Painting woodwork and seeing a married friend, in fact!
I thought about saying yes to the daet tonight but you know, it was giving me the anxiety and meant rearranging my schedule and just, no. I shouldn't start out by agreeing to things that make me unhappy, even if it makes me uncomfortable to define that boundary.

Why are you nervous Mr Farmer?I live in a fishbowl college town and my last dating experience was a disaster. Also, I have very strong feelings for someone who lives 1000 miles away, who I've seen twice in the last eleven months, and I don't have the resources to increase that number. But I can't let go! Sorry, I'm listening to George Michael right now.

Lame Melusine reference, sorry

Don't be a coward but don't waste anybody's time, either. If you're vaguely interested but not for tonight, don't go; you wouldn't be doing either of you a favor.

Mr Farmer, do you know what you're looking for?
Companionship? Fucking? An escape fantasy from a 1K distant torch? Someone to dine with? What?

I have lived in a fishbowl college town too, and it sounds like you're healing by hiding out with Ms 1000miles away. Maybe you don't really want to meet anyone right now.

I have seen a lot of tv programmes in which mothers are all 'did you know {foo} has two children now, when are you going to meet a nice boy/girl and settle down' but I have never met a person who's said their mother says that.

i dunno i feel guilty for trotting out sad minutiae of sadness but i don't have anybody on hand to bore with this on a daily basis plus it's easier to type it out into a half-void than sit and chew somebody's ear off irl, am doing chirpy blitz spirit there
have been pondering the future possibility of going on a date ever a date...now there's a properly bleak train of thought :-)

Hey kids, remember not to develop a serious crush on someone you work w/ on a daily basis, esp. if they live over 1000 miles away. Because that would be fucking stupid.
― Simon H., Thursday, 1 December 2011 15:10 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, 'cause crushes are so rational...
― M. White, Thursday, 1 December 2011 15:12 (twelve years ago) link
i sent an email yesterday to someone at work that i was sorta crushing on. no response yet.
*bites nails*
― Z S, Thursday, 1 December 2011 15:12 (twelve years ago) link
she probably doesn't even remember who the hell i am. we had lunch in a group setting about a year ago, and she gave me her phone number (i didn't ask for it, i wasn't flirting, and was engaged at the time, so of course i didn't call her or anything)
― Z S, Thursday, 1 December 2011 15:13 (twelve years ago) link
my only comparative experience to having a powerful crush was the one time i ate half (half!) a tab of acid and proceeded to feel like OMG make it stop OMG make it stop for what seemed like an eternity, hurtling uncontrollably forward in space and time and virtually incapable of steering the ship back in the appropriate direction during a storm of that magnitude.
it can be kinda bad!
― recently deposed application inspector for the (league of women voters), Thursday, 1 December 2011 15:24 (twelve years ago) link
i should have had half a tab before sending that email to the work crush person, probably would have been a lot better!
― Z S, Thursday, 1 December 2011 15:25 (twelve years ago) link
it's hardly a critical juncture though

Goblin Boy is meant to be coming to see me tonight. We're spending the day together tomorrow. I am as desperate for affection as the next aging surfer, and I very much want to see him and get kisses, but can't imagine what good can come of this in the long run and fear I'm just having a post-miscarriage moment of weakness.
Ah what the hell. I'd normally think that gunning for kisses when I don't know what I mean by it is rotten unfair, but this is Goblin Boy, I cba being that sensitive about it.
