The Night Crew

Oh good grief!
All of you go out this evening. Have a couple of beers. Eat something delicious that's bad for you. Go to a singalong Mama Mia. Get motorcycle lessons. Join an art class. Go to line dancing. Go to a sporting event and shout yourselves hoarse. Go ice skating. Anything.
I already did several of those last night (went out, had some beers, ate food).
The rest (mostly the Mama Mia thing) sound like no fun.
However, this is the first Friday night I have had off in MONTHS, so I might just go nuts.
Can't. Got my Tesco's delivery coming.
With who ?
I'm overweight enough.
Who do you think I am ? Barrowman ?
I did enough of that at school to know I suck at it.
I already did that on Monday. (Okay, it's not strictly sport but I did the shouting myself hoarse part when the Undertaker arrived)
Not with my knees.
Tonight's the first night this week I haven't had something to do and I've got a stack of games that need playing. Yes, staying in on a Friday playing video games might be sad but there are plenty of people like me - otherwise they wouldn't release them on Fridays.
No girlfriends ever in 25 years of life.
Beat that!
...GWR doesn't read this thread, right?
Not many proper dates in my life either. Never had a boyfriend I loved. Never longer than 10 days. Not many in total. And I'm 33. But the online dating service I subscribed to seems to work. One date, one winner - I hope. We'll see. One step at a time.
I even managed to circumvent the paying system. (When you don't pay, you're only allowed to send or see one message both ways and you can't see people's pictures, but that's what anonymous e-mail accounts are made for!) Gotta be forward and make contact. It's easy in anonymity.
I needed this because I won't take a step outside! And in a dating service, everybody's looking for company.
It also gives you a chance to get the basics out of the way before meeting in person, thus removing some of the stress and confirming you're not wasting your time.
It wasn't prescriptive, you know. All I'm saying is doing something outside your dwelling place beats sitting weeping into your keyboard.

Possibly a misconception about me is that I'm out there looking and continually being knocked back. I'm not looking at all. I get lonely sometimes but I can't see sufficient benefit in being in a relationship. I would say no in the unlikely situation that someone asked me out.
I've had what you'd call romantic feelings for one woman. That was years ago and she had a boyfriend at the time. (In fact, the first full sentence she ever said to me included the word "boyfriend" which kind of sent a message)
Perhaps it's because I'm always flirting with tsq. Well, not so much now the accursed Philo stuck his oar in. (/angrily waves fist in the general direction of Canada
)
Probably does. Except I wasn't weeping, I was finishing off my career on Guitar Hero World Tour.
I get it. I know your type. Self-sufficient. I was you, until recently.
I just decided to try something else.
I find myself claiming I need to be pulled out of my isolation. Almost presenting it like a bad thing. But it's not. If we're not unhappy about it, there's nothing wrong with being lonesome and isolated. I should stop apologizing for my past - and present - isolation. (Feeling a bit embarrassed when I admit it to people. Like I'm a misfit who can't have friends.)
The problem might be when I find myself among a random assortment of people I don't always know the rules (and I don't always know how to jump in). We can't always be in contact with just other loners such as us. (Maybe I'm wrong to stretch it from your love life to your social life, Hermiod. Sorry if I got you wrong.)
People with active social lives think there's something wrong or sad about loners. Well that's sad. What I find a boring waste of time is a good half of the non-family parties I've ever been to. I mean, visiting a friend is good. But crowds...
And for what it's worth, I'm sorry Philo cramped your style. I had no idea.
Good for you.
No, that's a reasonable assessment. No reason to apologise. I've had very few friends in my life.
My sister is quite the socialite. It's a bit of a bone of contention between me and her that because she has a lot of friends she tends to adopt a smug, superior attitude.
The fact that she can't get through three sentences without mentioning Facebook says something about her, I'm sure.
I was only kidding about Philo....
....or was I ?
Well if you don't like him, I'll take him.
Well if you don't like him, I'll take him.
Please do! Take him! Take him far away! Preferably far away from me and tsq!
Well if you don't like him, I'll take him.

Oh i can do that.
I got my ACME capture kit.
Well if you don't like him, I'll take him.

Oh i can do that.
It's settled then. Thanks!!!
Rum and lots of it!
Well it's not night. You should have taken DayQuil.
Meh, I can chug an entire bottle of NyQuil (and I have) without anything happening. I've always been immune to its effects.
