Re: Whatever, Let's Have A Goddamn Blog Thread, But Try And Keep It Reasonable, pt B

I've usually dated people who were friends first, at some level, and it's worked out well for me. I've only had a few relationships but they've all been serious and mostly fairly healthy.
I will admit I'm not on great terms with one or two of the people I've dated, but that had more to do with how the relationship ended then with how it began. And some of them I am still on good terms with.
Sixleaf:
This is my first post in the thread of blogs. I re-discovered these forums the other day.
I have tried this "dating around" thing and I am not so much enjoying it. It is like a job, where you have to deal with people and make a good impression and pretend like you're having a good time when you're not and that you're not having too good of a time when you are.
But it is better than the alternative of arranged marriages. I'm not sure I'd go for the sort of person my parents would be likely to pick out.
Dazed:
I agree with a lot of that ^

I know. What I'm saying is that nothing that started from casual dating has ever stuck for me.

Dating- I have the unfortunate habit of getting the attention of females that are already in relationships with my friends. I was told by a female friend once that it was because I probably act more relaxed and myself around girls who I perceived as not being on the market. Even thought I did not pursue any of these girls (since mostly I was oblivious they were attracted to me) I suppose I did cause some breakups and resentment from some of my friends.
So yeah. I would probably not want to waste a good friendship for a date or to get laid. I suppose if you are really into someone who is your friend than chemistry will eventually win out, but to rush it because you "think" it might work out is a waste.
Blog-
Well work at the library has been a bit stressful as of late. Not too bad though.
Honestly though the drunks in this area are very nice.
I was called downstairs because a man had fell down. After I got there and asked if he was alright he told me to call the police because he was drunk. Due to his advanced state I might have done it anyways.
So I called the police and followed him to the front door. The policeman who showed up seemed to know the guy.
The intoxicated man said that I "was a good guy" and left with the cop.
All in all it was a very polite case of public drunkenness.
Random -
What is it with young rural white dudes acting all urban in their speech and attitude? I am 27, I thought we peaked on this during the late 80s early 90s. This makes little sense to me. I could understand it when I lived in semi-urban areas. But my current town is a glorified suburban area/college town. I dunno. It seemed very obvious to me when all the college kids left for winter break that many younger kids (and older "townies" nearer to my age) act like this for some reason.

I get the impression that you're doing it way wrong. Why in the hell would you pretend to enjoy yourself when you're not and pretend you're not enjoying yourself when you are? That just sounds entirely counter productive to me.
