Logical donkey - 2 girls at once.

[Cheapjack]

Which way do I go?

I've had tea, twice, with a girl. She says she's interested in a date. We haven't exchanged phone no's yet. She's got a 14 year old kid.

Thing is, she wants to stay in the area, and thinks I'm wrong to want to leave it. We can talk, easily, and I didn't even drop the cups, when I walked back to the seat. My writing ambitions do not interest her at all, and she is most offputting, when I talk about them and humours me.

There's another girl. A passing look at her email screen tells me she hates it here. She's about fifteen years younger,and doesn't have a kid. She's nodded at me three times, and smiled, promptingly. She has lovely eyes. But, she has a slightly forceful personality, and when I turned away shyly, she harumphed. I'm picking up vibes that tell me she's interested.

Do I put one on hold? What if the other one leaves the area? What if I lose both?

 

[Robert Maxwell]

They both sound insane and terrible for you.

 

[iguana_tonante]

Or the other way around.

 

[RoJoHen]

Yeah, nothing about these descriptions makes me think these girls actually like you.

 

[Cheapjack]

Well, thank you.

One could give me a link to my hometown, if she ever let me leave it. The other I could empathise with and seems ambitious and far less clinging.

Two cups of tea is a good thing, though.

If I do get anywhere, I will tell you how good it is and you can all writhe in jealousy.

 

[RoJoHen]

The first girl seems nice, but the way you describe her makes it seem like she isn't interested in anything you're doing. Maybe you two could talk, but I doubt it would go anywhere.

The second girl just seems like a bitch.

 

[Guartho]

Seems a little early to be talking about getting with both of them at once.

 

[Cheapjack]

No, one would do. I could handle two, but it's a difficult thing to do and not an advisable thing to suggest, for a first girlfriend, I would guess.

I like bossy women, though, sometimes. As long as they think something of you and don't treat you like a dog.

Thanks, anyway.

 

[TheBrew]

I say hurl. If you blow chunks and she comes back, she's yours. If you spew and she bolts, then it was never meant to be.

 

[Saga]

my advice to you is to start drinking heavily.

 

[Mr Awe]

Neither sound right for you. Move on.

[Cheapjack]

Actually, i can't tell if the 2nd one actually has a slightly forceful personality, she's just given me a strong look and smile, three times. That might be good.

 

[RoJoHen]

I smile at people I don't like all the time. It's called being polite.

 

[Cheapjack]

Do you harrumph, when they look away shyly? Do you turn and look at them, before you walk out? Do you walk straight towards them, even if they only looked at you, once?

I'm going to give her a go.

 

[RoJoHen]

I don't harrumph.

 

[Cheapjack]

She won't be.

 

[scotpens]

Seems a little early to be talking about getting with both of them at once.

That was my first thought when I read the thread title. Something along the lines of a letter to Penthouse magazine.

In any case, I'd steer clear of any woman who has a kid, let alone a 14-year-old adolescent. That's just begging for trouble.

 

[Shatnertage]

This thread isn't nearly as awful as I thought it would be when I saw the title. Thank God for small miracles.

Walking towards someone is not really a sign that they're interested in you--just that you happen to be in between where they are and where they want to go. And why are you looking at other people's "email screens?"

From your very superficial description, this doesn't sound promising at all. Trying to scheme your way around both of them at this early stage makes it seem like you're not acting in good faith.

And I don't think anyone in my time zone, and possibly on my continent, harrumphs.

 

[McCoy]

Also, what's wrong with a "slightly forceful personality"? Do you want a woman you can dominate? "Slightly forceful" doesn't indicate she would dominate you, just that she wants to be considered an equal.

 

[kes7]

So -- basically you have one female acquaintance and one random chick in somewhat close proximity whose email you spied on when she was reading it near you?

Just looking for clarification here, because that's what I'm pretty sure I just read.
