Sympathizing helps.

Besides, nothing a bucket of ice cream and Friends re-runs can't fix.

Chocolate and Vanilla Ice cream sounds good right now. If I wasn't such a lazy ass I'd be able to burn all that off.

Went on the date. She was extremely nervous and talked really fast. She's had a somewhat sheltered life from what I can tell. I'm not positive this is a good recipe for either of us. Still, it was nice to go on a date.

Doesn't sound too terrible at least.

No, I'd definitely hang out again but I don't know if I'll pursue with any romantic intent.

Well, worst case you make a new friend, best case as you learn more about them and they open up to you, you'll become attracted to them and they will to you! Good luck!

I decided to see what was out there on a few websites since my last post on here. People I know recommended Match/PoF/OkCupid. I must say I was very disheartened with the results but that is life.
I don't think I set my standards to high by any stretch, over 21, 2 kids or less, not currently married (or separated), a job + signs of being independent.
Over 21 with no kids apparently is as common as a unicorn in my area, finding someone who had a real job was only slightly more common then spotting Halley's Comet. I got a number of responses (I didn't write anyone first) but nobody had a combination of the 3 things I was looking for minus one lady, who proclaimed to be separated but personally I want nothing to do with a situation like that.
I assume that living in larger areas (read cities) leads to much better results.
A lot of angry people when you inform them that your not interested, apparently it is maybe best to simply not respond.

Sounds like my English Teacher. Then again I'd be nervous to. I'm assuming you're a guy right?

I am male. I even posted a picture of me like 10 pages back or something.

I wouldn't take her 1st date jitters as anything other than face value. She doesn't know you from Adam and there's always that one friend in everyone's circle that tells that Friend of a Friend of a Cousin of a Step-Brother of a Grand Niece of a Neighbor who went on a date with someone they met online and they found their body shredded up in a ditch somewhere. Never discount someone because of how they act when they first meet you...If she continues to act strangely after a second or third "date" and it makes you uncomfortable then decide what to do.

Won't be seriously working on okcupid until I get into the dorms.

Given everyone else's dates, I can't wait to share with you guys my stories.

[Deleted]

I met my GF on POF 4 years ago and we are getting married this year.

Why not paint the picture, that your business is fun? Or that fun, is your business. Its like being Sweet and Sour Sauce, don't just be one or the other at any given time, be both at the same time.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

If by Shitfaced you mean drunk. I wouldn't advise that but I suppose some girls like that.

Intentional Necro Bump.

I've been on a few dates from OKCupid since last time anyone cared about this thread, but I've been noticing that I keep running into people that are, in my opinion, emotionally stunted/afraid. I set up a date, I call it a date, I totally use the word date, they agree to go on a date, but when I've show up they tell me it's totally casual and they're "just hanging out lol".

Why is everyone so terrified of meeting someone and actually being semi-vulnerable? It's not like I'm expecting epic romance from a first date or that they're obligated to do ANYTHING really, but it would nice if we showed up with even vaguely the same concept in mind. I'm going on a date. If it turns out there is no attraction but we still had a good time, well cool I might make a new friend. However, I see no reason to meet people on a dating website and agree to go on a date just to pidgeon-hole the evening to "friends at best" before the night even starts. I think I'm just way too old fashioned for my generation. We're far too casual with everything and seem to never be open to any real emotion.

[Tyrgannus]

...no.

Thanks for providing further evidence that everyone is emotionally stunted though. I don't need a hookup.
