I have a couple of funny stories, but I'll save them for later. Chat transcript happens now. Lulz ensue.
(09:34:29 PM) RockManMaloma: hey whats up
(09:36:22 PM) Moi: Hello person I don't know?
(09:36:30 PM) RockManMaloma: correct
(09:36:31 PM) RockManMaloma: im rich
(09:36:35 PM) RockManMaloma: saw you on VF how are you?
(09:36:50 PM) Moi: I'm headachy, sweaty and tired, you? :P
(09:37:00 PM) RockManMaloma: hmmm tired and a bit sweaty
(09:37:03 PM) RockManMaloma: long day
(09:37:07 PM) RockManMaloma: how come you are in such a state?
(09:37:27 PM) Moi: Ah, a day full of classes and a job interview and stuff. Yeah. Long day. :3
(09:37:42 PM) RockManMaloma: wow
(09:37:55 PM) RockManMaloma: you need a shower, a glass of wine, and a nice foot rub
(09:38:24 PM) Moi: Well, I'm watching SVU, I don't like wine, and the boyfriend who'd be giving foot rubs is forty miles away at his apartment.
(09:38:28 PM) Moi: so I'm SOL unfortunately.
(09:38:36 PM) RockManMaloma: ohhhh you have a man
(09:38:40 PM) RockManMaloma: im sol on you then
(09:38:56 PM) RockManMaloma: i suppose
(09:39:33 PM) Moi: It says I'm in a relationship, not an open one either, on my VF. Do people even read my profile, or is it just "OMG A GIRL WHO DOESN'T SHOP AT HOT TOPIC!! *raep*"? >.<
(09:39:38 PM) Moi: Sorry, I just don't get it.
(09:39:49 PM) RockManMaloma: hahah nah i misread it
(09:40:06 PM) RockManMaloma: you seemed cool and very cute
(09:40:07 PM) Moi: Man, there are a lot of people with questionable reading comprehension out there
(09:40:09 PM) RockManMaloma: cant blame me
(09:40:12 PM) Moi: I am cool and cute damnit :P
(09:40:14 PM) Moi: *ego*
(09:40:19 PM) RockManMaloma: im a writer too so im doubly embarrassed
(09:40:58 PM) Moi: I mean, I'm pretty sure it says "in a relationship" and I know whatever it says it's not "open relationship" lol
(09:41:10 PM) RockManMaloma: i miss the bullet points sometimes
(09:41:15 PM) RockManMaloma: how long you been with the man?
(09:41:25 PM) Moi: A year and three months
(09:41:30 PM) RockManMaloma: very cool
(09:41:43 PM) RockManMaloma: now where are you and where is this mystical 40 miles away?
(09:41:53 PM) Moi: It's astounding how many guys seem to think "I'm dating but not married" = "it's totally ok to still hit on her, she's technically single, amirite guise?!" Very scary haha.
(09:41:57 PM) Moi: I'm in NY and he's in CT.
(09:42:13 PM) Moi: He just got this job a couple of months ago, it required him to relocate.
(09:42:19 PM) Moi: It was worth it for his career.
(09:42:20 PM) RockManMaloma: that sucks
(09:42:23 PM) RockManMaloma: how old are you guys?
(09:43:04 PM) Moi: You didn't really look at much on that profile.
(09:43:10 PM) Moi: I'm 25, boyfriend is 22.
(09:43:21 PM) Moi: Where are you located?
(09:43:38 PM) RockManMaloma: queens
(09:43:40 PM) RockManMaloma: flushing
(09:43:44 PM) Moi: Haha wow
(09:43:48 PM) Moi: that's where I go to school
(09:43:52 PM) Moi: If you wanna stalk me
(09:43:52 PM) RockManMaloma: where at?
(09:44:00 PM) RockManMaloma: look i would love to stalk you
(09:44:02 PM) Moi: Now that's much to reveal to a stranger
(09:44:03 PM) Moi: :D
(09:44:10 PM) Moi: I'll just say I go to college in Flushing.
(09:44:16 PM) RockManMaloma: thats awesome
(09:44:27 PM) RockManMaloma: fuck we should get a drink one day
(09:44:30 PM) Moi: You in school? Graduated? Never been?
(09:44:36 PM) Moi: I don't really drink actually
(09:44:53 PM) RockManMaloma: graduated with a degree in tv and film, im a writer and photorgapher
(09:44:57 PM) Moi: But maybe in a large, public, crowded place that is not near my school's campus, we could get something to eat or something.
(09:44:59 PM) Moi: ah cool
(09:45:00 PM) RockManMaloma: and maybe not drinks - maybe a bite or something
(09:45:01 PM) Moi: so how old are yoU?
(09:45:06 PM) RockManMaloma: 28
(09:45:07 PM) Moi: I could use friends in the area, anyway.
(09:45:12 PM) Moi: Where'd you go to school?
(09:45:16 PM) RockManMaloma: nyit
(09:45:21 PM) RockManMaloma: the only shitty part about me is that i dont drive
(09:45:26 PM) RockManMaloma: but i can bus it to you
(09:45:28 PM) RockManMaloma: or whatever
(09:45:56 PM) Moi: Don't worry sug
(09:46:01 PM) Moi: I don't have a car either
(09:46:10 PM) Moi: I have a license, and I used to have a car, but it's too expensive for me right now
(09:46:20 PM) Moi: My campus wants $225/SEMESTER for parking.
(09:46:22 PM) Moi: Duuuude.
(09:46:22 PM) RockManMaloma: i aint even got a license just 3 failed road tests
(09:46:35 PM) RockManMaloma: you must go to queens college
(09:46:38 PM) Moi: Poor depth perception? :P
(09:46:54 PM) RockManMaloma: nah i drive like a kid from queens - which they dont like on the test
(09:47:16 PM) Moi: I'm from LI and somehow I manage not to drive like an asshat, I'm quite proud of that.
(09:47:32 PM) Moi: I obey all traffic laws except the speed limit...but I certainly make people cry when they piss me off.
(09:47:38 PM) Moi: It's totally legal to make people cry, happily.
(09:47:41 PM) Moi: ^__^
(09:47:44 PM) Moi: So what kind of films do you make?
(09:48:37 PM) RockManMaloma: i dont do any film work now
(09:48:39 PM) RockManMaloma: i write and take pics
(09:48:44 PM) RockManMaloma: so where do you live now?
(09:48:54 PM) Moi: Western Nassau
(09:48:59 PM) RockManMaloma: oh cool
(09:49:02 PM) RockManMaloma: you bus everyday?
(09:49:13 PM) Moi: Yeah, I hop the N4 in and then switch to head up Parsons
(09:49:20 PM) RockManMaloma: cool
(09:49:29 PM) RockManMaloma: wanna meet in flushing one day?
(09:50:34 PM) Moi: Uhm, sure, I'll happily meet someone I've never spoken to before!
(09:50:37 PM) Moi: That was sarcasm.
(09:51:00 PM) RockManMaloma: oh well im sure you have a cell
(09:51:02 PM) RockManMaloma: heres my number
(09:51:06 PM) RockManMaloma: 718 406 6961
(09:51:09 PM) RockManMaloma: rich
(09:51:11 PM) RockManMaloma: keep it
(09:51:20 PM) Moi: Dude, just a tip--most girls, especially the taken ones whose profile you didn't actually look at beyond the picture, are not super into the idea of you jumping down their pants.
(09:51:33 PM) RockManMaloma: who says i was gonna jump down your pants
(09:51:36 PM) Moi: Just from a female perspective, you're coming on 'waaaay too strong, ESPECIALLY as I'm taken.
(09:51:37 PM) Moi: Dude
(09:51:47 PM) Moi: I don't wanna meet you IRL when we've spoken for all of five minutes.
(09:51:49 PM) Moi: That's creepy.
(09:51:51 PM) Moi: Chillax.
(09:52:05 PM) RockManMaloma: i really would just like to chill with a cool chick - thats all - sorry im super honest and straightforward
(09:52:09 PM) Moi: You're pumping for lots of personal info, giving me your number, and asking me to meet within moments of first initiating contact?
(09:52:15 PM) Moi: Duuuude...no. Bad. No donut.
(09:52:19 PM) RockManMaloma: hahahaha
(09:52:26 PM) RockManMaloma: sorry
(09:52:29 PM) Moi: I was going to say maybe if we talk for a bit in a few weeks or something...but I think not, now.
(09:52:30 PM) RockManMaloma: i do a lot of network events
(09:52:37 PM) RockManMaloma: which is why
(09:52:38 PM) RockManMaloma: its
(09:52:39 PM) RockManMaloma: hey
(09:52:41 PM) RockManMaloma: here my number
(09:52:42 PM) RockManMaloma: call me
(09:52:48 PM) Moi: I'm not going to call you, fyi. :)
(09:52:51 PM) Moi: It's not personal.
(09:52:54 PM) RockManMaloma: you dont have to
(09:53:00 PM) Moi: I don't call my friends.
(09:53:06 PM) RockManMaloma: im not pressuring you and theres no rush
(09:53:12 PM) RockManMaloma: you seem col to talk to and this is fine
(09:53:12 PM) Moi: I'm not going to call a stranger who isn't a) providing me a service or b) giving me a job.
(09:53:30 PM) Moi: I'm not putting your number in my phone, I have enough numbers of people I actually know and don't call.
(09:53:48 PM) RockManMaloma: thats cool whatver works
(09:53:53 PM) RockManMaloma: so what you takin in school?
(09:53:59 PM) Moi: English and secondary ed.
(09:54:06 PM) Moi: :) I want to teach middle-school English.
(09:54:11 PM) RockManMaloma: thats pretty cool
(09:54:15 PM) Moi: Yeah, I think so :D
(09:54:19 PM) Moi: So what do you write about usually?
(09:54:22 PM) RockManMaloma: i have some friends going to queens to teach english for high school
(09:54:37 PM) RockManMaloma: i write about comic books, video games, entertainment, and i write for a giv site
(09:54:49 PM) Moi: I never said yea or nay to whether I go to Queens, don't presume. :)
(09:56:23 PM) Moi: Well, at least you can write a full sentence without using the letter U as a word. :P so maybe if you're nice and talk to me long enough, I'll consider giving you *my* number.
(09:56:28 PM) Moi: Long enough = weeks
(09:56:52 PM) RockManMaloma: yea thats cool
(09:56:53 PM) Moi: Minimum\
(09:57:00 PM) RockManMaloma: im not nuts
(09:57:01 PM) RockManMaloma: well i am
(09:57:07 PM) RockManMaloma: but not in a stalker way
(09:57:21 PM) RockManMaloma: wut du u mean?
(09:57:25 PM) RockManMaloma: hahaha
(09:57:40 PM) Moi: That's fine, I'm completely insane and not even in a fun way, in a barely-staying-out-of-the-padded-room way, but you don't need to know that >.>
(09:58:13 PM) RockManMaloma: thats cool
(09:58:16 PM) RockManMaloma: i appreciate that
(09:58:26 PM) RockManMaloma: i have very few chick friends
(09:58:30 PM) RockManMaloma: or cool chick friends
(09:58:32 PM) RockManMaloma: and i need some
(09:58:45 PM) RockManMaloma: i got out of a long term relationship like 6 months ago
(09:58:51 PM) RockManMaloma: so im trying to hang and see whats out there
(09:58:53 PM) RockManMaloma: thats my story
(10:00:18 PM) Moi: Ok, well, I'm not "out there" in the "totally trying to score some booty" way. I'm not even remotely available. I don't mind friends, but I highly doubt I'm the sort of person you'd be friends with.
(10:00:37 PM) Moi: Having a VF doesn't make me that sort of person, and proven you haven't even looked at my profile past the picture and IM name.
He is clearly not a fan of hints or the taking thereof.
I really, seriously don't know what else to tell him. Suggestions?
(10:01:05 PM) RockManMaloma: try me - weve been talking so far
(10:02:36 PM) Moi: Ok
(10:03:30 PM) RockManMaloma: so whered you and your man meet?
(10:04:21 PM) Moi: I used to be friends with his sister.
(10:04:46 PM) Moi: We have a lot of common interests
(10:05:23 PM) RockManMaloma: cool like what
(10:05:23 PM) RockManMaloma: ?
DUUUUUDE. If his intentions weren't VERY clearly "omg vagina!!!" this would irk me less.
(Yes, I could just block him, but then I couldn't show you all this hilarious bullshit!
