"We all like having our insecure parts teased." Where did you get that idea? Good lord.

The phrase "casual mania" made my otherwise forgettable night. I only read Date Machine for your posts-- they're so good.

toluca: well I haven't even lived here a year yet so I probably wouldn't qualify as an official san franciscaner. It can definitely piss people off if you get too comfy with teasing or needling early on. It's a bad habit I have, though wanting to is a sure sign that I like someone...

And for what it's worth, I agree with the insight that friendly teasing about something a person is self-conscious about breeds intimacy. However, you may need to get to know a person a little for that first too, or it may become too risky, I dunno...

Okay, I'm again totally fascinated by your thought process on this entry, in not a totally good, but definitely not a bad way. There's something about San Franciscaners, I think...

what you got against teenage boys in drag?

I went on this date before my decision to take that break...

waitmexico: Neither of those preclude physical attraction in my book. Maybe they sound pejorative, but to me they're just descriptors.

Forgive me - I didn't get the attraction from the reference to her looking like a teenage boy in drag and the fact that you knew right away you didn't have a connection.

"Watching M squirm, I realized I was being too nice to her." Cruel. I thought you were taking a break from dating?

waitmexico: I kissed her because I was physically attracted to her. What other message does a kiss on the first date send? And she kissed me right back. And she hasn't called me just as much as I haven't called her. Seems like we're in mutual agreement.

ahg: I said we were a bad match, I didn't say I didn't "like" her. It would be pretty hard to lean in for a kiss if I was nailed to a cross, wouldn't it?

Why do you keep kissing girls you're not interested enough in to see them again? Perhaps you are dating in a universe where that doesn't send the wrong message but to me that indicates enough interest that a girl would be disappointed later.

Zeit - are you busy today? I think Amboabe needs a cartoon and I don't have time to draw it. It would go like this:

Amb leans in for a kiss with a girl he doesn't actually like and a thought bubble goes up with a picture of him hanging on a cross being flaggellated.

In real life, he could print out the cartoon as a flyer and hand it to his date with the words "here's how it's going to go down".

Amboabe - mmwwaaahhhhh! x
