snug.bunny Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Wait a minute, what are you really trying to say?-lol Many guys watched Three's Company You only liked it because deep down you wanted to be just like Mr. Furley... I kid I kid, Threes Company was a great show.
Beachgirl8 Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I think you should apologize to her. You hung up on her for not reading your mind as to what type of answer you would want and for sharing a piece of information about herself? That was really mean. Nevermind, don't apologize. She's much better off never hearing from you again. Sheesh.

snug.bunny Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Mr. Furley was gay though-lol Then I was right, ha!

D-Lish Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Mr. Furley was gay though-lol He was gently gay- no one was allowed to be gay in the 70's.
ScienceGal Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I am afraid I have to differ your opinion. You mean to say you gave an example & now she should follow it blindly. You should never aim to guide someone to a desired response. Let them be their own person. If you can't handle their answer, don't ask. I once asked a date what they are afraid of. I said "heights and sharks", he said "failure and disappointment". We were clearly on two different wavelengths, and that's ok. I didn't judge him or get up and walk out just because he didn't follow my lead in the conversation. I suspect you'll meet a lot more "nuts" with such specific conversation criteria.
bittersweet memories Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I asked this NUT a fun type of question on the phone to get the conversation started. I asked........tell me something private about you that most people don't know? My answer was.....I listen to madonna and own DVD's of Three's company. So I figured that she would get the idea from my answer and would tell something about herself along those same lines. This weirdo says................"I used to be married" I hung up the phone and went to bed because I was stunned that a woman can be so stupid. Lol Anyone agree she proved she was a wacko? Sounds like you're the crazy one...
Almond_Joy Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Wacko would be, "I killed my ex-boyfriends, and buried them in my back garden... by the way, have you tried any of those home-grown tomatoes I gave you?" I do believe that's a zinger, and a mighty fine one at that. Hats off to you
whichwayisup Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 No, I don't believe she is a whacko. I think you put her on the spot, she was probably nervous given it was the first conversation, and she told you something true and personal about herself. You hung up on her? That sort of makes you more of a whacko than her. My thoughts exactly. Only if you say it at the wrong time Sounds like you have some control issues. Sorry to say this, but maybe she dodged a bullet so it's good you hung up on her. Now she can find a man who won't play stupid games.
Johnny85 Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I eat oatmeal just about everyday for breakfast..and not that instant junk that's over-processed and takes out most of the health benefits. The real stuff. I digress. PhillyDude, what if she said "I use to be married..to John Ritter." Would that have been good enough for you? More seriously, I think you over-reacted. You seem to have been looking for a reason to disconnect from her. You put her on the spot. Her answer wasn't perfect but it doesn't signify "wacko". If I discarded every guy that gave me a wacky answer or comment, I'd be dateless. The health benefits are just about the same!
Emilia Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Maybe I should have just said..........."tell me something goofy about you" ew, I would have hung up on you for that. You are not 10 years old anymore. 'Goofy'... Yuck
loveo Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 The health benefits are just about the same! Yup, exactly same for sure.
Johnny85 Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Yup, exactly same for sure. http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/expert.q.a/06/26/oatmeal.benefits.reheating.jampolis/
Disenchantedly Yours Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 The health benefits are just about the same! I've read different! Instant oatmeal is processed and alot of the good stuff is taken out through that process. And seriously, I've noticed a difference myself after I switched over to the real stuff.

OMG, the only nutjob I see in this scenario is you! Though her ego may be bruised a bit, I hope that woman realizes how lucky she is not to have to deal with you any longer. Wow.
zengirl Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I met her on plenty of fish and we were having a 3rd conversation. So for her to say she was married before after i gave her an example of what to tell me I was just stunned. I didn't know that right now. You want to control what she says? As others have said, you seem controlling and strange in this situation. I mean, her mentioning she used to be married is not crazy. And it's not something you necessarily have to wait ages to tell someone either. . . As always, PD, you have way too many rules for people.
OnyxSnowfall Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 LMAO The irony. Perhaps one day you will decide to take a deeper look at yourself. Otherwise, brace yourself... there's a very slim chance you will find someone to be with who is NOT a psycho/nut/enter whatever you truly are here *cough*...
Thieves Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Personally, if that were me, the next time I saw you I'd dump a fresh bowl of steaming hot apple cinnamon oatmeal on your precious head, PhillyDude. If I ever saw you. How rude of you. Maybe she really was nervous or was simply on another wavelength. You should know better.
Thieves Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 The health benefits are just about the same! I've been duped? What the hell?
oaks Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I asked this NUT a fun type of question on the phone to get the conversation started. I asked........tell me something private about you that most people don't know? She reminds me of Dilbert in this strip from a few days ago: http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2011-10-03/
Author PhillyDude Posted October 13, 2011 Author Posted October 13, 2011 ew, I would have hung up on you for that. You are not 10 years old anymore. 'Goofy'... Yuck So I have to be serious all the time because I'm grown? You realized how stupid that sounds?
AHardDaysNight Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Oatmeal is really great for your brain. Increases memory.
Onlyjonley Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) You definitely overreacted. Talking to someone you don't know very well on the phone can be nerve-wracking. Doesn't make her stupid or crazy. She's probably better off with you hanging up on her. Edited October 13, 2011 by hebbywebby
LexiB Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 So I have to be serious all the time because I'm grown? You realized how stupid that sounds? So she should have answered in a way that mirrored your response just because you expected her to? You realize how stupid thatsounds?
