That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Love the new 'do! I think you look fresh and sassy.

And now she's chatting up the sound board op.

Women are never interested in me. I am utterly unattractive in any way. At least that is what the overwhelming evidence suggests.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Sean, seems we share membership to the same exclusive group. Or is that exclusion group?

Don't make me go southern on y'all.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Sean, you need to find an opportunity to name-drop your awesome goats cheese/fig/parma ham recipe at her! Or some other awesome recipe!

Or, alternatively (and I can never follow this advice, but it's good advice nontheless) you need to reflect that life is short, and just go ASK HER.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Sean, I feel your pain, but I am also kicking you in the pants and telling you to just talk to her, period, and the single/dating part can come later. You have many attractive qualities, but self-pity is not one of them. And I say that as someone in the same boat.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Most guys that I'm interested in seem to have no interest in me.

ION, walking from Soul Vegetarian over to Sticky Fingers is odd. First, you go by a bunch of hair salons and stores selling African stuff. Then, houses, getting progressively better-maintained as you go. Then you turn onto 14th, and suddenly, there's a mall there! Out of nowhere, a zillion chain stores and shiny things and huge signs.

I was actually working up the guts to ask her, but right now, she's using all of her free time to flirt with somebody else. Asking her out at this point seems a little tacky.

And I know self pity is not attractive. I just don't know how to stop that, except by not thinking about it. Which doesn't seem like it would help either.

...my first thought was: "liquor!"...but that's probably not very practical.

Nah, I got nothin'. Asking someone out in cold blood boggles my mind.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well, you can't stop feeling it, but you might want to think about the fact that those feelings are lies. Things ended badly with S, but there was a relationship there to end. That proves you can be attractive to a woman right there. Feeling that you aren't is a real feeling, but i isn't TRUTH.

The only way to change your circumstances is to step out of your comfort zone. Make a vow to speak to every woman you find remotely interesting. Not asking them out, just chatting with them. Once you get to that point, one of them will flirt back and then...
