No Such Thing



Summer's not my season. Bad, bad, bad things happen to me in summer.

Fall, however, is my season. I woke up all week thinking it's fall.

I woke up happy all week.

----------

I've been hanging with these guys Paul and Sheridan a lot lately. Recently, Paul and I were at party with an old friend/legal client of mine and a group of us got talking.

Girl1: What do you mean?
Me: There's no such thing as a line. Look, if you're attracted to me, I could walk up to you, say anything, anything, and you'd respond positively. In college, my friend Crawford would walk up to a girl, go Whoo-Hooo! and ten minutes later they're making out.
Girl2: I disagree, what a guy says matters.
Me: To an extent, yes. But I think it's less about the content and more the conveyance. Say a cute chick walked up to me and started talking to me in French with a wink'n smile; the content, which I wouldn't understand, wouldn't matter to me. I'd just be thinking, Hey...
Girl1: That's cause you're a guy.
Me: No. (sighing) It's cause I know.

When you like someone, they can do no wrong; when you don't, they can do no right.

I completely agree with you, maybe it's because I am such a whore. If I like him he doesn't even have to speak, pretty much what happened with Vlad (the vodka thing, remember, I told you?)
But really, if two people are attracted to one another, conversation is just a nuance.

I love fall, cotton tees, warm cookies, cuddling, can't wait.

Oh my!

I like your comment that conversation is just a nuance. I agree with that completely.

CAN'T WAIT FOR FALL!

I agree with you to a certain extent. There are definitely more than a few things a guy I'm attracted to could say that would make me want to kick his shins and walk away rather than talk with him--even if he did say them with a smile and a wink. I would give examples, but they are really too rude and offensive (and not uncommon).

Well, yes, barring the rude, obnoxious and offensive comments (which is hardly what a sane guy would say to a girl), I don't think that what a guy says matters nearly as much as how he says it.

Thanks! I think like a big smile and wink trumps pretty much anything one says so long as you're not a jerk or an idiot.

I love all four seasons, provided the weather behaves accordingly.

His pick-up line doesn't matter that much (except for the reeeally foul ones). What he says or not will become somewhat more important when I come to deciding whether I like him or not..but this takes longer.

Nope, Fall is my clear favorite. It makes me think of what's ahead, like Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's.

Man, I can't wait!

No Thanksgiving here, but I look forward to the other two as well; especially this year, as it very much looks like I'll be spending my Xmas budget in your city :)

Did I ever mention how much I hate being patient?

Oh my! When?! I was thinking of going to Denmark in early December or early 2008.

Let me know! =)

3rd weekend in December. You'd better be around!

If a woman is attracted to a guy the only thing he can say that would nix the whole thing is if the content somehow triggers her own social defensive mechanisms. I.e. "this would make me look like a slut" or "sleeping with this guy has social consequences," or what have you. So it's less about what the guy says, and more about whether or not what he says triggers their own self-image-defense mechanism.

some women are like that. I don't think I fall into that category though. I like the ones that not only look good, but always have something clever to say.

I'm the one that usually uses the pick up lines and boy do they work!

If you're a hot chick with a smile, you can just say "Cm'ere" and I'd laugh.

I totally agree with you, and it was a good example to use someone speaking in a foreign language. As long as they don't say something I'd find deliberately offensive or off-putting, I'd generally have a conversation with them if I felt impressed by the way they put themselves across.
Have you read The Game by Neil Strauss? This post just reminded me of that book for some odd reason.
I love autumn too, its my favourite season. All the colours are gorgeous, the air feels really fresh, and I like autumn clothes better, they're more cosy.

Thanks! I find that a guy that smiles and is generally not boring does pretty well.

I read parts of the Game - It's more a memoir than anything else. If anything, it made me think that people are just out to have a good time and that's my biggest takeaway from it.

Hola!
