Shot Down...

Shot Down...

Lucky escape Nate mate; while the nutter thinks you are good looking, she doesn't want to date you. You could be saving yourself a whole load of hassle here.

Of course, Kelly may have said "I've got this friend called Nate, you should date him"...

I'd like you to know I can't date you either, the smoking's bad enough, but having the body of a badger, with green guffs... Sorry.

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

She'd have been disappinted if you'd been a non-smoker and explained that depite having healthy tar free lungs, you still had no intention of running a marathon.

Like a wise man once said, "Didn't we domesticate the horse for this sort of thing..."

Sacre Merde!! It's happening again! Nnnooooo....

I'm pretty sure you're right on all accounts, Kelly probably said something, and yes, not worth it. But the question does remain, why say anything at all? One potential reason I could think would be a serious case of inebriation, yet, still... What's wrong with being a polite and friendly, non-belligerent, drunk?

I can't picture a guy, while sober or drunk, approaching a female that he finds to be attractive and saying 'Nope, can't date you, you smoker.' Just can't do it!!

Heh, you know it D.D., that would be the case! Sounds wise, indeed...

She's obviouly not quite sane, I still reckon you've had a lucky escape. Imagine if you weren't a smoker: "Excuse me, you're Nate, right?", "I sure am.", "Ah, Kelly's told me about you. I wanted to let you know I think you're good looking so I will be dating you."

Definitely potential stalker material. Smoking may have saved your life!

NateO · Vice JDK and Man of the People

Quite right, mate!

I didn't really think about it quite like that... I reckon I would've bailed like hay had I heard something like that!

Yikes... Life saving, sweet, sweet tobacco!!

Beware the anti-smoking marathon runner!

NateO · Vice JDK and Man of the People

Quite right. Insanity!

JonnyStead · **"I'm Lois!"**

Nate me ol' mate - ultimately you still find youself single -

TRUST ME

Thats the way to go less you end up in conversations like 'lets talk about our relationship' or 'how often do you think about me' or 'lets go and buy something red' or 'sleeping with my sister was bound to annoy me' etc etc

Damaged....

NateO · Vice JDK and Man of the People

Quite right Stead-man, or my favourite, 'tell me ten things you like about me.'

Andromeda · ***Proud House-Owner***

Have you guys really met chicks who say that? Honestly?

Heck I'm a chick and *I'd* slap the hell out of a chick if I heard her say any of that.

Well... maybe not the sister thing....

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

You're a chick?!?

Andromeda · ***Proud House-Owner***

Surprising, eh?

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

I don't know what to say. I'm stunned.

sha76jam · Cpt Acorn Short of An Oaktree

I fully agree with And, apart from I'd never say 'sleeping with my sister was bound to annoy me', I'd be more likely to go with 'I have a sister?', if I did have a sister I feel I'd say something somewhat stonger.

Er, yes... My ex-girfriend of two years used to literally ask me this all the time. Even worse, I'd get a verbal flogging for saying overly generic things like 'you're beautiful' or if two of things I made up were too similar to one another!

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

Been there, dude.

I was in the pub at lunchtime. An Australian pub that was showing the Cricket. There was a guy in there with his bird, watching the cricket. She clearly wasn't impressed and started having a go, telling him that he clearly placed his precious cricket over her. He just looked bemused. When she left in a huff, he calmly went to the bar and ordered another drink.

Kudos.

NateO · Vice JDK and Man of the People

Quite right. It drove me to drink from time-to-time...

And I didn't even have the decency to thank her!

But yeah, no joke, 10 things? Er...

Andromeda · ***Proud House-Owner***

Wow... I'm impressed.

No wonder I get hit on. I must be one of the last normal ones out there

sha76jam · Cpt Acorn Short of An Oaktree

And, we must indeed be a rare species.

Tip for the guys: try dating more secure women! There's no value in a compliment if you have to ask for it.

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

But how do you tell. We just don't know until it's far, far too late. Usually when we're watching a great movie or trying to get to sleep after a really hard day, or simply staring into space with a glazed expression (one of my favourite activities) and then we hear the dreaded phrase "What are you thinking about?" floating into our conciousness!

sha76jam · Cpt Acorn Short of An Oaktree

"simply staring into space with a glazed expression" gives us the impression that you're thinking about something quite distracting, I'd recommend going with a neutral answer to the "what are you thinking about?" question here, unless you're with a woman stupid enough to believe you if you say "Just thinking about us darling". "That fantastic pie I had for lunch last Tuesday" won't get you any brownie points, buts it's a whole lot better than "That fantastic waitress from Tuesday lunchtime".

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

Why do I need to fib, though. When I'm staring into space with a glazed expression, my mind is a void. I'm not thinking about anything. Nada. Just kinda... staring. Into... space. Glazedly (is that a word? Didn't think so.)

Although that pie was pretty good...

My mom calls that "resting her eyes" but I would like to know how she thinks she's resting her eyes when they're wide open and unblinking.

I guess I shoudln't say anything though because I do it too - sometimes you just need to shut the brain off for a while

O.O

Andromeda · ***Proud House-Owner***

I think the problem lies in the question itself, not in the answer.

If I saw someone zoning out, I think I would see it for just that... zoning out. Of course, if it went on for 5 or 10 minutes I might ask "you ok?" just so I know the guy wasn't having a stroke or something At that point a simple "yep" would be sufficient and it would be dropped.

IMO, the "what are you thinking?" question is just so inane that I think the chick would deserve "the waitress from tuesday's lunch" as an answer.

But then, that's just me

JonnyStead · **"I'm Lois!"**

Heh sounds like Im not so damaged after all JDK!

Hoorah for me!

Far too late, mate...

Heh, yeah, I've gotten that one too! Sorry, dude, you're not allow to drift off randomly for periods of time!

I like you're thinking on this And.!

Mmmm, pie...

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

We're all agreed then? We all fancy Andromeda rotten. Sweet.
