The Sad, Strange Seven Months of Emails from the Starbucks Stalker

Dude, she's just not into you. :blink:

Well, who the heck knew it was going to be just about impossible to get a part time job? I have piqued because i've been turned down by every one of the hundred or so places i've applied. Wow.

It never gets that cold here, but if it did, I would wear one of these.

The speed of sound in water is 1,435 external m/sec - nearly five times faster than the speed of sound in air.

Randomly posted question.
 

Does that mean, a "whale song" would have a lower tone to it if they "sang" when they came out of the water?

This was so interesting. I feel bad for the guy. If she wasn’t into him she should have just said that. The male role is to pursue. *shrug* I’ve spent a lot of time dating men. Most were relentless in their pursuit. It reminds me of the phrase, “It’s only sexual harassment if they’re ugly.” In my experience in dating men, and one of the best things about it (IMO) there are clear rules. Women run and men chase. They generally are taught to be aggressive in their pursuits in business or with women. That if they work hard enough at what they want they will be rewarded. Years of poetry, books and movies reinforce this idea.

I remember my grandmother telling me once, when I was talking about a guy that I was seeing being upset that I wasn’t calling him back, that him being angry about my lack of communication was a sign that he cared and was invested. She was right. lol. So his being upset in the email that she isn’t responding doesn’t seem so far out there to me. He’s not threatening her or holding her cat hostage. He likes her.

With women, dating was never so easy. I made it easier by defining my role clearly and taking charge. The ambiguity was always maddening.

I’ve had guys show up at my job, call five of my friends to get my number, randomly show up wherever I am, send emails out of the blue….lol. Being “liked,” to me, is never a bad thing. I have had stalkers too. That was very different. After a relationship ended or someone who I didn’t know at all who never introduced themselves following me or calling my house at 3am and hanging up. In those instances I was clear that I didn’t like them that way. Only after I was clear could I judge them or their behavior. Up until that point it’s more a matter of perspective.

If she was into him, this would be a love story right? A very different headline. Ignoring men never works to get rid of them if that’s the goal. Unless they have no self esteem. That is exactly the game of straight dating. There is a book called The Rules, it’s simply old fashioned dating advice and caused a huge uproar when it came out. My grandmother always said the same exact things in that book, that is how her generation dated. She ignored all men generally and the ones she really liked, even more so. She was married to someone who was aggressive in winning her over and adored her for 65 years (until the day she died.)

i <3 my beetle
 

I drive an 05 convertable beetle and I just love it. I love the color, I love the seats, I love that its curvy(like me ;) ) and I love that in the warmer months I can put the top down and just drive with the wind in my hair.
Volkswagen has now come out with a new beetle model. It's bigger, sportier,(I'll admit it handles better) and they have gone for a more masculine look (their words during training) to "open up the market" I think VW did a great job with the new design and I will probably get one once my little bug bites the dust.

However, here on the car lot it seems people immediately love it or hate it. And those that love the new one hate the old one, and they are very vocal about it. And so, I must stand and listen to how much they hate the old style, how girly and curvy it was and "what's with the bud vase". Lol all the reasons I love it!

Viva la difference right?

I'm hot blooded, check it and see.
I've got a fever of 103.
Come on baby can you do more than
Dance.
I'm hot blooded, I'm hot blooded.

* Song is stuck in my head.

I thought that same thing. If you post your email address and you can even post your cell phone number some places - how can you get offended when someone uses it? Isn't that the point of posting it? lol. Back in the old days, we actually used phone books to look up numbers. I also thought it was strange, since he already had her phone number, why him having her email address would freak her out? I'd prefer the email route to the phone personally. I am more likely to give out my email address first, long before my phone number. Then we graduate to fb and THEN we do the phone thing.

Hahaha!
 

Well that sure explains a lot. :blink:

Right?! :blink:

I found the whole thing creepy and needy. Major turn off for me.
