if there's a girl you see around the neighborhood and sometimes talk with, and you get along with her pretty well, and you know she has a boyfriend but notice that when she's talking to you, as opposed to other people, she never seems to actually refer to him as "my boyfriend" but only as "the guy I'm dating now" and similar, plus she never seems to actually be out with this alleged boyfriend, is that a sign that maybe there's hope? :graspingatstraws :foreveralone

Himu · « **Reply #8463 on:** July 06, 2011, 09:19:47 PM »

Ask her how her relationship is and point this out to her. Present yourself as interested.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #8464 on:** July 06, 2011, 09:21:56 PM »

I think it means you are in the protential boyfriend queue. The problem being you can only look at the first member (her current), so you have no idea of your place in the queue.

Bebpo · « **Reply #8465 on:** July 06, 2011, 09:39:34 PM »

Yeah, don't be too aggressive on the boyfriend stealing. That makes you look desperate. Just casually present yourself as interested in her social situation and keep in touch and see what happens.

one up her by marrying another woman and saying "the lady I'm married to now"

pettiness is just one o, c, another c, n, f, and d away from confidence

that sounds very clever, but afaict doesn't make any sense at all.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #8468 on:** July 06, 2011, 10:34:13 PM »

Soo the cousin I mentioned is apparently getting married in a couple months, two months after divorcing her previous husband. He called me earlier today to give me the news, although it seemed more like he was fishing for info on the guy; I've never met him so I didn't have much of anything to say.

About an hour later my cousin calls and says she's bringing her fiance to my grandma's birthday party on saturday, and I shit you not said "you're going to need to bring us a wedding gift, understand?" What do you say in that type of situation? There's no way I'm buying her anything, I but I couldn't say that so I just told her I had another call on the line, and I'd call her back lol

Wedding gifts go out at WEDDINGS, right?

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #8469 on:** July 06, 2011, 10:44:04 PM »

As parts of Married-Bore: You give gifts at engagement parties, wedding showers AND at weddings.

HOWEVER! The bride and groom never ask for gifts directly. NEVER. It's always done through relatives that throw parties. You can register for gifts, BUT YOU NEVER IN A MILLION FUCKING YEARS TELL ANYONE THIS DIRECTLY OR EVEN PUT IT IN THE INVITATIONS.

Call her back and tell her unless she's admitting to being a crazy psycho bitch money grubbing bridezilla, wedding etiquette states that the bride NEVER asks for gifts or even says where they're registered in any form of invitation, either via email, letter or phone. It makes her look like a tacky tacky bitch.

But you already know that she'z a tacky bitch, right? I mean, getting divorced and married immediately?

Yeah, I'd still call her.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #8470 on:** July 06, 2011, 10:49:27 PM »

Tell her you are a man of tradition and believe in the till-death rule and hence you can only participate in 1 wedding gift per bride. Assuming you gave her something last time.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #8471 on:** July 06, 2011, 10:51:12 PM »

She probably got a shit load of stuff the last wedding... which was what, last year?

She don't need shit.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #8472 on:** July 06, 2011, 10:53:08 PM »

Or better yet, tell her you are saving up for something good for her third wedding.

T234 · « **Reply #8473 on:** July 06, 2011, 10:59:38 PM »

The last person who called demanding a gift ended up with a turd in their glovebox.

So she broke up with her boyfriend, she wants you to come join her, you have hope she's interested anddddddd...you show no interest when she DOES break up with her boyfriend.

Then I'm taking her to the airport Sunday morning so she can go back to Boston for another week of work.

She got a big promotion, so she has to be out in Boston for most of July working with her east coast counterpart at corporate headquarters. At least they pay for her to come home on weekends to see her husband.

I just talk to who I want. shit will never get serious with any of them anyway, because I have NFI how to do this relationship stuff, and not sure if i even want that tbh. but we had enjoyable conversation.

she: It's going to be so cool, you guys will love him
me: cool
she: so what's your gift going to be?
me: I read the bride/groom aren't supposed to ask for gifts heh
she: well I'm not any bride
me: ah, well I haven't decided yet, don't worry

So I've noticed on Craigslist a lot of pianos are offered by people who don't want to put the energy into moving them so I've been looking. Someone posted that they're putting a piano out for pickup at 7am tomorrow morning. I'm thinking about driving my ass there and being there by 5:30 or 6 to pick that fucker up. But I'm pretty sure someone else has the same idea. Think it's worth it??

This is the piano (not the exact same one but the same year and make):

I'm taking people to help me move it. It say it works and just needs a small tuneup. I don't care. I was looking at one that needed to be restored the other day and even that would be cool. It sounds like a fun project, especially when it's free.

They tried selling it a few weeks ago apparently and now they're putting it out. I found the old ad. Think it'd be bad form to call the number left on the old ad and asking if I can just pick it up tonight?

Mupepe · « **Reply #8519 on:** July 08, 2011, 03:17:46 PM »

I already know how to play though I haven't done so in years. I've just been looking casually and this will kick my ass back into playing not to mention looking nice in my house.
