AllForNothing Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hehe. For the record, I don't think you talk like you're from Siberia. When I say, "from the way you were talking," I don't mean your diction, cadence, grammar or sentence structure. I mean that I've seen you talk about your age and location being an obstacle. To hear you describe it, you're as out-of-luck in finding a partner as a 90 year old in Siberia. Not that you actually talk in a similar fashion, but you talk as if you're in a similar predicament. But hey, you're 35. That's prime real estate as far as I'm concerned. You're only now old enough to start having a little bit of a clue about life, you still have a ton of your youth on tap, etc. 35 is a good age to be. I can't speak for Midwestern dating circles, but you're a good age for dating, I think. But of course I'd say that. I'm a little older. Take it for what it's worth. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Chris715 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 You do know that I am not actually a 90 year old woman from Siberia, and people attempting to acquire graduate degrees tend to do better at that sort of thing if they don't sound like valley girls.. I can see the research prospectus now, "So I like had an N=32 in like a one-tailed ANOVA, but like, I mean, the control group like... :-p You would be the talk of the town. A valley girl with a brain! But seriously, I don't think you should ever dumb yourself down in a social setting to appeal to other people... And I'm talking from experience because I'm very guilty of doing just that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

JoelBarish Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'm confused. Does beig well spoken make you sound like you're 90 or you're from Siberia? Or both. I mean, I can't see that sounding like a 90 year old from Siberia could be much of a turn on, perhaps that accounts for my lack of success? I mean, like, ya know, I could do like a total valley girl impersonation , I mean, like, if you guys think if would, like, help? :-p Ha ha I wondered about the nationality question not so much the age. I guess us commoners just speak different. Y'all Link to post Share on other sites
ponchsox Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Dating is all about how you look at it. I used to speed date and think of it as a numbers game. Now I'm more selective about who I date. I make sure we have certain things in common before I invest any time. I have fun with it and whatever happens, happens. I no longer sit by my phone waiting for a text or feel rejected if they don't want another date. Eventually, I will find someone who wants to be with me for good. Link to post Share on other sites
Author AnyaNova Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Yeah. For now though, I'm trying to just be done with it for awhile. Although, seriously, you dudes aren't making it easy. :-p No sooner than I put down the goal and give up, I start getting attention. I don't know. But, I'm not seeking anything out. I am just going to concentrate on living my life to the best of my ability and the best of my faith. Link to post Share on other sites

Author AnyaNova Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Did you meet someone?!? I mean, not really. Sort of. We chatted til the parking lot, but lets just say I'm reasonably sure that he placed himself in such a way as to facilitate such an encounter. I am sticking to my resolve. I have zero expectations or anything. It was just nice, and I'm usually pretty thick headed and miss guy's attempts, if you know what I mean. It is just ironic, the day after I declare my intention to give up the ghost. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
