I guess I need to take the course entitled, "Signs He's a Jerk 101" cuz I'm not very good at all this. But I'll make my admission: a guy introduced himself to me at a recent function I attended. Later on at dinner he walked over and passed me a note with his phone number and email on the napkin. At first I thought this sort of approach was only done by sleazebags. But it was a very polite note, so I didn't trash it right away.

In fact I later called the number and I'm very impressed with what I know about him so far. We have talked a few times since then, each for a pretty good amount of time. So do you think this was a bad move?

Perhaps I should have started this thread with "Dear Abby,"?

Strange one! It does seem a bit sleazy to approach someone you haven't even talked to... I wonder why he didn't just say "hi" and introduce himself.

Maybe he's very shy?

why a bad thing? maybe he was just too shy to hit on you, and only had the nerve to give you his details.

if you enjoy the chats with him, what's bad about that?

If he's sweet and U like him so far, don't even think about what his introduction ment!
Just take him, see what he's really like. And in the end, I don't think it'll be such a problem for u.

But I would def. say he's either very shy or watched too much old, romantic movies. :lol.

Yeah. I've known this to happen before.

It is a bad thing if a guy passes you a picture of his genitals... the note is okay.

Ian: He did approach me prior to this, telling me his name, asking a few things about me, etc. So he did mak the attempt.

His excuse is that the first time I didn't seem too responsive and he didn't want to make an ass out of himself again so he passed me the note.

He's kind of odd. He takes his camera everywhere he goes in case he sees something he wants to take a picture of. He enjoys reading Noam Chomsky and working on his 200 page thesis on MEMS (don't ask.) He's 27 and never married. I guess I'm just kind of worried he's too good 2 b true.

Or simply just passes you his genitals. Then you've really got something to worry about.

Cloudbuster said:

Right... you don't want some guy coming up to your table with his cock and nuts on a platter. That would be a bad thing.

IceNine said:

What the heck!

Nep2nes said:

Ah he sounds okay then. Maybe he didn't want to put you in an awkward position by asking you if you weren't interested. It makes him a coward, but not a sleazebag

As for the camera thing... my mate Juan does the same thing. It's not that weird!

Anyway sounds like a nice enough chap.

IceNine said:

But if he did that, at least you'd know up front exactly what you were getting.

if you don't like him, and he's not Jewish, tell him "sorry, I only do kosher"

minneapolisgenius said:

Good point and well presented.

IceNine said:

Bloody hell I can't believe that Gooey isn't here to pick up on that one

Now I'm imagining his genitals...please stop.

minneapolisgenius said:

That is a fine point... but what if he is a "grower" and not a "shower?"

IceNine said:

What would he be growing, hydrangea?

Nep2nes said:

Well... he could be growing weed or something, but I learned the "grower" vs. "shower" term on this very site... it refers to the appearance of a man's member in a flaccid state.

Grower = looks smaller when flaccid but grows quite a lot when blood-engorged.

Shower = looks larger when flaccid but doesn't grow much when blood-engorged.

*the things you learn on the internet*

:O

IceNine said:

Thanks...we're meeting for lunch today and all I'm going to be thinking about is this damn grower-shower thing.

IceNine said:

Yes, that is very important. You don't want to get the wrong impression just because he put his genitals on a silver platter, which probably made him cold and shrink his popsicle too much.

Nep2nes said:

Communication is the key... just ask him.

:LOL:

So what was that u were saying about Noam Chomsky? By the way, when u get an erection, do your genitals become exceedingly large or do they only increase a little?

IceNine said:

He would be required to show the end result of course, otherwise you could be turning down someone based on pre-growth size.

You are on the right track... here is a conversational example:

Waiter: Have you guys decided on your order?

Nep2nes: Why, yes... I will have the salad and an iced tea.

Napkin Guy: I believe I will have the rack of horse and a dogburger with a Diet Coke, please.

Waiter: Excellent selections... I will bring your orders out right away.

Napkin Guy: Man, I can hardly wait for that rack of horse!

Nep2nes: That is certainly an exotic dish...

Napkin Guy: Yeah, this is one of the few places you can get it... most places don't serve fresh horse and you have to settle for frozen. It's just not the same.

Nep2nes: Is that so? I did not know that... so, what does horse taste like?

Napkin Guy: It is hard to describe, but it tastes somewhat like penguin.

Nep2nes: Hmmm... what does your flaccid penis look like? Is it large or smallish?

Napkin Guy: Penguin tastes a lot like platypus.

I'm going to have the date from hell!

@ icenine

If you're too shy to ask him that, then tell him you need to go to the bathroom, and then approach the waiter and ask him to take measures.

MissCute said:

That's a good move too... or you could take him in to be measured for a suit and have the tailor grope his unit.
