      Highlighted

      implying he regularly exceeds five beers per hour

      it’s been a while since I had a drink, just over 5 years

      but a twelve pack and some shots lasted about most of the evening for me

      Guess I wasn’t much of a drinker?

    “Astrology is such bullshit. Flowers hate sex, so they get bees to do their dirty work. I’ve never heard of the Colleen hoover, is it a good brand? Primus sucks. I feel I could be a main character on Grey’s Anatomy. I like you woman, you don’t talk much, unlike that Taylor Swiftmouth.”

        All you need is a star chart and a sense of wild abandon.

        What’s your sign? Born in March? Yes, looks like you’re an… Ursa major! What good fortune!

        I was chatting with a bartender about my telescope a while ago, and the woman sitting next to me asked me when my birthday was. I told her the month, and asked why. She said “it sounds like you know a lot about astrology.” I said “oh no, I’m into astronomy,” to which she replied “same thing.”

    Honestly, more men should wear thick soled shoes on causal dates. Women have so much help to boost their natural attractiveness; we gotta even the playing field.

    Nah, just spend the week before the date going over all that stuff in your head over and over and over, making sure it basically the only thing on your mind. Practice ALL the conversations you’re going to have. over and over again.

    Then when things don’t go exactly as rehearsed, panic and blurt out something stupid. If they laugh, they’re a keeper. And if they don’t leave it means they have flag color blindness.

    Perfect system.

    ok, in which freedom units do I have to think, such that 5 beers/h falls under “pace yourself”?

      12 ounces (350ml) or 16 ounces (470ml) would be typical for an American beer.

      If the guy can reach 6 feet with “thick soles”, he’s not small, so probably the 16 ounce beer as a draft, rather than the 12 ounce beer which is typical for a bottle.

      I could likely forget my name for a moment, if someone suddenly asked it face to face. I have already forgotten an important part of my address, in a situation like that before. If I am asked directly about something, there is a very high chance, I will immediately forget everything about it, as I panic invisibly. (And yes, it is autism with me.)

        I don’t know what that’s from, but the premise of “person thinks name tag is for their benefit” alone would be funny enough even if it was actually a name tag.

          That’s from Doctor Who. In case you’re not familiar, the Doctor - here portrayed by Matt Smith - is an alien super genius who’s also a bit daft. There’s loads more to the character, but if you really aren’t familiar, I wouldn’t want to deprive you of the fun of discovering it.

          One thing to note: the Doctor has been played by many actors over many, many years. Personally, Matt Smith is my favorite, but all of the ones I’ve watched have had something to enjoy about them. All of them portray the character differently, so the tone of the show does change somewhat depending on where you start.

          I haven’t seen many of the older actors, nor either of the more recent two, so I can’t recommend for or against them.
