#NerdsUnite: Dating + Texting =M0dern Luv
There is fine thread connecting dating and texting. While text messaging is far less invasive than a phone call, sending a text that comes across the wrong way can be like leaving a creepy message on a girl’s voicemail. And going from getting her number to getting the date can be near impossible if you are sending the wrong signals through your texts.
#RealDeal: An understanding of value while riding in a Gulf stream jet
Now, the title of this search starts with a "b" and is also indicative of the amount of money this person has. Having seen who this matchmaker deals with, I thought even having that word in the title for the search was all wrong. Nothing against the matchmaker at that to be honest, but you have to think about what you are going to highlight and who is going to respond and why. You have to think like a marketer!!
#NerdsUnite: Five Moves That Make You Look Bad in Bed (and How to Avoid Them)
If you’re a two-pump chump, can’t get it up or think “labia” is a country in Africa, they’ll find out pretty damn quick that you can’t take care of business. But what’s more disturbing? A woman can tell a guy’s hopeless long before you glimpse her undies—and that can actually prevent any action from even happening.
#NerdsUnite: So She Has a Boyfriend. So what?
If you really have balls – and you have to do this with extreme confidence – you can to look her directly in the eyes and say, “Listen, I’m going to lay it flat out for you. I rarely meet someone that I find this attractive, and you’ve got fucking killer energy.”
#DestinationDating: Water so clear you can see to the bottom. $100,000 cars, every body got em
About an hour before I had to leave for the event, I got a call from my mechanic.
Your convertible isn't going to be ready today. I just got it back from the window shop and we still need to put everything back together.
<tangent> This guy is TOTALLY badass btw. Not only did he just give me his car as a loaner, but the first day I went to his shop we kicked it and he even opened up his bar handing me a shot of tequila. (I didn't finish it since I was going to have to drive obvi) </tangent>
#ThatAwkwardMomentWhen: You discover the hard way that nobody messes with the Jesus
The process over the last few weeks has been maddening. I catch myself crying randomly all over the place as I am feeling vulnerable for the first time in my adult life. Being vulnerable as a child taught me that I was going to be attacked either verbally or physically. I quickly learned to compartmentalize all of my emotions to appear "stronger" than whoever came at me, and even learned how to box when I was being stalked physically. (Hence also why I didn't even bat an eye at pulling the knife on that dude when he broke into my parent's condo. You just "know" how to be prepared.)
#NerdsUnite: How to build rapport on a date
Rapport is an emotional exchange that helps people feel a connection on a deeper level. The next time you go out to eat, observe the people chatting with each other. What you’ll often see is people leaning toward one other, smiling, making eye contact and mirroring or mimicking each other’s movements and gestures. They’re in rapport. On a subconscious level, we all mirror the movements of someone we like or want to impress.
#NerdsUnite: My name is Alicia and I'm doing 50 dates in 50 states (Intermission)
Blasting through the country has led to some strange and possibly displaced emotions. Simultaneously I am soaking up the landscape, history, stories and existence of our country on a level that was incomprehensible before (and in many ways is still hard to truly understand) while a little piece of my head is bummed I have missed art show openings and birthdays of friends.
#NerdsUnite: Like energy attracting even in traffic!
I was just saying the other day how wildly random attraction is. It's ALWAYS like energy attracting!!! That's IT!!!! Then you have the added layer of wondering about a relationship and that boils down to timing. Where are you both in your life? Are your futures moving down the same path?!
#TrueStory: So, tonight I have a date with a guy I met in traffic ... seriously
I thought at first it was the car (since beetle convertibles are more likely than not driven by women), but even when I had the Ford Fiesta from the Fiesta Movement - people still came up and talked to me while sitting in traffic. Men AND women. I don't know why ... happens all the time.
