My vacation from the ol [dating site] was pretty short lived. I took my 2 days off and then realized how bored I was at work. I think its gotten to the point where I think I like writing about myself in a vague format where I know that 90% of the people just wont get the joke.
What scares me about this one is that he was actually looking for feedback, but I don't see why he chose me of anyone out there. He went to my page first, I went to his, I clicked off. The first thing that I look at on people's pages is their music section. If they don't have one or its really limited or vague, I usually wont spend much time on their page. I met W. Brimley on a cold winter's night at a show. Along with many other of my friends, we both listen to the same music and its a huge part of our lives. Music isn't essential to a friendship for me, but in the longrun, its bound to get in the way if you don't at least partially agree. Case in point: mrstickystuation. In honor of the Jersey Shore finale last night - I've decided to pay tribute to the one and only 'the Situation'.
[2:31:33 pm]rosalita:umm.. sure?
[2:31:51 pm]mrstickystuation:thank you:)
[2:32:16 pm]rosalita:...was that your question?
[2:34:54 pm]mrstickystuation:According to [dating site] you just checked my profile and since i didnt get any IM from you, i'm assuming that you didnt like either what you read or what you see or both. If it's the way i look then to me it's OK :) cause i cannot change or improve it, if it's something i can improve about me then i'd like to know about it:)) Would you let me know what was the main thing that you didnt like in my profile?
[2:35:41 pm]mrstickystuation:I know it's unusual, but it'd help me to understand. Thank you for your time:)
[2:35:45 pm]rosalita:you went to my page first.. so i guess i could say the same about you, no?
[2:37:16 pm]mrstickystuation:as far as i remember when went o your page there was not that little "talking baloon" next to your screen name, so i couldnt say hi.
[2:38:12 pm]mrstickystuation:i'm sorry if i'm bothering and as i said i really wouldnt like to avoid but if you reply that'd be nice actually:)
[2:39:56 pm]mrstickystuation:i mean "i really would like to avoid to bother you":) sorry
[2:41:52 pm]rosalita:no its ok, im at work.. i was on the phone
[2:42:27 pm]mrstickystuation:thank you for being friedly:)
[2:44:57 pm]rosalita:honestly.. when i go to peoples pages.. before anything i always just read what music they like before anything.. 90% of the time if i can connect with someone on music i can hold a conversation with them for forever
[2:51:33 pm]mrstickystuation:hmm and you saw that there is not music part in my profile so you felt like we cannot be compatible?
[2:51:48 pm]rosalita:and when it comes down to it.. you could have messaged me rather than imed me
[2:52:32 pm]rosalita:its the first thing that i look for in people, so pretty much
[2:53:49 pm]mrstickystuation:what makes massege better than IM? dont you think that being able to talk over here, being interactive is far better than just messaging? Cause you and i for ex are not even friends yet so, what could i have to message you before i know you?
[2:55:47 pm]rosalita:youre getting a little question happy for someone that was offended that i didnt message you first when you could have easily messaged me as a regular message first..
[2:57:00 pm]mrstickystuation:by the i've been keep talking because somehow i feel like you are time to talk and you are willing to. If you wanna stop talking pls let me know we can do it right away cause i've promised in the beginning that i'm gonna ask one simple question:) I dont want you think that i'm abusing your good will.
[2:59:23 pm]mrstickystuation:i meant "you have time to talk" damnnn!!! what's wrong with me:)))
[3:04:47 pm]rosalita:im not sure i can really help you on this one bud.. i already told you why i didnt message you..
[3:08:37 pm]mrstickystuation:thank you very much then:)
[3:08:44 pm]mrstickystuation:have a great day:)
[3:09:21 pm]rosalita:you too man..
So that one went from annoying to at least somewhat normal. I now introduce you to the man that caught me so offguard, that I had to call up Brimley because i couldn't even bring myself to text it to him. Seeing as he gave me his name, Mark, I will use it. He also had my favorite suffix to any username: THE NUMBER. We're only a 54% match, but we've managed to be 39% enemies. The Brimz and I are both vegetarian and when we hang out/talk online daily there's a whole lot of vegetarian cuisine discussion (mostly pizza and burritos). There's a section asking about your favorite food on the [dating site] profile and I have in there that I'm vegetarian. Many of my friends aren't, so I put down that my friends tolerate my eating habits. I don't think that a random message should really hate anything to do with my food choices, but this one thinks differently! I realize that probably was the only thing that he and I had in common, but c'mon dude! I also feel as though English probably wasn't Mark's first language. I have no problem with that, except that you shouldn't be trying to communicate via text if that's the case.
[6:06:36 pm]vegetarianmark81:Hi Just reviewed you profile. I seems we have a few things in common in spite of our low match %. Can we chat for a few?
[6:07:28 pm]rosalita:sure
[6:08:09 pm]vegetarianmark81: I how you are fine now regard that injury
[Editor's Note! I stared at the screen after this one. I literally out loud said "I how are you fine now regard that injury.....?]
[6:08:47 pm]vegetarianmark81:what were you doing if you don't mine me asking?
[6:09:15 pm]rosalita:i was at a show and i got a concussion.. i dont even know what you were trying to say before that..
[6:10:30 pm]vegetarianmark81:Sorry. I wanted to know if all is well not regarding the concussion
[6:11:03 pm]rosalita:yeah, it was a while ago.. im fine... you?
[6:11:20 pm]vegetarianmark81:Ok thanks
[6:11:48 pm]vegetarianmark81:what's your name if you don't mine me asking?
[6:11:57 pm]vegetarianmark81:Mine is Mark
[6:12:07 pm]rosalita:sorry, i dont give it out
[6:12:34 pm]vegetarianmark81:Ok Nickname maybe
[6:13:32 pm]vegetarianmark81:I could just call you beautiful, but you might not deem it appropriate
[Editor's Note! He manages to spell appropriate.... But doesn't know that mine and mind are different words]
[6:13:48 pm]rosalita:yeah no thanks
[6:14:13 pm]vegetarianmark81:Okay..!
[6:13:48 pm]rosalita:yeah no thanks
[6:14:13 pm]vegetarianmark81:Okay..!
[6:14:15 pm]rosalita:you can just call me rosalita, thats fine
[6:15:04 pm]vegetarianmark81:ok rosalita. Have you always been a vegetarian
[6:15:23 pm]rosalita:on and off my whole life
[6:16:04 pm]vegetarianmark81:Ok I see. a "flexitarian"
[6:16:26 pm]rosalita:whatever you want to call it, fine
[6:16:26 pm]vegetarianmark81:That's cool
[6:16:44 pm]vegetarianmark81:...:-) funny
[6:17:59 pm]vegetarianmark81:So initially inspired you to be a sometime be a vegetarian?
[6:18:29 pm]rosalita:do you mean what initially inspired me?
[6:18:45 pm]vegetarianmark81:yes sorry
[6:18:54 pm]rosalita:im sorry, is this all were going to talk about? this isnt really what i set out to have conversations about for times on end..
[6:19:48 pm]vegetarianmark81:Ok what what would you rather take about then rosalita?
[6:19:59 pm]rosalita:you imed me, bro
[6:20:17 pm]vegetarianmark81:Ture
[6:21:04 pm]vegetarianmark81:I can just start asking you all personal questions you know
[6:21:19 pm]rosalita:does it seem like i want to answer personal questions?
[6:21:43 pm]vegetarianmark81:that would just be rude. I just want to get to know you
[6:22:04 pm]vegetarianmark81:No
[6:22:50 pm]vegetarianmark81:The name reject was clear enough
[6:24:05 pm]vegetarianmark81:Rosalita are you still there?
[6:25:32 pm]rosalita:i am, but im sorry.. this conversation isnt working out too well..
[6:26:03 pm]vegetarianmark81:Why not?
[6:27:15 pm]vegetarianmark81:Ok let's talk about something different how about that?
[6:28:00 pm]rosalita:no.... im sorry.. thats not happening.. have a good night.. bye..
I really WAS trying to be nice on this one. I just could NOT do it! I realize a name usually is semi-imperative for a 'normal' conversations, but I've got to be honest - I've definitely talked to people in a public social experiment and never got their name/they never got mine. I'd rather someone use my username as a way to address me than call me 'beautiful'. This one was also foiled from the beginning just based on the fact that he couldn't actually use words to communicate. That was a perfect way to end my work day yesterday.
Enjoy
