For the first meeting. Then slowly go back to yourself after a few dates. Least that is what I do. Just dont lie and tell them things like you drive an SS or a millionare.

 

I was never into 'putting on airs' for anyone... more like 'what you see is what you get'. After all, if you end up dating she's gonna see the 'real you' eventually anyway. Might as well be up-front and let her see what kind of dork she's getting right from the start!

There's an idea. I'll spend a couple grand modding my POS 2.2 and at least I'll have something to talk about...

 

ya just ask WWVD and ull be fine...

off topic i get tired of explaining what my car is...
i say ion redline they are like wtf
i say saturn ion they are like ghey
i say saturn ion redline and I look over and still get wtf but with sleepy eyes
i say saturn ion redline...like a cobalt ss supercharged I get an ooo okay..

 

Lol, I love how no one knows what a redline is. But as soon as I say I drive a cobalt, they ask an SS? I say yeah, then they say, oh those things are supercharged huh?

So the general public know what a cobalt ss is, but no idea wtf an ion redline is.

 

no Mike, I'm not saying pretend you're some kind of Millionare and such, but everyone has an alter-ego. Someone they become either at work, at home, or out with friends. You CAN be both people.

I'm just saying, that you need to cut the negativity crap. Women respond to that and not in the way you wnat them to. Everyone is insecure at times, and it can be VERY intimidating to talk to someone you're attracted to. ( I do this on a weekly basis with the woman I'm pining for right now )
You have got to be relaxed to a point and remember that no matter what they say.... you're not going to most likely ever see them or their friends again. and even if you do, most that reject you don't even remember the next day. As long as you don't get shitty with them afterwards like saying "FU, b$47tch" and stuff like that. THEN THEY REMEMBER

We need to get you and take you out places. No other way, but to follow the lead, and to blaze a few trails of your own.

 

Yeah, you people need to take mike out somewhere and hook him up. If he gets a woman and beomes happy, then he might be happy enough to trade up to a SS/SC.

 

confidence gentlemen, confidence. Brian has awesome confidence redline dan has some pretty good confidence. Mike, be yourself but be confident IN yourself. girls dont like approaching men, they want men to approach them. if you are a cheesy person then be cheesy if youre a down to earth person, be that. honestly.... shaun is as cheesy as they come but i thought it was adorable. never ever think it is you because its always the girl. lol at least in my opinion. if they dont have the same interests as you, you arent going to change them and vica versa. kinda like what dan was sayin with his ex... he loves cars... she hates them, im sure he didnt change the fact that she cant stand them, and she obviously didnt change his interest in them... so there you go. but all in all be CONFIDENT!!!

 

dude....that's awesome, I graduate from there in a week, and that's why i lived in Oakdale for the past 2 years...lol

...and strangly enough........I worked at FedEx on Neville Island as well....lol

 

I knew I should have kept my mouth shut...

It will happen in time, when/if it's meant to. I don't want to become the 'charity case' of the group...

And Wes, honestly I would make the trade if I could do it without taking a huge, merciless beating. But I can't afford to lose my ass again... already lost a good chunk of it on the ZR2.

 

damn u make me blush lol...u coming out to pep boys tonight?...what time is everyone thinking?

 

shortly after nine for me.......hopefully I'll get out around then, I haven't got stuck there past 9:15.....YET, *knock on wood*

 

I assume when Dave is done at work we will head out. I know I am going to be starving when I meet Dan out there. So anyone want to get something to eat? If you guys can hold the hunger we can wait till Dave gets home for that too.

 

lmao...bw3...again...im gonna get one of those clipper magazines so we can find a bunch of places lol

 

I didn't mean BW's. I mean I will go there if thats what everyone else wants, but I am sure there are other places to eat. Me, Dan, Alicia, and Melissa just went there the other day too. So I had my fix, lol. But hey, w/e.

 

Ah, hell.

Look guys/girls, I'm sorry... I've been in a really weird mood for the last few days, just depressed. I'm not 100% sure why, but I'll get over it. I'm trying to 'open up' and get over this ****, it's just going to take a while. Thanks for your advice and offers of help; I'll probably take you up on it eventually.

 

I'm cool with waiting.

Dan, you can come over too if you want. We'll just be working on Wes' LED kit.... provided he gets his car back today.

 

Karla.... WOW... That's the 1st time a woman has said that I have alot of confidence... Thanks. I've been working on it for a while, and finally am at that point.

Wooo hoo a girl noticed... wait... she's got a man.. DAMMMIT!
hehehehehhehee

ANyway, Mike you're NOT beign treated like a charity case. We all have to stick together and help each other. That's why we're here. It's not just about the cars.

Yep.. you can't change a person, no matter how right you are. We are who we are...

The key is finding someone that can at least RESPECT your interests and accept them. They don't have to enjoy them or understand them, as long as they can be supportive of them. NO matter if it's cars, guns, hunting, fishing, embriodery, cooking... whatever. You need to be the same way as well.... relationships are about compromise and equality and respect, and loyalty. Love don't hurt either

 

Ohhh and I am working until 7 and won't be able to attend. Sorry.

See yins Friday maybe

 

Brian's right... my ex didn't care about my interests. She hated cars and didn't want anything to do with them. I don't need a girl that likes cars... but I want a girl that cares about my interests.

Oh and Wes:

It's there waiting for you. Now.... where is your car?

 

STFU about the car, your making me nervous cause they didnt call yet. I am calling and/or going over reguardless at 4. If the car is on the lot I am just going to take it with my spare key.

The sky just turned very dark here so I think we might get a quick down pour. Hopefully it doesn't last or anything. Or atleast passes.

Dave, you cool with getting some food after work or want us to go without you?

 

I'll get some food on my own...don't worry about it....i'll just call you guys when i am done at work

 

WWVD?

He'd bash some heads and then take the car.

Haha... but she made no mention of 2.4 Dan.


Hmm... I should be renamed. George calls me Dano. My friends in high school and college called me Paz (hence the sn). That might get less confusing with RL Dan around now.

 

Or settle it with a race. Loser leaves town.

 

Lol!!

 

Careful what you wish for... Dan goes back to school eventually and I have an interview with Amazon.com tomorrow (they're in Seattle).

Wes... time for a new avatar.
