Bluntness and a touch of condescension has worked well for me on more than one occasion.

The Christian thing for him to have done would have been to try to reach out to me as I'm obviously jaded against the Catholic church........yet again, I'm reminded that Catholicism has very little to do with being Christian...

Cable for what??

The Jag/Landy dealer is having an 'owners day' tomorrow.......free swag, vehicle inspections, discounts on service and accessories and catering......If it's not raining, I'm taking the Landy.

Saw a guy with a beautiful 993 Cab Carrera today.....license plate '1998993'
Commented on it, he was blown away that someone knew the significance.......chatted for a few minutes...cool guy, but he doesn't drive it much, kinda a shame.

Uh, ok. So just give a smart-ass response when a girl tries to diss you. Got it.

It appears that you may need to be hit over the head with a hammer....

Her criticism of my vehicle was made in a flirtatious manner, as most of our interaction over the last week has been.

I thought of this song reading this particularly the line ' the local priest likes little boys bums'...he he

I'm in Led Zep heaven! I just received 4 master tracks that are very rare.

Hard to tell when you are reporting it second hand on a keyboard...

the moral of the lesson is 'have confidence' even when you don't, fake it........and don't try to be something you aren't......I make no secret of the fact that I'm a smartass and arrogant.

[Flieger]

I think I could tell if something was a flirting insult if it were given in person.

I haven't had a girl insult me before so I guess that is both a good and a bad thing.

Contradicting yourself?

I will go with all the advice I have been given before- be yourself. I need a girl that I feel comfortable being myself with.

[HHI944]

By fake it, in re confidence, I didn't mean be something you aren't.......I meant just be confident even if there is a little voice in the back of your head working against you......quickly, that voice will dissipate.

But yeah, be yourself. Don't act any different than you would around friends.....I got a lot of crap from one girl I dated briefly because I do things like open doors, etc...........but I do that for everyone.........despite the arrogant smartass part, I bend over backwards to help others and have manners......just who I am and I don't ramp that up or down to accomodate a female interest.

Um, to a point. You really are not going to make a good first impression with one finger up your nose and the other hand scratching your ass while farting.

[HHI944]

I don't do that around people........just when I'm at home posting on here!!

[Flieger]

Yeah, the confidence is the key. I have to get rid of the fear of failure and realize it does not mean the problem is with me if she doesn't like me. So I should therefore just go for it.

[HHI944]

Yup!!!!

Night all.
