It may work out fine but you risk seeming desperate. I would call her but keep things like your mortgage and feelings that you could marry her to yourself for a long, long, long time. Trust me, nothing is scarier than having someone with that vibe early on, unless she is really needy (in which case that would be another problem).

Don't sweat the details and DON'T OVERTHINK IT! You obviously are highly intelligent and posessess a memorable personality, which should more than make up for your tragically tiny penis.

All joking aside, if you made the connection you think you did, you have NOTHING to worry about . . . which is not to say you're not going to worry and worry and worry anyway. Sigh. That be the thrill of the chase.

If she matches up well with you, then she will appreciate the living hell out of you even if your fly IS open. What I'm trying to say is that this relationship will work if it is meant to work, and if it is meant to work, nothing you can do will eff it up.

In deep personal matters such as these, I, like millions of my fellow Americans, turn to the movies for guidance. Remember all those scenes in all those movies where the guy (or the girl) is all nervous and acts like an idiot upon meeting? Remember how that only endears him or her to the other person?

Assume support. Have confidence in yourself, I happen to believe despite your more colorful] eccentricities that it is warranted. Confidence is attractive and appealing, and goofiness reveals vulnerability which can be endearing and relax the other person.

So . . . if you see this woman as the possible extended warranty of your life . . . how can you lose? ;)

This is very true. :)

Edit: And I'd never say all that stuff to someone I wasn't in a relationship with either, so drunk or not I knew better than that.

so the thing you think you messed up on is that you called her late at night/early in the morning figuring to just leave a message and she wouldn't pick up?

If thats the case, I wouldnt think too much into it, she ofcourse might interperet as a signal that you are really interested in her. But hell, its not the 6th grade anymore, its ok to admit you like someone :)

Besides, whats done is already done, so dont dwell on it.

Hmm, I don't know about calling that night to do something the very next day. Might be seen as coming on a little too strong by some girls. I guess you'll find out ;)

Also, I want to know if you actually ended up going out with her for Lunch :)

Eh, my girlfriend's mom and dad met in a bar - they've been married something like 20 years. I've seen how they act around each other, they're still in love...I don't think it's the best place to meet someone, but sometimes it does work out.

I'm confused. You called, but expected to get her voicemail? why? Then you apologized. For what?

My wife and I met online 9 years ago. I moved from Wisconsin to Albany about 4 years after that. Got married 4 years ago this September. Had our first child just over a month ago. She is 2 years older than me.

Back then it was Taboo to meet someone online. Oprah and her scare tactics aside....

You actually go out to bars (go out at all) with the intentions of looking for a WIFE? One step at a time! Find a friend, then maybe turn her into a girl friend, and then wife! You are missing some pretty important steps there.

Ok, well my friend was having a fairly large party tonight -- about 50 or 60 people wiht 2 kegs, 5 live bands, and a bunch of champagne-- and I called her -- but she didn't answer so I left her a voicemail. I basically just invited her to the party, and asked her to call me if she wanted to come. Since she didn't answer or call me back, I figure I struck out and should move on.

On another note, my ex-girlfriend called me today, and we've been talking in the past few days about getting back together, so I'm not sure where that is headed. You know -- if I struck out I struck out, no harm in trying. She gave me her number, so either she was one of those nice people that don't like to hurt someone's feelings or she was in to me and I blew it. Either way, it is is a learning experience.

Anyway, I talked to her for about 30 minutes, and then her girlfriend was freaking getting thrown out for being so drunk, so I protected her and her friend from scandalous guys, and then got her number(thought it was fake since I was 5 years older), but it was her number. I was going to leave a message seeing if she wanted to get lunch/brunch at this really nice restaurant, but she actually answered and I apologized and was like do you want to catch lunch at X tomorrow and she said: Babe, call me in the morning. I guess she gave me the real number and we really had a connection, but I wasn't expecting her to answer -- I was going to leave a message. I fvcking think she is great -- being older she is someone I could see myself getting serious with and getting married with, because I basically never date anyone that is less than 5 years older than me. I didn't mean for her to answer so goddamn. Sigh.

Yet another parody? Some things you say there clearly hint that this is not a true event, or that you aren't as indecisive as you pretend. You had better call off the joke now before you tick people off for posting something not true and consuming their time It's not like this parody is even creative or funny in any way. :/

Right, I think my comments were taken a tad out of context -- I meet a lot of girls out at bars or clubs or whatever or even at school, but most of them are not "marriage" material. They are good looking or perhaps nice, but they aren't in that higher standard. I'm sure being drunk had a tad to do with it as well, but I obviously didn't mean I *wanted* to marry someone after just meeting them -- just that they fit my standards -- which is rare.

Did you fill her in on the ghost that lives in your house that keeps leaving you shirts? Wouldn't be fair to date her without telling her that.

You're fortunate that Mill isn't the raging, angry, forum tyrant that he once was. :p

Good luck Mill!
