I have four months.

Hire a call girl

do call girls generally appreciate classical music though? and programming language theory?

For a price, sure. This could be an interesting thread: post a CL ad asking for a good looking lady to attend said conferences with you, offer some outrageous sum of money, and start taking applications. Pics included

Post a weekly ad on Craigslist.

i don't care what she looks like, i just wish i had a relationship with someone so we could have a romantic getaway, instead of the lonely getaway that i will in fact end up having

You could have me but I can't promise "no homo" :-*

Man, a trip to Scotland out of the blue would totally lock it down if played correctly..

NUMBER ONE: Stop being a fucking bitch and going, "Oh, I could only like a girl who is into Hungarian chamber music". Fuck you. It's fun to be with other people because they're different. My wife hates metal and video games- I love both of those things. But there are 10 million reasons why we get along. Using this "WELL THAT PRETTY GIRL DOESN"T LIKE HEGEL SO WE COULD NEVER BE HAPPY" is just a bitch ass little excuse. Keep that shit up and you won't have a girl to take to fuckin' Steak 'n Shake, let alone Scotland.

uh lost track of context much? if I'm looking for a date to a specific event, it would make sense to my hypothetical date to be herself interested in the subject of the event, no? why would I want to drag her somewhere she'd be bored?
the whole thing is a fantasy anyway -- it will be tough enough to cover a two week int'l vacation for myself, never mind throwing in someone else's expenses (or expecting them to pay themselves when they probably wouldn't care as much as I do)

Everyone appreciates sight seeing of a foreign country. It's not like you'd drag her into the conferences with you.
-
It's an international music and performing arts festival. The ICFP is my thing, sure.
Another important difference is that video games and metal are dumb, so of course it's no big deal if someone doesn't like them. I mean, I like video games too, but I recognize that they're dumb.
-
My wife hates video games
Stopped reading here

Also, I wouldn't take advice from GilloD. He may have his "girl of his dreams" but he still gets stepped on like the ant he is at work and at home by his scottish roommates. The wife is his crutch.

Gillo layin' the smackdown!
Just post an ad on CL or something, lol.
-
that's ... really not a smackdown, guys. ::)
-
Don't forget to pack condoms.
-
How about you set your sights a little lower and just aim for 'friend to take to Scotland'
-
I'm still tentatively set to go to Ireland with a ladyfriend in late May.
-
I want a girlfriend FROM Scotland
:heartbeat :heartbeat
-
Don't forget to pack condoms.
Why?
-
Before I clicked the thread, I called the first link. Never would have gotten the second one.
-

Why?
I was replying to Green Shinobi, who unsuccessfully attempted to use the pull-out method leading to a dead fetus and a dead bunny.
-
Trivia: Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie got their first big break at the Edinburgh Festival.
I'm mostly sure this is a true fact.
-
I just want a GF :'(
-
Demi, I hate videogames too (I own a Wii and that's it)... does this mean we can never be together?
:gloomy
-
So get one. Whats the problem here? Ugly? Bad conversationalist? Scared?
I have alot of fun flirting at work and alot of the girls get all giggly over the corniest things I say. If I had the abilities to hold a conversation past two minutes before losing interest I'd daresay its incredibly easy to hook up with someone (although the pretty ones usually have guys already). Too many people treat it like a game but I find being forward gets great results. Like, you can even detail your insecurities in a lighthearted manner and they think its adorable.

TWO: Stop saying "oh wah wah i dont have no money i cant go on a trip". Sell your shit. Start eating ramen. You either want it and you get it and you don't and you won't. It's fine either way, but it's totally doable UNLESS you say "I can't do it".
-
I'll be your girlfriend. :-*

Probably not.

At this point I'd be happy with a second date with a girl :(

did I say I can't? I said it would be difficult. Comprehension is fundamental!

A FANTASY.
For real, you just complain a lot. I just think if you showed some initiative, things would get a lot better for you. Stop being a grumblebunny.
-
The fantasy remark referred to the romantic angle. While it's true that I've sometimes had problems stemming from lack of initiative, I did attend last year's ICFP in Victoria. The Edinburgh events are likely to cost at least twice as much, though, so money is a real concern. I don't think it's a matter of initiative, just a genuinely difficult decision that shouldn't be made lightly. You're a bit quick to lay your prefab generic lectures on people.

Because your entire forum persona is LIFE IS SO HARD AND I AM INCAPABLE.

Maybe. I tend to post when I'm feeling hopeless, so you might be getting a skewed perspective.

sometimes i want a girlfriend
then soemtimes i realize i really don't
but other times i do.

you should decide you do and go talk to that girl on the metro.

I'm not trying to be mean. I just want you to be happier.
-
well, thanks.
-
in this particular case I don't think I was in an especially depressed or whiny mood when I posted this, but sorry if it came out that way.
i have been depressed and whiny lately in general, because i've been sick.
-
I bet that is a super flattering picture.

It would be a pretty short conversation after she suggested they meet up for drinks and fistful started crying.
-
Well its so overexposed thanks to flash you dont see her skin.
but remember:
beggars can't be choosers.
I'd do her.

from kosma's linked article
"If she is really looking for her life partner then I would advise her to keep in mind that women fall in love with their ears and men with their eyes. So if a guy sleeps with her the first night, then he probably won't marry her," Guzy said.
when i fall in love with ears/eyes i generally just extract the organ in question and don't bother with the rest of the girl.
I stumbled upon this thread on an unrelated search for "Hungarian". I actually have no memory of posting the above, but I like it. Would post again.

For once, you seem to be right:

-
She actually looks alright to me, I'm not terribly picky about appearance in general. I wouldn't want a woman who's crazy about marriage, though. Even if I wanted to get married.
-
yikes, angles

She's not bad, but those boobs are sinking like lead weights.

Oh shut up.

Ha you changed your post!

Yeah, I'm in agreement: if the scotland trip pull works right, you could get a steady girlfriend.

nothing has changed.
edit: math fail

fistful is posting from the future :o
-
let's be honest, it'll still be true next year as well.
-
I don't post about it much anymore, but I guess my dating/love life has gotten something of a sidegrade since then. It is equally pathetic but in a somewhat different way.
-
Can't say I went for the same reasons as you, recursive, but my trip to Edinburgh during the Festival Fringe a couple of years back was the best holiday I've ever had. Maybe you'll get lucky and find a like-minded girl whilst you're there.
Dammit, that was quite a bump. Well, hope you had fun back then.

:lol poor gillod

Ill come to Scotland with you.

let this stand as a lesson for all the aspiring lovers out there: no matter how many superficial affinities you've marshaled to wish them away, it's very difficult to overcome deep underlying differences in your taste for metal and video games.
-
I even know Edinburgh so I could show you around.

fuckin thread bumps :(

Fucking bump. GilloD's post raised a brow and I was happy for a second :'(
Wait so did his marriage not work out or something? Because that's not really funny if that's what's going on here, y'all fucked up
Nobody said a fucking offensive thing you oversensitive clit! :maf
