly exciting to get to know new people. I'll gladly take the criticism. It's important to meet people with the proper attitude; I agree with that completely.

I'm definitely preferring to meet people in person though - there's much less of a "grind" than online dating. Still, as you mentioned, I don't have any trouble with either option. We'll see how this goes. Still need to hit up the Brazilian tonight after work.

They're the same as usual tbh, no real awkwardness which is good i guess. I think I'm just concerned it was a "in the moment" thing.

Well it's difficult because first and foremost she's a close friend I've known for years so asking her out might be a bit strange to her. We normally hang out in a group of people, it's only the past 2 weeks she's been coming over and staying by herself. I guess i just need to see what happens next week when/if she comes over again. I'm not good with these things i just work myself up ha. Talking about it has kinda helped though so thanks you two.
 
Often a lurker here, but yesterday my relationship of 2.5 years went south. Gonna wait a while before diving into dating again, but just wanted to say that the stories here make the prospect feel a lot less scary!

Hopefully I can call on y'all for some good advice when I'm ready..
 
You got just keep it cool dude.

Anyways thinking of getting back on okcupid soon, met my last girlfriend on there so after I take a week or so off from dating I'll probably get that set up. I remember preferring it to tinder and bumble for the most part.
 
Well...


N-n-no.... Listen, Puck-san! I'm... I'm... I'm... not... nervous at all! Ha-ha!

....

I'm cool, man. If you ever met me in real life, you'd be like, "That Mediking guy is so relaxed."
Seriously you need to lay off the coke. I sure hope you don't talk like that when you go out on dates lol

I've told Jaded this enough times but Mediking, self-depreciating people aren't really attractive.

Just

so you know and all

I hear you. Your advice is pretty much gold. I had to take the L for that "hnnng" though. I woke up. Read it again. Died.

Hahaha okay, that's it! No more trying to be funny here. This is like the 2nd or 3rd time where my humor just crashed and burned. Lmao of course I don't talk like this on dates! INB4: "That's because he doesn't even go on dates! Oooohhhh!"
