Congratulations. What on earth does 138 mean.

[EricMM 0]

In the eye of the tiger?

 

We are 138

We are 138

[C Dubya 04 0]

I think 138 was the number of minutes they talked? Although I have no idea why that should have been obvious. Or why he mentioned it.

 

This thread needed some Lost like numbers though, so I'm all for it.

 

Oh, and if she'll eat boneless chicken, she's no where near being a strict vegetarian.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

The only reason I posted the 138 thing at the time was cause like I said I just saw my cell phone and it said 138 minutes and I was stunned cause I didnt realize I talked that long. Thats probably a record for me talking on the phone to anyone as well.

 

Oh, and I dont know about the chicken thing, but I know there are some vegetarians who eat fish (she doesn't). She said she wont eat chicken on a bone cause she has a wierd thing about the bones, but she'll eat boneless chicken and I never asked why.

 

Oh, and If I do ever get to cook with her: Ratatouille..which is a great idea this time of year since I should be able to get all of the fresh vegetables down the road from one of the farmers that put up a produce stand all the time in the summer, cheap too.

so I just took 20 sleeping pills.

 

possible EFA is this thing doesn't go down well.

 

nah, I'm fuckin with you Marvin...I hope things go well...take it easy, don't be nervous, breathe, don't let her see ya sweat.

138 is actually pretty obvious if you think about it.

 

Oh, screw it, this is good news for a change....

 

I just talked with this girl Kim for 2 hours and 18 minutes (I know this because my cell has a call timer and it cost me a bundle to call..I should have used the landline) over the phone. How I got her number is irrelevent and a story I will not divulge, however I was the one that called her (right after the Os game finished). It didnt exactly start too well, but it went about 2 hours and 15 minutes longer than I thought it would. But I think we talked about a ton of things and we do have a lot of common interests and she sounds like a generally good person and I actually had to end the call because I need to go to bed, however I cant sleep now if I tried..so I just took 2 sleeping pills.

 

The even better news is I will be going out to dinner with her on Wednesday, which should be fun since she's a vegetarian and a type 1 diabetic. She is getting ready to start taking classes in 2 weeks at UMES, and she has her own apartment across the street from my old high school.

No..I dont know what she looks like and she doesnt know what I look like although I mentioned the important thing.

 

I may have also goofed up a bit, but I'll stand behind it..she said, paraphrasing as best I can remember "I really dont know how to cook, I usually eat out a lot" which rang bells in my brain to offer to at some point if things go well show her a few things and maybe cook a meal together..although not as smoothly as that. She said something to the effect of "we'll see" which was after we had agreed to dinner.

 

Im supposed to call her on Monday..so between now and Monday I've got to come up with a good restaurant that a type 1 diabetic/ pretty strict vegetarian (she'll eat chicken as long as its boneless and thats it) can eat at..Im probably going to break down and see where she eats at so often.

 

That is a good start. I'll echo what BL said, just be relaxed. You have already established a groove with her, which is usually the toughest thing at first. I'm sure there will be awkwardness at the start of the date but I'd like to think you already broke through a few walls now.

I hate to be a prick, but there are still about 6 1/2 days for this to go horribly, horribly wrong and the odds say that it will by this weekend. I hope I'm not right about this, but I wouldn't be shocked to see this one go by the boards too.

[Black Lushus 0]

I've gotta admit, I'm probably one of the few people here that will actually feel good if this goes well for ol' Marv! I'm sure almost every guy here has a friend that is completely unlucky in love and it's always nice to see them get it together and make something happen finally.

[Sideburnious 0]

Yeah, I hope it goes well for you to Marv, you deserve it.

And the circle is complete with you making cheese cake for a woman. I guess that was the focal point to everything.

[EricMM 0]

Just please RELAX.

 

Do not dwell on what could go wrong, dream about what could go right.

 

Really.

 

Stop focusing on it and focus on her.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

If she hadn't said the magic words, I wouldn't have said anything. I had already told her that Im a cook and I went to a culinary arts school, so I figured there was something behind her saying it.

 

And yeah, my work sticks its nose in things again as I've got to cook 3 out of the next 4 days starting tomorrow, but she already said she had plans for the weekend anyway. She did say though that she was up for going out any night next week..I for some reason picked Wednesday. Im going to call her again Monday though.

 

Oh, and one other positive bonus to me..she doesn't drink.

[Sideburnious 0]

Oh and I'd agree, stick to your strengths. Women like a man who can cook for them. And whatever you do, talk to her on the phone, email, whatever, but dont DON'T try to push or see her before the day you've already selected, unless she comes to you with the suggestion first. You don't want to seem to desperate to see her.

 

Oh, and this time, if work ask you to work Weds, tell them to fuck off. I mean seriously, even if they end up "relying on you" you have the right to say no, and you deserve this date alot more than the rest of the chefs/ staff etc.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

For what its worth, I was able to put to bed any lingering doubts I had about the phone call (I admit I know I sounded extremely nervous early on and the whole cooking thing I was kinda worried came across wrong) because she sent me an email just now saying that she "felt a connection" and that she'd like to hear from me again, even going as far as to say shed be home the rest of the night if I wanted to call her tonight. But Im going to stick to my original plan of calling her Monday.

[Guest]

Call her. She wants to talk to you.

Feeling a connection means that you're not "just friends". This is good. Now call her.

*crosses fingers for Marvin*

 

don't fuck this up, man!

[MrRant 0]

If she mentions any Russian hertitage. Run. Run fast, run silent and run deep.

Shes got a slight southern accent, but thats about normal for people around here.

[Guest NYankees]

Ok I need to know how you meet this chick and what she looks like? how do you think she is going to react to you when she sees you? Dont feel nervous and make your condition a big deal. Good luck on Wednesday.

[2GOLD 0]

Dude, I really hope you called her. She couldn't have been throwing a harder signal at you to call. She liked talking to you and you acted like yourself. She seems to actually like you, so just be yourself and relaxed and it'll be cool.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

No, I didnt call. I know its stupid, but I didnt.

 

As for what she looks like, I said that I didnt know, but I do know a few things..Shes "short", she has brown hair, and shes 26 which is 2 years older than me. The short thing kinda worries me since she said "short" and not a specific height. Im almost 6'2" so I would hope "short" is closer to like 5'6" than 5' but whatever.

[Sideburnious 0]

Don't worry about not calling her man. It's not the end of the world. this way you'll have lots to talk about on monday about your weekend, work etc as well as your usual stuff.

[Guest NYankees]

Why the fuck are you worrying? You should be happy to get what you are getting. Beggars cant be choosers my friends. How did you meet this girl?

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

I just talked to her for almost an hour and a half..missed the first hour of RAW but whatever.

 

Wednesday at 8pm were meeting at a place called Goin Nuts for dinner. Should be interesting.

[Prime Time Andrew Doyle 0]

Go get her Tiger.

[EricMM 0]

Just in case...

 

Here's some reading material

 

You need all the help you can get. And, if you get this down pat, your lack of hair would be the last thing on her mind.

[geniusMoment 0]

Before you meet her be sure to close your next phone conversation with "No fatties". Even though she could be the ultimate slumpbuster, a 24 year slumpbuster.

[EricMM 0]

Your first time isn't really a "slump buster" because he's a virgin.

 

He doesn't REALLY know what he's missing.
