Year of the Boar

Jan 09, 2007 12:35

It was a brisk winter day in Kyoto. I had met up with Wilkie, Sarah, and Lydia that morning to explore the former capital of the Japanese empire. It turns out that while Europe was trying to remember how to take care of itself after the fall of the Roman Empire, Japan was buliding magnificent castles and temples, many of which stand to this day ( Read more... )

Sorry the date didn't work out, but I glad to hear you're on the market. And way to not get gored by a boar!

I used the phrase 'hit it off' incorrectly, as a result of my rushed typing and lack of editing. It wasn't a date, we were simply travel companions for the day.

Though you'd be upset if you know how many opportunities for dating/other things I've thrown away simply as a result of my own fears. It's probably more than I'll ever get again in my life.

I'm scared of girls, what can I say?

I really wouldn't know about boys, I've never pursued one. I'd argue that we're simpler.

I'm not even afraid of getting turned down, I don't know what it is. It may just be a lack of interest. I'm a leaf on the wind at this point, I have no time for this kind of thing.
The philosopher/poet Snoop Dogg wrote long ago "Bitches ain't shit but hos and tricks", and I think these words are still relevant today.

And what if I'm ensnared by her charms? Then I'd be stuck in this country.

You're absolutely right about the chloroform. It's one of my favorite pickup lines.

In this particular instance, she was leaving for Thailand the next day, so it really wouldn't have mattered. And the last girl was just way too short.

I'm probably being a nosey jerk, but I think you should find a girl who isn't leaving for another country and who meets minimum height requirements (You need a "You must be this tall to date Zach." stick like at amusement parks.) and go out to dinner or some such.

I know how you feel though. The first time I asked someone out I got nervous and slipped on absolutely nothing and plowed my head straight into her locker, leaving a structurally damaging dent.

Also, because I myself am not a wellspring of sagelike advice, I would recommend Swingers. It's packed full of sagelike wisdom on dating ( ... )
