I'd probably notice all these women you speak of here in NYC as well.<BR/><BR/>A story I neglected to tell--on the way to the convention last Saturday, on the A train, I was sitting across from a girl who was carrying a large swag bag. For the convention-noobs in our audience, this is something you carry all your free promotional goodies in as you go from exhibit to exhibit during. Easily, it could have been any other kind of bag, except she was wearing her convention badge around her neck. 134 blocks north of the convention, she was wearing her badge. And after a few stops, the venerable old woman sitting next to her made conversation and they struck up quite a nice, audible conversation (the old woman was hard of hearing). And the girl was unabashedly unashamed to say where she was going and what her bag was for.<BR/><BR/>Mind you, I was heading for the exact same location.<BR/><BR/>If that wasn't the Universe giving me a brightly packaged wrapped-with-a-bow gift, then I don't know what it was.<BR/><BR/>And what did I do? I sat in silence for the whole 134 block ride downtown, then forged a divergent path away as she went to the convention alone, and I did the same. <BR/><BR/>The whole ride down I was on the brink of asking "Did you go yesterday too? What panels did you see? I have friends in podcast alley. Do you listen to any podcasts? I produce one too. Have you ever seen Who Wants To Be A Superhero..?" But instead I stayed on the brink. That f&cking <I>brink</I>.<BR/><BR/>Yes, Match Girl-I or no, I <I>will</I> have meds.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926157658538605081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364249691989051292.post-75466893105492683302008-04-25T13:00:00.000-04:002008-04-25T13:00:00.000-04:00A few comments, if I may.First, fringes is right -...A few comments, if I may.<BR/><BR/>First, fringes is right - if you need meds, you need meds, and MG-I has nothing to do with it. Nothing. <BR/><BR/>Second, you live in NYC. Thre IS somebody else. It's a statistical certainty. <BR/><BR/>And as for dating her/the lies/whatever: I found that any number of small lies were told by and to me during my Match experience - up until you are personally accountable for another person's feelings - in that you know them and your actions have repercussions - I see little harm in small lies that preserve some measure of privacy. There is still trust to establish.<BR/><BR/>I would re-engage, at least to the meeting IRL point. The worst that will happen is that you will not be compatible. Or she'll go all Glenn Close on you. (Remember, that looked like fun at first.) But if there's no chemistry, meeting in person will usually tell you. <BR/><BR/>Life happens all at once - I see no reason for you not to chase after MG-I while you get your meds going and maybe snoop around for MG-II.Ned Hodgsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00056581871990680238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364249691989051292.post-12679971511814977032008-04-25T12:31:00.001-04:002008-04-25T12:31:00.001-04:00and plus, there isn't anyone else.and plus, there isn't anyone else.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926157658538605081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364249691989051292.post-62343599884898244442008-04-25T12:31:00.000-04:002008-04-25T12:31:00.000-04:00Wow.

I really wouldn't want her at all if she lied about the vacation, but she gave reasonable details for the trip and I took her word for that. <BR/><BR/>I could deal with her dating around if she had contained it all in the term "personal stuff" that she used. It isn't as though it's my business so early in the game.<BR/><BR/>And I realize I'm making excuses for her. Because I like her. <BR/><BR/>I think I have to date her in order to find out how much she deserves to be moved on from.<BR/><BR/>But I won't say I wasn't warned, Fringes.

No, she wasn't. Did she ...Was she upfront about it? No, she wasn't. Did she say: hey, I'm using my $14.99 a month subscription to its fullest, and it may take me awhile to get back to you? No. She claimed "vacation" and the ever-popular "no Internet connection".<BR/><BR/>Fine if people want to date around during this process, but liars are never acceptable. You deserve better.fringeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10890618644042885035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364249691989051292.post-41000020405536788202008-04-25T10:44:00.000-04:002008-04-25T10:44:00.000-04:00Fringes, seriously?

That's what you guys suggested for me to do with the other ladies, no?

No person can take the place of your mental medical attention.<BR/><BR/>Yes, Match Girl got rejected by some other dude, so now she is feeling you out, hoping you're still available. Walk away.
