Pfffffft. Nonsense. I don't do the whole dating thing either, but am neither jaded nor single.

Give it ten years.

[cycoris]

Give it ten years.

For which?

[Coidzor]

Pfffffft. Nonsense. I don't do the whole dating thing either, but am neither jaded nor single.

So you're in an arranged marriage in the "engaged" period?

[Assassin89]

I have never gone on a date at any time in my life. In fact, I'm single and not that interested in pursuing a relationship.

[cycoris]

So you're in an arranged marriage in the "engaged" period?

*giggle*

...no. I'm in a (kinda maybe) normal relationship, just never been on a date with him, nor plan/want to.

EDIT: Unless you count watching Firefly/Serenity at his house as a date.

[Recaiden]

...no. I'm in a (kinda maybe) normal relationship, just never been on a date with him, nor plan/want to.

That's normal? For a friendship I would think, but not a boyfriend.

[cycoris]

That's normal? For a friendship I would think, but not a boyfriend.

It's normal for us!

And... in our situation, dating each other serves no purpose whatsoever and would probably be detrimental to our relationship.

But we don't have to call it a 'boyfriend/girlfriend' relationship, in fact we often don't ourselves. It's more like...friends with mutually acknowledged deeper feelings.

[Sneak]

I've never been on a date, either. Never asked anyone. I have been asked out myself a couple of times, though.

I don't really care one way or another about dating, personally. It's fine by me, but I don't see myself asking anyone out in the near future.

@The rap discussion. I think most rap is okay. I don't mind it. It's just not something I really listen to. The only exceptions to that would be A Tribe Called Quest, Flobots, The Roots, occasionally the Chemical Brothers (when they have a guest vocalist who's a rapper), and Michael Franti (he sometimes raps).

RHPC kind of does the whole "white boy rap" thing at times, if that counts.

Also, Stephen Colbert. His rap battle was hilarious.

I want a pin-stripe suit hoodie.

[Bonecrusher Doc]

Sorry to interrupt the current randomness, but this I have an important announcement that is too brief to get its own thread I think.

Tomorrow is National High Five Day! Give/offer high fives to everyone, including perfect strangers!

We now return you to your regular scheduled random banter.

National?

Does that mean that us non-American forumites can't participate?

*high fives anyhow*

[Bonecrusher Doc]

*high fives anyhow*

This is exactly what the spirit of the day is about. And the day shall henceforth be known as World High Five Day, by decree of the GITP community.

Ah to be young and blissfully unaware/immune....

He's a keeper.

I high-fived my monitor, and now it's all dark-y.

This...is a situation I have never seen. And don't quite understand yet. What keeps it in its current state? Fear? Happiness? Logic? Laziness? Other people?

My situation is the same as Sneak's.

[cycoris]

He's a keeper.

I agree.

This...is a situation I have never seen. And don't quite understand yet. What keeps it in its current state? Fear? Happiness? Logic? Laziness? Other people?

Um...We just think that dating isn't a good way to get to know each other and therefore don't do it. What keeps it in its current state? Haven't really thought about it, but...happiness, contentment, love, logic and a determination to have what we see as a healthy relationship.

...we're weird.

[Jack Squat]

I don't know what most people consider dates, but I haven't "been out" with my girlfriend in awhile (not counting when school is in session).

We hang out pretty often, but don't necessarily do the whole "dinner and a movie" thing.

[Rutskarn]

I need to find the person who was responsible for the quality control of a certain cable box, used by a certain person to host a server which a certain other person hosts his site on.

I need this person's identity, because I need him for an experiment. Is it technically possible to hate a person to death?

Why is this sort of experiment feasible, you ask?

Well, look here.

"But Rutskarn," you ask, nonplussed, "I can't see anything on that link. It's telling me there's a server error."

Spoiler

Show

EXACTLY.

[Coidzor]

Then what makes you together if you don't act or think or feel or say that you're "together" more often than not?

What do you mean by "not dating" in the first place? Do you mean not actively looking for a mate? Do you mean not going out on dates with anyone who you aren't in a relationship with? Do you mean that you simply despise romantic relationshipsbut crave some kind of storgic thing?

You don't understand how doing things and spending time together can be a bonding experience?

Shows up fine for me.

[Sneak]

Can I ask for your definition of "date" and "boyfriend," Cycoris?

EDIT: Yep, it's fine for me too, ole Rutsy ole pal.

[Coplantor]

No chocolate hammer makes jack Coplantor a dull boy.

Well, never had a date, never been with a girl either, I'm quite pathetic in this matters. Once asked a girl out, she said, quite politely, no. Didnt matter anyway, since she was'nt really my type, I actually asked her out because some people told me that she liked me.

Real problem is, I cannot find someone that I really like, someone I can talk to at least.

[Reinholdt]

Ack. I finally show my face here again and the place turns into the Relationship thread. Meep.

And yeah. No dates for Reinholdt ever.

[Coplantor]

OK, let's change to a happier topic...

hallucinations? Ever had one? I did.

[Sneak]

What was yours, then?

No real hallucinations from me. That I can remember. Unless you count having seizures and being really out of it as having hallucinations.

I don't really remember much of that, either, though.

[Reinholdt]

OK, let's change to a happier topic...

hallucinations? Ever had one? I did.

Well that simply won't suffice.
You have to tell us what the hallucination was.

[Rutskarn]

Well, I'll be damned. The site fixed itself as soon as I'd finished my mega-rant.

And HEY! Whaddya KNOW! As soon as it made me look well and truly foolish, IT TAKES ANOTHER GODDAMN DIVE.

You know, I really stopped needing evidence that technology was out to screw me over years ago.

What she's saying is that because they're only 15 and 16, it's easier to try to just be friends because they want it to last and, when you're 15, playing the dating game only muddies the water. Also, due to religious reasons, a physical relationship is not an option.

That and she lives in China and he is in the States (even though that's changing soon).

The point is, they want to spend time together as friends.

(Sorry I'm speaking for you, Tweety)

Was it a date?

Can I ask for your definition of "date" and "boyfriend," Cycoris?

Hm...

Date: Two people going and doing something fun alone. Usually involves making out.

Boyfriend: The person who you date exclusively.

The reasons we don't date are as follows (at least these are the ones that he and I talked about when we agreed not to date):

1. It's not a good way to get to know someone.
2. It generally leads to making out, which we want to avoid for religious reasons. Enough said.

But we're 'together' in the way we treat each other and the way we feel about each other.

By 'not dating' I mean that we don't go to dinner and then watch a movie or things like that. We spend lots of time together*, just in more real of a setting.

*Time together may include watching his younger brother, ganging up on DeeRee, stealing cookie dough from her and watching Firefly.

What DeeRee said. She's better at Dvorak than I am right now.

[Coplantor]

Was it a date?

Ooo... Touché.

Two hallucinations I can remember right now, the wierd and the awesome.

The wierd was the last one I can remember, I was in class, I was sleepy... The classroom had about 15 tables with two chairs each, I was sitting alone but for a moment, I could swear I saw a girl, dressing in white, yelling things at me right next to me.

The awesome one, I was in my room, this time I was'nt sleepy but I had a terrible head ache... So, I go to my bead, look up, and there, on a corner of the roof, I saw some kind of lovecraftean beign, it was black and for moments a little blue-ish, it was like a spider but made of tentacles, hanging from the roof, it changed it's shape constatly and as I moved my head to have a better look, it slowly loose it's third dimention, became flat and at some moment, while looking at it from the side it dissapeared.

It was, needless to say, awesome. Although I'm not lookin forward to repeat the experience.
