> 1) What is the oddest way you've accidently picked someone up?
Hasn't happened. So far I've only ever gone out with 1 girl in a
semi-serious way, and it was completely planned. :)
> 2) Did you ever try it again with someone else?
It has to happen first:)
> 3) How would you liked to be asked out? (by someone decently ok)
I would like an interesting, kindhearted, sweet, thoughtful, witty, and
average to attractive woman to suggest a coffee or dinner or movie whilst
making it plain the interest goes beyond platonic friendship...
> 4) Are you single?
Yes
> 5) Define "single" in your own word. (include what it limits)
Nobody to cuddle, flirt with, spend time with, exchange lewd innuendos
with, and at the least hug and kiss with the possibility of it going
further and lasting a long time...
> 6) When/if you are single, is it a bad thing? (depressing/lonely?)
Can be, yes...
(The depressing-loneliness increases for a while as the fourth power of
the time elapsed since I began to feel like I'd rather not be single, then
tails off to a more or less constant level that fluctuates with mood. For
instance, if some girl tells me she just wants to be friends, it spikes
for a few days. This happened two days ago, and the spike is now beginning
to subside, as a matter of fact.)
> 7) Should females ask guys out?
Yeah. The current system expects guys to about 3/4 of the time, which is
hardly fair. It should be the girls doing the asking 3/4 of the time,
since they are only one third as likely to be rejected as a guy in a
similar position! (Single guys never "just want to be friends" when an
attractive girl asks them out... unlike single girls, whose behavior
boggles the mind and remains inscrutable despite years of research,
computer simulation, neural network modelling, and mathematical theorems
proved from first principles. Spock can sum up women's dating behavior,
especially w.r.t passing up the seemingly perfect guy, in two words: "Most
illogical." :-) :) :))
> 8) Are you sexy?
I sure hope so and I really doubt it. (4 years or so of the let's-just-be-
friends routine tends to instill some doubt about one's physical
attractiveness. After all, the only time a guy would likely react that way to
an available interesting girl asking him out, would be if she weighed
around 400 pounds or was either jailbait or ten times his age. :-))
> 9) Is dating over-rated?
The formalized ritual: Guy likes woman, woman flirts with guy, guy asks
woman out, woman says "No", guy finds another one, repeat ad infinitum
barring extreme good fortune? Highly so. The process of two people each
attracted to the other physically and emotionally, getting to know one
another? Not one bit.
> 10) is not dating over-rated?
Being lonely, spending ones time in solitary activity or else going about
the university as though invisible? Highly so. Happy accidents, like being
spontaneously proposed to by a lovely young woman with the sweetest heart
and quickest most interesting mind (which never happens, so far as I know,
to anyone in this universe), or a friendship growing into something
stronger, most certainly not.

> People who are sexy aren't single.
WTF?
I seem to recall us being somewhat friendly acquaintances once. Now this
hostility. What the hell is going on?
Fun fact: Plenty of sexy people are single... everyone is, between
relationships. Someone can, in theory, be sexy and unlucky, be sexy and
for a while uninterested, or be sexy and be stranded on a desert island.

> 1) What is the oddest way you've accidently picked someone up?
While stuck in an elevator. (What can I say, we clicked...).
> 2) Did you ever try it again with someone else?
Depends on the circumstances...
> 3) How would you liked to be asked out? (by someone decently ok)
Are you asking, "Would you liked to be asked out?" or, "Under what
circumstances would you like to be asked out?" ?
> 4) Are you single?
No.
> 5) Define "single" in your own word. (include what it limits)
What I used to be. =) Being single means you don't have a steady
girlfriend (or boyfriend). You can date, you have friends, you can even
be having sex, but you can still be single.
> 6) When/if you are single, is it a bad thing? (depressing/lonely?)
No, I sometimes miss my bachelor days. I could do what ever I wanted
(head out with the guys, stay home watch tv, surf the internet, go out on
a date, study, whatever), without having to take into consideration what
my SO wanted to do...being single has its advantages, and drawbacks.
> 7) Should females ask guys out?
Yes, most definately. As there are shy women, there are shy men. If the
dance floor is empty, its as much the females fault, as it is the males.
> 8) Are you sexy?
I don't really know. I've been told yes, and I've been told no. I don't
really care actually...
> 9) Is dating over-rated?
It can be blown out of proportion... (please, no comments from the peanut
gallery). =P~
> 10) is not dating over-rated?
No.

Hmm... Have to disagree with you there... I can think of several sexy
single people I know.
I think it is probably true, however, that people who tend to be
especially unsexy are often single.

I would *REALLY* question that statement.
1) There are sexy people who are actually completely useless on any other
level, thus anyone they'd be in a relationship with quickly gets tired of
them.
2) There are sexy people who are insecure and tend to mess up their
relationships, or avoid them completely, and thus are single.
3) There are sexy people who don't feel that they need to be in a
relationship to feel happy, and prefer the loose & freespirited single
life.
4) Come to my school and I will show you gorgeous person after gorgeous
person who are single. People with not only extreme sexiness, but with
wonderful, attractive personalities.
If you meant that statement as a joke, then I apologize for not taking it
as such. But right now, it doesn't seem that funny.
...jane, who is not overly keen on
relationships at the moment...

"I seem to have lost my phone number. Could I borrow yours?" Not really
an accident but it's a pretty cheesy pick-up line which actually worked.

Nope.

Any way would be nice.

Unfortunately yes.

Hey man, when I have a girlfriend, I don't fool around! (I think that's
what you were trying to get at...)
> 6) When/if you are single, is it a bad thing? (depressing/lonely?)
That depends on whether or not I'm having a bad day. When I'm busy, a
girlfriend would get in the way. When I'm doing nothing, I get lonely.

YES!!! OH GOD YES!!!

<laughs hysterically>
Yes I'm with the Exploiting People For Fun Company under the guise of
being a longtime posting member of the ncf.sigs.youth... I've been lying
in wait since about message 300 or so just waiting for people to finally
believe my Shiny Happy persona so I can manipulate them and incriminate
them with my findings.
Er, who are you and why are you flaming me?
Brika. :)
P.S. This is even better than Dave Moorhouse's "That Brick Person"

Excuse me? I think you've gone way over the line calling Brika an asshole.
She happens to be a friend of mine, and I now have a quad grenade with
your name on it. I will paste it all over your face if I ever see you on a
Quake server around town :-)
I'm sure she's just interested in how different people feel on the
subject, so we can all get to know each other a bit more. And perhaps
also, ourselves.

As I recall, I posted an article saying I was single, later on I hoped I
was sexy (but doubted it)... the enxt article I read was the above. It
sure *sounded* like something hostile...

Er, 1) as I've tried to explain, since I only get along with you online,
I wouldn't call you a friend and 2) that seems a bit reactionary, but
thanks for the defense anyway. :)
