There is either some guy that is just "ehh" about things, that I can barely pry two words out of, and then other guys that are soo overwhelming and won't be quiet long enough to even eat anything when out on a date! Then they send you a million texts all day long, call you asking about your day (when you just saw them half an hour ago~ this has happened!!), facebook a ton of messages to you. And always go on about their exes and how much women have hurt them, how they gave up so much for love and were hurt (I am sooo sick of hearing this. Nobody forced them into the former relationship! And guys say girls talk about their exes too much? In what world? Not mine!). I try to never bring up my exes unless asked because what's the point? It's not like I was married or engaged to them. I didn't move in with them and I didn't move to another state because of them. But, geeze, almost every first date I'd had recently, I've had to listen to them moan and whine about how hurt they got over their exes (and, geeze, it's not like they were married or have kids together. I might could understand more if they'd been married ten years and had a couple of kids, but none of the relationships lasted more than three years!!!!).

I've really grown to hate cell phones. And facebook. And texting. Obviously, most of these guys don't go on second dates. Some never make it to the first date because they start sending a million texts before it even happens! One guy even spent SIX hours at my workplace (retail store), trying to talk to me between customers and just leaning on the counter after I agreed to watch a movie with him that weekend. Never saw the movie with him because that's just creepy.

I feel your pain, mir.
The bolded is exactly what happened here. He was upset that he didn't even get a try. He wasn't understanding so I didn't explain to him that any contact you make with someone is a "try" so I had to use the incompatibility excuse, which was true anyways and I figured would make more sense to him. All my taken friends are so glad they don't have to be in my shoes anymore. I wish I could just skip over dating and be married.

Johnny-please come out to AZ and train all these idiots. And you're welcome!

Is awesomeness learnable? I don't know. Maybe I could do some sort of boot camp.

Yelling is not very effective, though... I've been doing this charity work for years on this forum!

It is when it's reinforced with a taser. Hence the waiver.

Oh I beg to differ!

Although I cannot teach awesome, I can spread it through reproduction.

Any and all children that I have will be born from awesome genes. Mine!

Yeah, but you can spawn, what...like two or three hundred kids at a time?

If I cross my fingers, I might get twins some day.
