The Stranger.

You know you can tell things aren't going well lately when you're reading Albert Camus at 7pm on a Wednesday

I prefer to just sit on my hand until it goes numb.

Look at a distance at the car.
Admire the car, because your friend has a new car.
Test drive the car in a 'test drive' in public.
Car is amazing in a subtle environment.
Finance the car.
Invite friends to meet your new car.
New car delivers on your needs.
New car blows you away.
New car now needs maintenance.
You test drive another new car. Wow!
Your new car knows your radio stations.
Your new car knows your cleaning habits.

After you new car, that you never loved - but needed to counter your buddy' new car has now been with you for 15 years and no longer looks new, you put up for sale.

The best story that I could get from a buddy who announced he is divorcing his wife of 15 years. On my way out, I dropped my share of the check off with the waitress and left.

Not sure what fight I would have for divorce. Lack of shiney and new is not one of them.

[Algernon]

Your buddy is a **** weirdo.


Flew to my cousin's wedding in Malibu (currently waiting for my flight home)

It was nice.

But half way through I get a text, "do you want to go get a beer?"

Figures it was from a girl I've been trying to go out with for awhile, she's incredible. Smart, pretty, down to earth...

Told her I'd have liked that but that was out of town and why...

Here's hoping I get a second chance.

****.

[LITT]

Text her back when you get in town?

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

I'm with LITT, why pray for a second chance when you're not at fault. If she doesn't see that as okay you probably don't want to see her anyway.

Gggg

[obhave]

Boy complains about the amount of books I own and wishes I would throw some out, then he buys me a bookshelf. I am a lucky woman

[columbia]

Not to pry, but it sounds like you settled on 1/2 over the other.

[obhave]

If someone complains and then ultimately makes peace with his annoyance and buys me a bookshelf to make me happy, I call that a win.

I mostly find it funny *shurgs*

[columbia]

I meant men over women.

[obhave]

I meant men over women.

haha oh. I can always still look and appreciate though

[Willie Kool]

columbia's puritanical assumption that obhave's relationship is necessarily a traditional, monogamous one is somewhat amusing...

[Factorial]

Give him a break, he's old.

Here we go, midnight godric post in the love thread, brace yourselves...

So, I'm 25 years old. I've probably dated/hooked up with over 100 women. I say that as more of a failure and conceding to reality than bragging. Believe me or not, it's not something I really aspired to. However when I was 17, I was pretty sure I'd have tough times finding a date because I was not a particularly attractive person. So from that perspective 17 year old me would be proud but not if he knew that pretty much anyone can go to a bar or concert and get laid.

I know people that shatter that number and are way younger than me and I know people who have been involved with like 2 people their entire lives.

Originally my philosophy was date as many different kinds of people as I could as if that would help prevent me ending up like my parents with multiple divorces later in life.

So I dated all sorts of people. White girls, Black girls, Asian girls, Hispanic girls, Eastern European girls. Tall, short, skinny, thick, overweight, anorexic, athletes, nerds, geeks, shy, loud, stoic, emotional. Comically good looking to "has potential". Girls with really good jobs, engineers, a lawyer, nurses and girls who are broke and make minimum wage. Girls who are ridiculously educated Masters, PhD and one who dropped out of high school to be a tattoo artist and stripper.

Looking back on it, I don't think I "regret" being as "open minded" but damn, time goes by really fast and I'm not sure I really gathered anything actually valuable other than a bunch of experiences and stories that most people wouldn't even believe.

Life is stranger than fiction.

I've slept with girls on the first date who I didn't even have the courage to ask out. I've had first dates go horrendous and then end up dating pretty happily for several months. I've had first dates that lasted over 6 hours of just straight conversation and making out til early in the morning and then never getting a second date.

I've been accused of being clingy and being distant, caring too much and too little.

I also don't really understand why I feel things for certain people and I didn't feel anything for others. I had two girls try to get me to marry them after dating them for a couple months. They were crazy about me and I felt nothing for them, I wanted to, wish I did but I didn't. Ran away like a bat out of hell. Then I've been completely smitten by some after only knowing them for a couple weeks, sometimes a couple hours.

I'm not sad about it or anything just saying as a testament that life is weird af

And something about being only your mind's loudest passenger n'at

[NailedPenguin]

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

Yeah so my ex is crazy.

[MR25]

Really? Couldn't tell based on your multitude of stories

[Kaiser]

Yeah so my ex is crazy.

Isnt that the only kind of ex there is?

[Blue Canary]

Then there's the aspect that you're in freakin' Malibu: Legit on several levels.
