Journal TechnoLust's Journal: So FortKnox won't slap my head... :-) 33

Journal by TechnoLust
As most of you saw in this comment, FortKnox has threatened to hunt me down and give me the infamous 'Italian slap to the back of the head.' I've never had one of those and it doesn't sound particularly fun. So, just to get him off my back, (and prevent me from sitting at home Friday night playing video games) I called the cop. Ok, actually, I tried calling the Engineer's daughter first. That was the 3rd time that she didn't answer. 3 strikes and she's out. So, I called the cop chick about 8pm. "Hey, it's me, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, how about you?" she answered.
"Getting ready to go to Atlanta tomorrow."
"That sounds fun."
"Yeah. What's that buzzing sound?"
"My phone, it does that sometimes."
"Oh. Are you working this weekend?"
"No, I'm off Friday and Saturday. Why?"
"Would you like to go see a movie or something Friday night?"
"Sure, I guess so." (I was hoping for more of an, "I'd love to!" but I'm not picky.)
"Have you seen 'signs'?"
"No, the last movie I saw was 'super troopers.'" (Hey, she's a cop and it's a good movie, lay off.)
"So, how about I come by after work, and we'll go out to eat and then go see it?"
"Sounds good."
"Ok, I'll see you Friday then."
"Ok. Bye."

Ok, FortKnox, if this works out, you have to come to the wedding. :-)

  • Ok, FortKnox, if this works out, you have to come to the wedding. :-)

    If you go into the first date thinking about marrige the woman will freek out. I'm not assuming that your going to bring it up as conversation but still take it one step at a time man. At most think about the next date or maybe kissing her at the end of the night.

    I don't know perhaps it's different for Cristians.
    • Dude, a freaky stalker person is a freaky stalker person. And nobody wants one. (If they do, well, they have Issues.)

      That aside, they have known each for long enough to be reasonably know the other person, so it's not exactly a "first date." Actually, she might not even know it's a date. Tell us, He who Lusts after Technology, is this a date date or a hanging out date? If she doesn't know it's a date, I'm telling FortKnox on you! ;)
      • You saw the conversation, what would you assume? And if you assumed "hanging out," then how do I transition this from a hanging out scenario to a dating scenario?

        Please don't tell FK, my poor head won't take his mighty italian slap of death! :-)

          I remember once when I was 17. I was into this girl arround the office. We were hanging out and I memntioned that UCW's IMAX was playing the Matrx. She thought that was a cool idea so I asked her if she wanted to go.

          On the day of she showed up with three girlfriends. That sucked ass! Because they were REALLY anoying. Hopefully that won't happen to you or anybody else for that matter.

          The quickest way to tell if she's there for a date or a hangout is makeup. If she's all dolled up she knows it's a date. As for shifting gears. After you get out of the movie try asking her if she wants to go out to a club or something.
          • The quickest way to tell if she's there for a date or a hangout is makeup.

            Nope. Depends on the girl (and the guy). I might dress more nicely for a date, but no make-up, no way. And most of the guys I know and talk to say that make-up is, if anything, a negative.

            • Nope. Depends on the girl (and the guy). I might dress more nicely for a date, but no make-up, no way.

              Yeah, forgot to mention the clothing.

              And most of the guys I know and talk to say that make-up is, if anything, a negative.

              Not really. Guys just think they don't like a girl in makeup because all the whorish women wear WAY too much. What they don't realize is that all the really hot women have a tasteful amount makeup on. :)

              A little lip gloss, some mascara and maybe a hint of eyeshadow is great. Less is more of course. Better to under do it then to over do it.
              • I'll wear "a little lip gloss, some mascara, and maybe a hint of eyeshadow" when you do the same. I'll cover my ugly face when you cover yours.

                Okay. I'm done now. And now that I'm done being easily offended, I can say that I'm sure your face isn't ugly. Although, a little sparkly mascara never hurt a guy. ;)
              • A little lip gloss, some mascara and maybe a hint of eyeshadow is great.

                Nope, have to disagere with you there. I've always thought mascara to look incredibly ugly. My last girlfriend refused to leave the house unless she'd done her mascara, but IMHO she looked far better without it. Of course, she didn't believe me...

            • Yup, I remember comming home and hearing my mom say, "Are you wearing makeup".

              To which I would respond "no" and then go to the bathroom and try to find anyother remnants of the party/club I was at. This would of course prompt the 20 questions about the girl whose makeup I wound up wearing followed quickly by a short "I don't want to be a grandmother, no babies" speech. Yup, makeup just causes trouble.

          • The quickest way to tell if she's there for a date or a hangout is makeup.

            Err, depends. Some guys/gals do NOT like the whole make-up thing. I myself find it disgusting and tell all relavent parties such.

            (and to reference the other conversation in this thread, err, glittery eye shadow shit is for whores/sluts. PERIOD. My word that stuff looks HORRIBLE. Since when did crap that only hookers wear become mainstream? My word it looks AWFUL. Mind you I'll say the same thing about guys wearing faded jeans or those preripped pants. ;) )
            • Thank you for calling my 10 year old neice a whore/slut. I'll be sure to pass the message along.

              You should really watch the derogitory terms that you use. Just because you don't like the way something looks doesn't mean that all people who wear that are sexually promiscuous and/or engage in sexual contact for money.

              And by the way, I said glittery mascara. And kids like glitter. They wear it because it's this nifty sparkly stuff on their face, not because they need to find their next sexual conquest.

              tell all relavent parties such.

              It is really not up to you to decide that somebody's appearance is not up to your personal standards of preference and to be so rude as to tell them so.

                After, say, oh, age 20 or so it becomes a bit much. (err, I would say after age 14 or so. . . .)

                I was complaining about grown adults who put on so much glittery crud and seriously think that it makes them look better.

                No, it makes them look like they have a ton of cheap cheesy glitter crud on their face. Oh joy. (and that is what the stereotypical image of a woman of ill repute is, and I am kind of curious as to how in the world such an image became mainstream. . . .)

                It is really not up to you to decide that somebody's appearance is not up to your personal standards of preference and to be so rude as to tell them so.

                If a female that I know comes up to me and asks me how they look with such and such lipstick on, I have very right to tell them that I think that their lips already look beautiful without any lipstick at all.

                I do not believe in artificially editing the human body, rather I believe in perceiving the beauty that is already there.
                • I remember my grandmother asking my grandfather about make up once. He was probably 60ish. He said, and I quote, "A little paint never hurt an old barn." Of course, this was the guy I watched the three stooges with every weekend as a child. I miss him.
                  • I was watching TV with my grandmother one time, and I was flipping around a bit... came upon an interview with Tom Green, which I though pretty funny. He was up to his usual antics, and she just sort of sat there with this stunned, confused look on her face. I felt I'd inflicted enough, so I flipped down a few channels, and came upon a Three Stooges movie. They were running around and bopping each other on the head, and she was laughing so hard she started crying. I just sort of sat there, with this stunned, confused look on my face.
                • I do not believe in artificially editing the human body, rather I believe in perceiving the beauty that is already there.

                  So no full-body tattoos or piercings, eh? Guess I'll stay out of your neighbourhood. :-P
        • Because you guys have been friends for so long, if I were her, I would assume that's it's just another fun hanging out day with Technolust. Especially considering her answer, which sounded more like something that you would say to a friend.

          I think that a good way to transition it without saying "Hey baby, by the way, this is a date!" is to pick a romantic restaurant typically patronized only by couples.

          As for Mr. Five's tips, it really depends on the woman. I think the type of people that he dates are want to doll themselves up, but if she's like me, it's harder to tell. Movie? I'm showing up in a t-shirt and jeans regardless. If I really like you, it will be a nice t-shirt, though. :)

            This is all good advice I'd just ad leave your self an "out". Like on a normal date you could show up with flowers but on this one you might not want to because flowers = 100% date and you want plausible deniability.

            However showing up with chocolate flowers as a "joke" might be a cool idea. If she's into it it's just the same (better?) and if not it was just a joke. :)

            But as SW and F-rah said. Every woman is different and you know her a lot better than we ever will. So do whatever you think is right.

            Don't take any of my suggestions too seriously what the hell do I know.

            Movie? I'm showing up in a t-shirt and jeans regardless. If I really like you, it will be a nice t-shirt, though. :)

            Whatever SW so long as you wear a pendant to let me know you love me. :)
          • Clean shirts, dirty shirts, makeup, no makeup. See? Women ARE hard to understand. On our first date, my wife knew I was the one. She knew I was serious. How? I didn't fart, belch, or scratch myself a single time.

            If that's not a sign of true love, I don't know what is:)

        • Please don't tell FK, my poor head won't take his mighty italian slap of death! :-)

          I had to sit next to my dad at dinner, so if I caused a fight with my sisters or anything, I was in armreach of my dad. You get used to them after a while, so don't worry ;-)

          Seriously, though, as someone else mentioned... a bouque (sp?) of flowers might add the 'this is a date' touch, but its up to you how you want to do it. Maybe, if she percieves it as just 'getting together', you can 'get together' more often, then bring the flowers on a future night. That way its a slower transition, but would make you both more comfortable with the transition?

          I keep adding ? to the end of my advice, because you know her better than any of us (and know yourself better). You do what you think will make the night that much better. Don't be afraid to be a little brave and a little adventurous, but don't go overboard if you find a surplus supply of courage ;-)
    • That was a joke... as denoted by smilie at the end. I'm very careful about taking things one step at a time... C'mon, it took me seven years to ask her out. I think I'm taking it slow enough. :-)

      Yes, it is different for Christians... God told me we would be married, dating is just a formality. (Editor's note: The preceding was a joke, and not to be taken seriously.)

      • Yes, it is different for Christians... God told me we would be married, dating is just a formality.

        Well, I just noticed that your self and Liora tend to be for want of a better term "Marrige Happy".

        • What did you say about me? Are you saying that I equate marriage to happiness? I don't have a boyfriend right now and I don't even want one... I'm perfectly happy right now, thank you. Boys are bad, God is good.... or something like that.

          There is one thing though that you might not realize about my belief system. I don't get to date for the sake of dating. I can go out on dates, sure (Hey, I've got one tonight... well, a sort of date...), but as soon as it becomes clear to me that I would not marry this fellow, it's time to back right out. Why? Because if I realize that, I realize it's going to end, and it's not fair to that person or to me if I let it perpetuate. Plus, it's a lot easier to break up sooner than later. Hence, I guess I can see how you see that, but it's not really all of that. If I don't know if I could marry the guy, or if I am dating someone that looks like all green lights, then I have to (well, need to) take things more one step at a time.

          • Dude, you do NOT want to piss off Liora, trust me. :-)

            I think Liora is right, I don't think it necessarily has anything to do with my belief system. Although if I had a different belief system, I might be after meaningless sex, (or even meaningful sex) ;-) and that would be a reason to continue dating even if I saw I wouldn't marry a girl. But it's like Liora said, if I don't see myself marrying that person, it's better to end it now that let the other person think it is going somewhere.

            As for the initial thought of marriage, think of it as similar to branch prediction in a processor. My brain is running some sort of human behavior scenario all the time. If I meet a girl and there is chemistry there, I go through all the possibilities, friendship, dating, marriage, etc. If I'm at the mall and I see someone make a purchase, I try to analyse the purchase and built a possible history for the person. Hmm... 30ish guy coming out of the toy store with a Barbie doll at 8pm. He's wearing a suit and tie, and he has a wedding ring. He's probably a business man, he's married and has a little girl at home that he doesn't get to see enough, so he's buying her a toy to try to make up for it. 20ish guy coming out of the same toy store with the same Barbie doll. He looks as if he hasn't bathed in months, and he's got this crazy excited look in his eyes. Ok, skip that one. :-)

            My point is, it's not just marriage, and I'm not looking to get married tomorrow. I just plan my life out from then on whenever anything happens that changes what I had previously planned. Many times this will be meeting a new person, or finding out some critical information like the girl I have been dating for over 3 months is a frickin' psychopath. I just run all the scenarios I can think of, and pick the one that I like best. I don't always stick with it, but I MUST at least have SOME idea of my life plans if I want to function.

    • Relax. I'm sure she's well trained in the use of a Beretta .40. Some geeky /. nerd isn't going to be stalking a cop for long.

  • Outstanding, Mr. Lust. This could be a very cool thing for you. We're all very proud.

    Max
    p.s. What happened with the SkiDoo?
  • Let me wish you a good luck, particularly from the married guys. Although I must say that being locked in handcuffs by my wife would be scarier than being locked in handcuffs by 'hottie-cop-girlfriend'; I'm not sure my wife would let me go (and I don't mean that in a good way. I mean that in a 'you-can-starve-to-death-or-gnaw-your-own-arm-off- to-escape' kinda way.)
  • we salute you.

    take it easy, let it be what it is, and enjoy. good work, my man.

    btw, ac/dc references are funny to me even though i don't really listen to them much.
