My immediate response is "Oh, you have Linux?!"

I met this girl working at a restaurant over the weekend. She was fairly talkative and a bit fun so I got her number. Let's say it's a small world, but somehow we got in the conversation where she asked me if I knew how to fix laptops (MacBook). I'm not much of an Apple guy, so I managed to dodged that.

Yesterday I randomly invited her out for some tennis in this great windy weather, but she had to work. She asked me to come to her work place (another job) for some 1 hour sale. I should've dodged this one, but I was nice enough to come by and get stuff for my mom in the process.

This morning I asked her about random stuff, and somehow got into the conversation about her phone running out of memory and needed expansion.

Help me get unstuck in this mode. Well, at least this beats wasting my time with an ex.

My buddy's gf has a cute sister. I didn't ask for her number. In fact, she was a bit miffed when she saw me getting the waitress's number :trollface:. This girl is constantly glued to her phone taking selfies. Like her older sis, she shows signs of lazy butt syndrome - hates running and exercising.

What's that? Some form of STD?

Fixing laptops, going to buy things from her work instead of going out, upgrading memory on phones? Sounds like you're playing the nice guy and are at the top of the list to be friend zoned.

The best wing man is not actually a man, but rather a wing woman. I'd try to turn her into that, which will either yield you A) An awesome wing woman or B) Flip her jealousy switch... either way win/win

Makes more sense. I've run into girls like these before (several). Like we barely know each other and she goes off asking these sort of things. I'm probably going to back off slowly... no real intent on dating her anyhow (too youngish). I've only known her since Saturday night haha. Oh the intent of wing woman would be nice... gotta make some connections.

Haha! No way. A bit too young for me, but entertaining nonetheless. She's actually a relative of one of my friend's wife (big family here). He thinks we're hitting it off and would vouch for me.

My single buds and I are in the middle of talking about looking around for single young professionals.

Visit Thailand. This is why I have been there since 2007. I haven't cooked a meal for myself since I stepped foot in Bangkok in March 2007. The only thing I really miss is my Z.
But the women are absolutely lovely.

Yeah there are woMEN. Same as anywhere I suppose. It's a very tolerant society here. In many ways much better than the mindset in western society.
I do like it here but sometimes I need a "time out" and take a flight back to the USA. Did I mention the ladies are lovely ? lol

This is tough! I notice phone calls isn't really the thing to do anymore, so it's all about texting and messaging.

Texting/Messaging is a little less personal at first and easier to engage in by both parties. Kind of like the anonymity of the internet, in a way it is like a mask for people, possibly people like me who take some time to open up or are a bit shy at first.

Kind of fits here.



My friend and his wife went to Times Square for NYE and are playing long distance match-maker for me apparently.

Wouldn't be too bad of a thing if the girl was coming back home to Arizona, but she lives in Atlanta.

Still, texting it is.




Which I'm grateful for, because my buddy and this girl text me at like 11:45-midnight and I'd have been pissed if my phone range, because someone was calling me.

The anonymity of the internet is amazing for meeting new people.

Texting is ok. I prefer texts to phone calls any day for small snippets. Some women prefer voice calls, though, so I just have to change as needed.

Actual messaging is still king amongst non-face-to-face conversation (Skype/web cam chat is a strange hybrid) for me. I love talking in IM to someone, though I do it far less than I used to. You can really get close to people by talking online and sharing feelings/thoughts/interests. It's far easier for almost everyone than in person.

The exception being someone who can't write very well at all, and thus can't properly communicate via written words. Granted, that is plenty of people, but those aren't people I tend to be around even in person...

I can usually tell when I'm not going to get along with someone in person by some extended conversations via IM.

Yea, this is I get for slacking the past 2 years. So far met 3 girls of various age. The youngest one was just a lot of fun to talk to, so she pretty much made it easier for me to let go. The next two are tough. I already blew it with one. The last is fun to talk to, outgoing, but takes a while to warm up.

From texting I realize I can't carry a normal direct conversation. It has to be short blips of words of random stuff to get her attention. I don't know. I get advice left and right. Basically I try my best not to come off desperate.

So far when meeting complete strangers, I can get her number. That doesn't mean she's interested, so I have to somehow build it. I'm OK with that since I rather not rush, but when she isn't communicating as much it's tough. I wouldn't give up till she tells me she has absolutely no interest. So far I'm getting FZ, but I think I can try to play my cards carefully with the remaining one. Still looking for variety in the mean time.
