The One will show up whenever she wants to, God willing. In the meantime I'm sick of being alone. If this girl from my Archaeology class winds up being The One, great, we'll just improvise as we go along.


Watzap dude, you do archaeology too, or is it simply one class you do? Anyways I'm doing archaeology and over here the girls are mostly quite unattractive, and basically are not that awfully entertaining either (I'm talking about girls here now, not guys that's totally different). Okay there are some girls I can have fun with, but not really people I'd want to go out with.

Seems like it's different where you live
By the way, are you American?

Of course not, but wouldn't you want to have something going with someone you know a bit better, instead of some total stranger you meet at some random place? If rejected, then that is quite uncomfortable indeed, because you'll be seeing that person often.

Yeah, I'm American, and this is my first class in archaeology. It's "Environmental Archaeology," the study of how human interaction with the environment shapes the rise and downfall of civilizations. For example, we went into great detail about how the Sumerians' half-assed irrigation schemes gradually poisoned their land and turned it into a damp version of Utah. The same means that made their lands rich and fertile over the short term eventually loaded the ground with all kinds of toxic salts. I rather like it. The class, I mean, I don't have anything against Sumerians and enjoy hearing about their death. Or so I say.

And this girl isn't the only attractive one in the class, so I guess it's different here than in Belgium. But then, I don't know how hot Belgian chicks are either. Probably you have higher standards, judging by the amount of curvaceous supermodel booty that your section of Europe exports to the world...

EDIT: "Hole in the popcorn bucket trick"? That's just freaking creepy, DBTS.

there are women you want to date (and eventually bang), and women you want to just bang.

No, no, no. It wasnt advice on WHERE to meet a girl. It was advice on a cheap date, assuming you HAVE met a girl. Of course I keep forgetting that y'all dont have services on Friday night.

A record! A record! The "let's be friends" talk, less than 36 hours after the first assent!

To be honest, though, I had my doubts about it too, I just wanted to give it a chance, plus she was cute. Now I don't have to hear you guys talking about 40s and popcorn buckets. Well, actually, yes, I do, but I don't have to feel like I should be scandalized anymore. That's a plus.

EDIT: The play, however, was excellent. I don't know if there have been film versions made, at least in English, but it's Tartuffe, by Moliere. It's about religious hypocrisy, that right there should be enough to win half of you over.

Bullsh*t. The "lets be friends" is them trying to say "You aren't bada** enough, or you're boring."

You know what? Screw 'em. I say drink up, and don't even try and notice 'em. Observe. Many girls know they are hot sh** and notice how guys are trying hard as hell to flirt with them. All you need to do is show em some kindness, not really flirt, but show that you are interested in women, and BAM! They start to wonder "hmmm, what's this guys deal?" Keep doing that, they start thinking deeper into you, and the next thing you know, they are flirting with you."

Yes, I've done this, but I have yet to get that *zzzzap* from women. Although there is this one girl I'm starting to........

The thing is they don't actually believe. They just want a nice woman to marry. BTW, the ratio for them is very good (3 men : 7 women) around here.
