Which brings me to social skills, or lack thereof. I'll start with my favorite worst pick up lines of the past month:
"You have the cutest bugs bunny overbite."
"How old are you?"
"Are you two best friends? I can tell."
"Is that real leather?"
"You look like the innocent one, your friend is the bad one..."
See what I mean? Boys. But more so I'm concerned with those men who can not, for the life of them, hold conversations or follow through.
For example, the guy who calls me at 7:30 and leaves no message. In reply I text that I'm in a movie and ask "what's up?". He then proceeds to see what my plans are and asks if we can get together. I agree, and when the movie ends I text to let him know I'm done. Twenty minutes later he says he wants to "kick it" and I reply in agreement. Half an hour later I get a message saying "Not sure if anythings fun tonight everybody is dead from new years". And I, clearly taking the lead, say "We don't have to go to a club, we can always just get drinks somewhere". Fifteen minutes later, nothing. So I finish it up by saying "Ok. Nevermind. You can just say no, but I'm pretty sure you were the one who asked me out." Another fifteen minutes and some lame message about getting his car from somewhere comes through and he'll call me in a bit. By this time it's 11:45 and I'm over it. "Sorry, going to bed". Better luck next time kid.
So this leaves me with three questions:
2) Is he technologically inept and can't comprehend leaving voicemails and texting replies?
3) Is he so socially awkward that leaving a voicemail frightens him to the point of indigestion and cold sweats? While texting takes a good 15 minutes to write a rough draft, proof read, correct spelling, and finally send?
If you want me, come and get me. It's easy. Just do it. Period. The end.
Opinions are more than welcome because I'm not used to this bullshit.
Stupid one legged pigeons. they make me sick
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that guys use those lines. Seriously, its embarrassing for all men, especially those who actually can hold a conversation.
ReplyDeleteYou should read "the game" by neil Strauss. I think all of those lines were taken from that book. Sad sad dating culture we live in.
