I asked, but did not get a rejection. It was for a second date, so I'm not sure if that counts, but I don't think I want it to go anywhere. Can I still play?

She can't count that, but if she keeps asking guys out she can keep playing until she finds on she does want it to go somewhere with, though. I think that's what she was asking... it's not like she got disqualified 'cause someone said yes.
But are there penalty points? Posts: 7954 | Registered: Mar 2004

1) I'm too chicken to ask anyone out. 2) All the guys I know are either too young, too old or taken, except for one... 3) ...and that's a delicate situation (i.e. I'm too chicken).

If history is any guide*, I could easily get to six in a row, but the problem is I meet someone I would like to date about once a year. And each one raises the bar for the next, since I only want to date spectacular women.
I've tried lowering my standards. Didn't work well.

That would be a terrible thing to do to someone. I mean, if you couldn't BRAG that you were dating Kat...

Then the rest of me says, "But, dude man, you've been single for the past few years because of a genuine disinterest. Sure there've been some cool girls, but really, who has the time? The inclination? Besides, if she says no you'll ruin your 100% record "
And, really, it's all about keeping that record.
Pish. I had a ten year no dating streak going when Bob asked me out.

I invited someone to come see me play tonight and she declined... am I on the leader board now?

Woah there. The streak is that I've never been *turned down*, not that I havne't gone out on dates. Just thought I'd clear that up lest someone think I was less of a man.

It isn't too late to join the game. And I imagine it won't be too late to join the game when you're done with finals, either...

I'm assuming it's not legal to tell the person you're asking out that you're playing to see who can get to six rejections first?

I'm trying to decide if that would (in most cases) make you more or less likely to rack up a point.

So you're in the same boat as Shigosei, then. *nods*
After discovering today that every single one of my immediate co-workers is either married or in a live-in relationship, and that everyone who isn't after a couple of years here typically leaves for somewhere else, I have resolved to remain single indefinitely. This has the added benefit of not changing my existing plans. Posts: 10886 | Registered: Feb 2000

Hmm...went on said date, everything was fine, NO chemistry, no connection, but not boring, so all in all, a positive experience that will not be repeated.
And...I'm out. There's no one else around here I'm even close to wanting. If I am to play, I need ideas.

In all seriousness, I was broadcasting it because I was pretty disturbed by it. If there's really so little to do around here that the only thing people can find to occupy themselves is marriage, I'm going to have a long couple of years. Time to dust off the ol' resume, I guess... not that it really had time to get dusty.
It's like people come here, and within a couple of years they're either married and buying a house to settle down or they're leaving. I may not even last the three years I need to get my P. Eng.

Katie, do you limit your dating pool exclusively to fellow Mormons?

This almost makes me want to start a conspiracy among askees of wherever you are to crush your pride a little.
Edit: I've decided this sounds really mean-spirited. I'm not trying to be mean-spirited. I'm just joking.

Twinky...well...it kind of depends what the point is. Just for fun, no problem, that sounds wonderful. Anything serious, though, and him being LDS is actually very important to me, so it doesn't seem quite honest to date anyone without saying that in the beginning.

Details available to twinky by email, if requested. All I'm saying here is it was online, but not via a dating site.

That puts rivka at two. And "not via a dating site" is a step in the right direction, rivka! Good stuff!
So, do we have updates from anyone else? Paul? Boris? Katie? I hear Jim's happily out of contention...
Also, BtL, go back and look at your post at the bottom of page one. Now try to tell me that it wasn't a dirty rotten lie. You lying liar.
