Same here.

Remember, I got nothing for nearly thirteen years. So getting rejections for thirteen years straight taught me some things. One is to not get upset by it. Two, it does not matter whether I ask or not, I don't get nothing either way. So why not ask. But why ask, at the same time.

It's like Russel's simile of the flying teapot in space, or like the question whether God exists or not. None of the three (teapot, god, my getting laid or into a relationship) has any bearing on anything, none has any evidence of being there or not being there. It's an issue one can ponder, teapot, god, or my getting laid or into a relationship, but it's all academic.

So big deal. No fear here. No feeling being shot down.

It's all BS, if you ask me. I just wish death hasn't waited for this long to touch me.

I like being touched.

@Ladywind7, you put the tag 'color=green' in between '[]' '' WITHOUT THE QUOTES before your post. And you'd have your post in the color you indicated in the brackets. Try it and let see if you've gotten it right :-)

Well it all depends on the person's natural behaviour whether he / she loves to be a part of activities which involves some kinda a risk to an extent. But if you ask me personally if it is logical to go first i would be the first person the world to test but if it is just for the sake of showing your guts at the same time i will straight away give a sweet kick to it. !!! And let me tell you i am a Boxer by profession so to some extent i know it is always very important to start your business ASAP which will also bring a piece of extra motivation to your task . Hope you gotcha this !! nywayz TC ppl ...

You can't explain codes using the codes.

Unfortunately you also can't explain codes without using the codes.

Einstein was trying to solve how to get around this problem at the time of his death.

It's almost exactly the same or similar like putting your XXX in quotes, describing that a lady just said that you just took it out of her mouth.

Yeah, I think it is in your nature to be a risk taker or not. Thanks Bigblack:-)

To those who say they have GIVEN UP!, I'd simply say PLEASE DON'T DENY YOURSELF SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD ALWAYS WISH YOU HAVE, :-) Fill your heart with beautiful thoughts, Keep ur bright smile and move around with your beautiful/handsome bodies smartly :-) Love will surely find you :-) And if you find it first, don't hesitate, MAKE THE FIRST MOVE, the other party may actually be interested but maybe is less confident than you are :-) Why not help them out :-) At least even in the relationship we are going to be partners who'd compensate for each other's inadequacies! I have loved and lost, and i'm presently alone BUT I still keep my hopes alive of finding my Dream Queen :-) Or maybe she finding me first :-)

My point is that in my case there is no risk involved whatsoever -- the outcome never changes.

So I go marrily asking out every female version of all tom dick and harries, or herriettes. No risk, nothing, so it's kinda boring. That's the worst part of it. Boredom. No change. Monotony. Gray nothingness, a cry into the fog and not knowing if it falls upon any ears at all. The existential angst of being alone, the great sea with one tiny island, I am alone here, with emptiness, eagles, and snow, unfriendliness chilling my body, and crying out pictures of home.

BigblackXXX, I am sorry, I am not a prejudiced man at all, but you brought this thought out of me: "You sure are a man of color."

Haha, I am not laughing at you, but this is funny. I hope you have a sense of humour, because god knows I don't mean no harm.

Wux, get a darn dog and stop the self pity :-P

Hi Wux, The ICT field is my playground and so it simply in my nature to play around with codes :-) And for the humour, i won't last a day on earth if i wasn't good at laughing at myself :-) Your humour is taken in good faith :-) and who knows, maybe it might get to the notice of Einstein descendants to file for a Copyright claim on 'research on how to teach code without using code' :-)

I fall into this category

I wouldn't ask a man out unless we seemed to have a lot of common interests and some type of "click" between us...Then it would feel natural to suggest that we get together for dinner or a drink etc...I probably wouldn't call it an "official date." (Just a chance to get together and talk (and visit) away from the "crowds.")...I don't think I'd ask a man I didn't know very well "out." I like to have some type of "foundation" first. (Some assurance that we do have common interests.) And a sense that we both enjoy each other.

I don't fear rejection, I have never had a problem asking someone out. She might say, "no", then again, she might say, "yes". How can she say, "yes" unless I give her a chance to do so. But I admit I've pretty much given up. If I were going to meet "the one", I would have by now.

Beeeep!! Wrong answer. Try again lol.

It is a lot easier for women to not fear rejection because 99.9% of the time its the guy who has got to do all the chasing.Not that I would know a lot about it.A women could hit me in the head with a 2 by 4 with the the words "im interested" engraved on it and I still would not get the picture You think being a goodlooking cat,I wouldnt have any problems with da ladies

Thanks Old Hippie. Appreciate your input.

What makes you think that our main wish is to be with someone? Hell, my wish is to win the lottery. LOL I don't walk around with my head hanging down because I am not coupled up. I feel lots of love from family and friends that care and will always be there for me. I never have to worry about them leaving me, hitting me, trying to change me, putting me down, or cheating on me. I am thankful for what I do have in life and the person I love most is myself. My life won't be any better merely because I have a partner in it as I truly have to find happiness within myself.
