Reading what you"ve posted throughout this thread Eomer, honestly I think maybe you should just stop trying so hard to meet someone. You"d be surprised how much easier it is to meet women when you aren"t constantly worrying about it and prowling restaurants or your brother"s wedding.
Just cause I post about it here doesn"t mean I"m running around, "prowling" for bitches. I mean realistically since my breakup with Anne in late June, I"ve gone on a date with the PoF chick and the chick from my bro"s wedding. This third one I only mentioned to my bud as finding her attractive, he took it upon himself to hook things up more or less. I"m not trying overly hard at all I would say, but taking opportunities as they arise.
On top of that why do you over-analyze everything so much? You"ve made several posts about this waitress chick and you haven"t even spoken a word to her. Christ, just walk into the restaurant and ask her out.
I over-analyze everything, not just relationships. It"s just the way my mind works. And I both find it amusing and useful to post here, at least some of the time.

I really can"t offer any advice whatsoever, the toughest loss I"ve ever had to go through was putting my dog down, and that"s not even in the same ballpark. My sincere condolences.

And because you overthink things, here is a step guide generalized to relationships. There is one simple rule: Do not move on to, or think about, the next step until you have completely the previous step.
lol, you"re being semi-smartassed, but honestly that"s pretty good advice for me.

Can I just say it irritates me to no end how dudes refer to their friend"s as "bud" or "buddy." I"m not even sure why it"s just so annoying to hear "Hey yeah my buddy and I were out last night." It seems like something you"d see on the back of an Ed Hardy shirt.
Maybe it"s local lingo, I don"t know. I would say bud vs. buddy 90% of the time, as Buddy"s is THE local gay bar. I dunno, friend sounds like such a formal term, and one that you"d use for everyone from mild aquaintances to lifelong friends. "Bud" or "bro" or whatever implies, to me anyway, that it"s a dude I"m pretty good friends with that I hang out with on a regular basis. What nomenclature would you like sir?

I dunno about mate, but buddy works fine. Maybe we should get a movement going to bring matey back though.
Matey is just plain old wicked gay.
So instead of calling off the bat I texted the girl, since I wasn"t sure about her schedule etc. She responded back a few hours later apologizing for not responding sooner, she was writing a paper and had her phone off (nursing student). I didn"t respond as I was asleep on the couch by the time she did, intent is to set up a good time for a quick phone call, to set up a date of some sort.
In the "hilariously coincidental" column, I receive the following text 5 times from Anne last night, within 20 minutes of the other girl"s response:
"You don"t think I"m a horrible person, do you?"
No idea if it she meant to do that, or if it"s Telus fucking up. I get some texts twice fairly often, and three times once or twice, but never more than that. We have had pretty much no communication since the week or two after the breakup and the couple texts exchanged at Folk Fest where we saw each other from a distance but avoided each other. I really have no idea what she"s been up to, if she got back together with her previous guy or was seeing someone else, so who knows what motivated her to send that. My response was:
"Depends on the day
Any particular reason you ask? And did you mean to send that 5 times?"
At this point I"m really seeing quite clearly how much of a head case she is, when it wasn"t obvious (to me anyway) at all when we dated.
