I *did* manage to put together three rejections before my currently pleasant situation emerged... and I suppose it could change anytime, but for the moment I will be watching from the sidelines, yes. Posts: 3846 | Registered: Apr 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).
I am wondering who I was thinking of when I originally posted this. Obviously, that situation didn't go anywhere. The really amusing thing is that I am currently in a very similar state. (I'm still to chicken to ask anyone out. )

Harumph! The whole point of the game is to get you to not be chicken anymore!
In all seriousness, asking someone out is not a huge deal, and if you did it more often, you'd realize that... which is why I started the game. Posts: 10886 | Registered: Feb 2000

We, twinky, there is also still the severe lack of prospects as well as countless other lame excuses I can come up with. Posts: 1090 | Registered: Oct 2003

Some part of you must want to play the game, otherwise you wouldn't keep coming back to this thread. I totally don't buy this "severe lack of prospects" crap, either.

For certain definitions of "single," I suppose. But then, that's like saying "zero times anything is zero... except for very large values of zero."

You misspelled "I owe it all to being too much of a pansy to pursue anything."
You do have to admit that you exhibit a tendency to be the pursued rather than the pursuer.

I comfort myself in knowing that if she were asked if we were dating she'd be equally confused of how to answer the question

What the heck did you think I meant by "good scouting reports"!? Posts: 3243 | Registered: Apr 2002

I don't think so. Heck I don't think it ended up producing any dates, just a bunch of people saying they were too chicken to ask people out or there weren't any prospects around. Posts: 7954 | Registered: Mar 2004

Only if you count Jim's, I think. He didn't update the thread, but he certainly embodies the spirit in which it was intended. Also, rivka is actively looking and I think that's great.
It seems to me, though, that that wasn't the question you were actually asking.

I do not qualify to play this game. I am, quite happily, watching from the sidelines.
I am currently torn between running around telling Hatrack everything and the stringent bounds of Kat's Rule of Life. *amused* I think the rule of life is winning, but I still like the idea of this game. Posts: 26077 | Registered: Mar 2000

Mm. Glad someone does. *mildly depressed about there actually being anyone out there who will say yes (at least that I want to )*

I re-read this thread today. From what ElJay posted on the first page, you've only been actively looking for most of this year. With a potential dating pool as small as yours, I think it's much too soon to be getting discouraged. Far from it! I think you should be pleased with your progress.

quote:The best part about the game is that it's impossible to lose, because not only do you win if you get to six rejections, you also win when someone says yes, because then you've got yourself a hot date.
quote:If married people want to play, I'll count their scores -- however, I accept no responsibility for any ensuing divorces.
I think these two statements are contradictory...

I would love to play but, geesh, the cards are stacked. I mean, I always get those polite yes-but's. So, I think I'm being rejected even though they say yes. Then when we do meet up, like met you at such-and-such a place, it's "Hi! Great to see you again! Oh! man. Look at the time. Gotta run. Hey, let's meet again!" Then, it's back to those cash-and-carry dates.
