Project Girlfriend; Project Cut My Losses And Get Some Sleep

[sistawendy]

I went on another first date last night with a woman whom I met on OKCupid. I have to say, I haven't had a first date go that well in a long time. My hair is curly, and hers is even curlier. Curlier is bi, poly, and (ahem) shares some of my interests. Yeah, quelle surprise. She's fun to talk to, an art teacher, Jewish, and perhaps therefore reminiscent of Nibs in a way that's both pleasant and a little disturbing to me. Curlier doesn't strike me as being on a mission, though - certainly less than I am, and less than Nibs was 18 (!) years ago. I'll be emailing her shortly about a second date.

ETA: I'm beginning to think that there's an inverse relationship between the number of zits on my face and the quality of the date.

One of my friends from chiptune had a little birthday party late last night. It was originally scheduled for 10:00, so I chilled at the Mercury after my date. However, she nudged it to 10:30 and then showed up 45 minutes after that. Needless to say, I was in bed by the time I got the text saying she couldn't find me.

Guess her age. Just guess. That's right: under 25. My snarky side wonders if she gets away with this stuff regularly because she's really pretty.

It could be simply that she's young, but pretty is always a successful currency.

it has always been my experience that younger people are more prone to doing things because no one has ever told them that such behaviors are not OKAY. Pretty people are even less likely to have these things pointed out.

I would say it is highly likely she simply doesn't know that such behaviors are considered rude, or why. I have made it a habit, for most of my life, when such faux pas occur to pull the person in question aside and have a private word to merely explain that these sorts of behaviors make the other people involved feel undervalued, and that if this is not her intention, she needs to be more on top of her own behaviors.

Staxxy is wise.

And awesome, and lots of other superlatives, but right now wise is the dominant one.
