BigFatCoward Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 School/pre school kids are fucking gross, I'm permanently feeling like shit because of all the diseases they bring home. I doubt I would be much of a catch in the dating pool, turning up constantly with a cough, runny nose and the shits.

I've never had to deal with this, however i think I'd be more upset if he was sitting in my seat or trying to control the tv handset.

Not for any reason he can pin down. He just thinks that the Doctor is “kind of snakey”. Grade that on a curve against the people you have dated and he's met. Could be an issue and consider his judgement. OTOH Sir Mix-a-Lot has versed about the anaconda. Which is most definitely snakey. Not that you have excessive back.

I think the kid is trying to revisit his initial thoughts since we are all going out for a Christmas Day lunch at the Chinese restaurant. Also, The Doctor’s brother is coming, because they always do Chinese food on Christmas Day. I have met The Doctor’s brother, he is very nice. mcbigski and Mlle.

BigFatCoward Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) I have to ask, wtf is cuffing season? Is it filth? Is this more of CdF being a wrong un? Edited January 6 by BigFatCoward Madame deVenoge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IheartIheartTesla Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Apparently, it refers to the period of time single people look for short term relationships to pass the cold months of the year (Oct-Feb) and NOT something bondage related. And now my joke makes no sense (but you have to consider who I was responding to). Madame deVenoge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madame deVenoge Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 (edited) I should have known that “cuffing season” would not be a term universally known - apologies. Yes, it would be much more fun if it involved bondage. The Doctor is being weird about our upcoming trip to NYC. Look, I can’t be told to just “go look at Playbill” and “find something”. Or “what do you want to see at The Comedy Cellar?” I find it overwhelming. I told him that I trust his taste. Then he tells me I need to not wear my “mom jeans”. I’m about to tell him that if he wants me to dress a certain way, he can buy whatever it is he wants me to wear. I’m really kind of pissed off. I really kind of want to tell him to fuck off.

I’m seeing Hadestown tomorrow. I’ll let you know if it is any good. I can highly recommend Six. Merrily We Roll Along is the current hot thing. Alternatively you can try for the Music Man. Or, my babysitter’s fiancé is in the Harry Potter show…. 2. Comedy Celler would just be whatever. Don’t overthink that. 3. Doesn’t he know you have been to NY lots? Does he need me to send instructions about how to dress for our dinner? I mean sounds like he might need it because “mom jeans” are like super in right now.

So it has nothing to do with Valentine's day coming up? My birthday is the end of March, so really I'm in th e no dating zone right now, as far as any sort of repeat engagement goes. Back half of February more relaxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toth Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Ah fuck, I'm irredeemable. After my disheartening attempt at online dating almost two years ago I decided for myself that I should give up on romantic love and instead should focus my attention on improving my social skills, get new hobbies and make friends. I... did try that, though still failed utterly at the making friends part and still struggled really hard to have conversations with my coworkers without feeling extremely awkward... still, baby steps I guess. However now that my 30th birthday is only a couple of months away, I once again have these nagging intrusive thoughts that I'm running out of time and that I should try it again, but... ugh... I just know it's pointless and would just further deteriorate my self-esteem and I have enough stress as it is with work and my procrastination that seems to have gotten significantly worse since Corona. But once again, who in their right mind would date a guy this old who has no experience whatsoever in regards to relationships, hates touching and is quite probably asexual and is only available in a package with his mother? Ugh... why can't I just forget about all this societal pressure that relationships somehow are part of life? I suck at this part of life, I don't know how any of that is supposed to work, this shit is too hard... Wade1865 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madame deVenoge Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 @Toth - “who in their right mind would date a guy this old” you say, and you’re not even 30 I’ve come to the conclusion that age is really just a number. Since every minute of the day, the sand goes through the hourglass, never to return again, we are all “running out of time” My advice to you would be to keep on trying to make friends and build some relationships that don’t involve romance. It might be lower stakes and less stressful. @mcbigski - I think the whole “cuffing season” thing might have something to do with the holidays and leading up to Valentine’s Day, where I suppose people who aren’t serious just ghost each other on the day after? Happy birthday in advance!! Wade1865 and Tywin et al. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbigski Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Yeah my default plan is date late February. But if the hour glass thing was a Days of our Lives reference at least one of us is seasoned. Madame deVenoge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a few mere days behind you in this world, so, yessss, that was indeed a “Days of Our Lives” reference —- I always think “I’m going to take MONTHS off of dating!!!” after a breakup, which reliably turns into….a few days. You are strong!! mcbigski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
