Friend Set Ups

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

One of my friends IM'd me last night to tell me she wanted to fix me up with someone. She was describing him, saying he would be perfect. Then she says she hasn't seen him or talked to him since we graduated high school 14 years ago but she just saw him on Myspace.

This is why I hate being set up by friends. Just because someone was "one of the nicest people I've ever met" half your life ago, doesn't mean they would make a good fit for me to date today.

This is the same friend who set me up with someone else who was "perfect" and he said about 10 words all night.

Cuz he had a mouthfull of tongue or was he just quiet?

;)

[OUDoc]

Just say "no".

[Okieflyer]

Oh heck, it's easy for women. Just make him take you dinner (a nice place) and then say your going back to your old boy friend if he calls you again. ;)

That happened to me a bunch. :(

you went back to your old boy friend a bunch?! :eek:

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

;)He was just quiet. I think all he said all night was "where do you work at" Then I found out he had pet snakes

[OUDoc]

Then I found out he had pet snakes
I'll bet!

[OU Adonis]

He was just quiet. I think all he said all night was "where do you work at" Then I found out he had pet snakes

Are you sure he said that? He may of said "Will you pet my snake?"

[BeetDigger]

Didn't you have a thread on here a few weeks back about not having anything to do on the weekend?

[crawfish]

No guts, no glory.

Or something like that.

[OU Adonis]

No guts, no gloryhole.



Fixed for you.

[Hatfield]

you don't have to wait on me....feel free to live your life and date again....i want you to be happy :)

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

Didn't you have a thread on here a few weeks back about not having anything to do on the weekend?Yes, I'm sure that was me.

[GDC]

Dating/set-ups is why mail order brides RMFO.

[mdklatt]

What's the big deal about set-ups? At best you meet the love of your life, and at worst you get a free meal (especially the chick). It's not like any us bat 1.000 picking dates for ourselves. Why are things like blind dates and meeting people online seen as bad by so many people, but picking up random people in a bar or a club is acceptable? You've got to meet people somehow.

[soonerbrat]

Just go. you never know. and like mdk said, at the very least, you get a free dinner out of the deal :D
if you get to choose the restaurant, have him take you some place nice.

that's how i see it ;)

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

I didn't say I wouldn't go, but it gets old when people say "this person is perfect" and they know nothing about them.

Another friend said she wanted to introduce me to someone so I told her to invite him to come out with us and she said "oh I don't even know if he's single."

[ultimatesooner1]

This is the same friend who set me up with someone else who was "perfect" and he said about 10 words all night.

I know that guy, he is one of my friend's old roommates

i know what you're talking about, I get that a lot from my friends...just know they have good intentions, and who knows..one of them may be right!

[soonerbrat]

and yes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions...but just roll with it.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

I get this too: "but I don't know any single people besides you."

That is why my social life primarily succs. Most of my married friends are too busy being married to be social with people who aren't.

[usmc-sooner]

seems like when people turn 30 and single their friends go over board trying to get them hitched.

I got a friend whose 31 and everyone is constantly trying to set him up. The guy seems to do pretty good just playin the field.

[soonerbrat]

dangit

[mdklatt]

Friends can usually see the end of a relationship coming long before the couple in question, so it's not unreasonable that they might have a better handle on who's right for us than we do. Plus, they're not influenced by lust.

Sounds like you need new friends! ;)

[1stTimeCaller]

I'm still waiting for Stan and CVS to set me up

[OU Adonis]

Just don't date anyone from the S.O. Because if you do them wrong, they will nail you in the pooper.

[Skysooner]

I met my wife through the Oklahoma Gazette personals. She was in Education graudate schools (mostly women and gay men), and I was in graduate Engineering school (mostly men) at OU. Kind of strange how it all worked out though.

[colleyvillesooner]

I'm still waiting for Stan and CVS to set me up

Sorry man, my lady friend has *zero* single friends.

[mdklatt]

Just don't date anyone from the S.O.

...because we don't want to hear all the gory details. :D

[mdklatt]

Sorry man, my lady friend has *zero* single friends.

Sounds like you're on the timer.

[OU Adonis]

Sorry man, my lady friend has *zero* single friends that don't care if you **** in the floor.

Fixed for you.

[soonerbrat]

i have a couple of single girlfriends...who wants to meet them?

monica is 29, red hair, very cute, fun
stephanie is 33, red hair very cute, fun and a doctor
(they're sisters)

Are they fit? Are they high maintenance? Do they mind underachieving guys?

Heh

[mdklatt]

(they're sisters)

mdklatt sandwich?

[soonerbrat]

monica is definitly high maintenance
stephanie is not.

[Stoop Dawg]

This is the same friend who set me up with someone else who was "perfect" and he said about 10 words all night.

See, to a guy, that *is* perfect!!

[mdklatt]

Out.


stephanie is hot.

In and out. :texan:

[Stoop Dawg]

I get this too: "but I don't know any single people besides you."

That is why my social life primarily succs. Most of my married friends are too busy being married to be social with people who aren't.

I'm gonna have to disagree with that one. In my experience, it's the single people who don't want to hang with the marrieds, not the other way around.

Although, it's true that I have no desire to go clubbing anymore. Of course, I didn't like it when I was single either, but it was a necessary evil in order to meet people (i.e. get laid). Now the "club" is optional (hey yo!!).

[OU Adonis]

Kinda surprising the doctor isn't the high maintenance one. I dunno why I tend to be drawn to the high maintenance girls, maybe its because they are very attractive and they know it.

[soonerbrat]

the doctor is the oldest of 3 girls. the other one is the youngest.

get it?

[OU Adonis]

Ahh, it all makes sense now :)

[SoonerInKCMO]

I'll take Stephanie. She doesn't mind commuting to KC for dates, right?

[Beef]

Dating sucks.

[mdklatt]

Dating sucks.

I thought you lived with a girl? :confused:




:D

[OU Adonis]

Dating really does suck

[Jimminy Crimson]

Night Trips has a lot of single or 'taken but looking' guys.

You could find a dudeonce there! ;)

[mdklatt]

Not dating isn't so great either.

[picasso]

friend setup never worked for me. too much pressure.
one date and they(friends) want you to get married.

[OU Adonis]

Not dating isn't so great either.

Trudat, but its a whole lot cheaper. All you gotta pay for is the hand lotion and tissue.

no thanks.

[OU Adonis]

no thanks.

:D

oh damn. i was saving you for myself.

[mdklatt]

oh damn. i was saving you for myself.

I'll take Stephanie, then.

[Jimminy Crimson]

Could we get a pic or myspace link to these beyonces? TIA! :cool:

[SoonerInKCMO]

oh damn. i was saving you for myself.

Somehow, I doubt your sincerity. ;)

[soonerbrat]

why you doubt me?


JC - neither of them are on myspace. sorry

monica and i are going out tonight, i'll take my camera

[OU Adonis]

monica and i are going out tonight, i'll take my camera

Thats hot.

But are they nice? For some reason I am developing this wierd sense that they should have decient personalities too.

I think I am just under the weather.. heh

[NormanPride]

Never understood why girls complain about blind dates. The pressure's all on the guy to impress, and the girl just has to judge and then fend off the guy if she doesn't like him.

[BeetDigger]

And he usually doesn't have to do that until the second or third date. :eddie:

[Stoop Dawg]

:eek:

[OU Adonis]

Been there, Done that. Not that 2nd part though.

Oh, so you didn't do them wrong but they still nailed you in the pooper? :(

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

Oh, so you didn't do them wrong but they still nailed you in the pooper? :(No, that's disgusting.

[GDC]

This thread is why escorts RMFO.

[Beano's Fourth Chin]

I think maybe you should work on a more positive dating attitude. It seems like you want to find the right guy and you're looking forward to it, but all I've ever really see you do is complain about guys (at least on here... I realize that it's easier to complan and this place lends itself to rants).

In these types of things, that kind of attitude is a self fulfilling prophecy. Just roll with the punches. If done right, all but one of your dating relationships is going to end in a breakup.

Let me reiterate. If you're not happy with who you are and aren't content, no guy is going to make a whiff of difference.

Guys aren't what's making your dating life a hell, you(general) are.

I realize that this isn't something you don't already know, but maybe a little reminder here and there helps.

Dr. Phil has stolen Beano's password. :eek:

[OU Adonis]

Let me reiterate. If you're not happy with who you are and aren't taking it up the pooper, no guy is going to make a whiff of difference.


At some point in the future, I pray that this becomes funny again.

[NormanPride]

Adonis: taking the joke too far since 10/4/2003.

;)

[Beano's Fourth Chin]

Fixed that for you.

I realize that this isn't something you don't already know, but maybe a little reminder here and there helps.I appreciate it, but at the same time, I don't "only complain about guys." That is maybe all you see on here, because I don't always come on here gushing when things go right. And I certainly wouldn't be the first to get on here and complain anyway.

[Beano's Fourth Chin]

Oh, I know. Like I said, this place lends itself to rants.

[soonerbrat]

Hornets game? Get Buzzin!



no....turns out we don't have tickets for tonight :(

we do have tix for the last game of the season but that's the only one we have left.

we were down there a couple times, but you were too good in your suite to come meet us.:rolleyes:

[BeetDigger]

...I don't always come on here gushing when things go right.



Pics? :texan:

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

Pics? :texan:of what?

[BeetDigger]

of what?

I figure that when you have reason to gush, the pics must be worthwhile. :D

[OU Adonis]

You guys should know that I am not clever enough to come up with anything original. :D

And I was hijacked!

[soonerbrat]

Thats hot.

But are they nice? For some reason I am developing this wierd sense that they should have decient personalities too.

I think I am just under the weather.. heh




yes..they are both very nice girls. i've known them for about 10 years now. i don't hang with mean people.

[OU Adonis]

yes..they are both very nice girls. i've known them for about 10 years now. i don't hang with mean people.

Damn, that rules me out :(. Oh well.

[soonerbrat]

Damn, that rules me out :(. Oh well.



you don't like nice girls or you are a jackass?

[OU Adonis]

you don't like nice girls or you are a jackass?

Actually it was just another bad attempt at humor ;). I like nice girls. I grew out of that other stage.

[soonerbrat]

well i'm bringing monica to the tailgate tomorrow.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

Oh here is another part of the conversation from last night. Two yrs ago, this same friend introduced me to another guy. We had lunch with my friend and her husband. I liked him well enough and would have been interested in seeing him again but he didn't call or even ask for my number. Last night she told me I blew him off, which I did not do. He lives in Chickasha and works in OKC, so when he asked if I came down there often and I said no, he had the opportunity to ask me to do something up here. But alas, two years later. . .

[Jimminy Crimson]

we were down there a couple times, but you were too good in your suite to come meet us.:rolleyes:

I was hangin' with Nichols Gaillardia. ;)

I'll make an appearance at the Ice House before the season is done with, though. I might even get some married couple to buy shots for all the SF.com contingent again.

If I hear of any extra dukats, I'll holler your way, bratty-brat-brat! :texan:

thank you :)
i'm so sad the season is almost over :(

[mdklatt]

Why does the guy always have to make the first move?

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

Why does the guy always have to make the first move?Well that isn't always the case with me. He seemed like the type that wouldn't be interested in a woman who made the first move.

[mdklatt]

He seemed like the type that wouldn't be interested in a woman who made the first move.

Then maybe you're not missing out on anything. Why should it matter who makes the first move?

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

I don't know. I don't make the rules.

[mdklatt]

I don't know. I don't make the rules.

There shouldn't be rules. Two people either dig each other or they don't.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

There shouldn't be rules. Two people either dig each other or they don't.I agree, but even if someone says they don't play by any rules or they hate games, they wind up making them up.
