Developing Situation

So I work with this 28 year old woman at work. She's a server, new in town, just moved from Baton Rouge. She's nice, but a little on the strange side. So the story goes, bout two weeks ago, I was chatting her up after work (we work together at a bar, I'm the cook, her the server). We have a few drinks, and I invite her back to my place to smoke a bowl, since I live very close to the bar. So we go back, she comes back to my room, and we take a few rips. After were both good and stoned, she falls down on my bed and proclaims she is tired. Here's where I make my fatal error for this occasion, I shut off the light. I start trying to put the moves on her, but she spouts out "I'm celibate" and cuts off any chance I have. So she leaves not long after.

We talked about it, sort of, at work a week or so later, and she said that she got really anxious and had to flee. But I don't know...maybe it's the age difference.

But flash to tonight, I send her a text asking how shes doing, and eventually thru a few exchanges she invites me over but says "come over...friend." I ask her what she means by that and she says "first and foremost your friend." so basically I'm not getting any. I said I'll come over, then she asks if I'm bringing my guitar. I said do you have any beer? Could I sleep there if I couldn't drive home. Then she says, "No beer. You can sleep on the couch, you got green?" Like she can use me as her bitch and not give me any lovin or anything. She was like "so you comin over" and I said "nah" and she was like "ok?". Wish I was just gunna get some.

Keep working on through her terms if you have nothing better. If you play by her rules and good times keep coming you could still bang her, but if you're not in the position you won't hit it. Truth be told shes still giving your the opportunity, if you're not in the positoin you won't have the opportunity. Just take a different attitude and enjoy the ride. if it doesn't work out into what you want within the time allotted you want then you can bail, but it's not a fruitless effort yet.

Some situations take more work than others, but it's still all good in the end.

Pics? :D

Lotsa good advice here Hepcat. Some that stand out are:

Mush - Keep working on through her terms if you have nothing better. If you play by her rules and good times keep coming you could still bang her, but if you're not in the position you won't hit it. Truth be told shes still giving your the opportunity, if you're not in the positoin you won't have the opportunity. Just take a different attitude and enjoy the ride. if it doesn't work out into what you want within the time allotted you want then you can bail, but it's not a fruitless effort yet.

and...

Jangler - If you want it, must play the game and be patient. I think the "nah" was a good call though, just ignore her now and see what she does.

I say if you feel like she's just using you, be aloof. No sense in giving without getting.

Maybe because she is new in town, she is honestly looking for a friend to hang out with and you are a good choice because of the work relationship. Ask her to pay for the green every now and then, see what she says to that.

I call BS on the celibate thing. She could have been an Uber-Slut in BR and is trying not to get a label in the new town. Maybe she is just trying to see if you are patient.

Age difference? What is it and what are the ages? I don't believe in that having an adverse effect on the relationship as the current Mama-San is 28 and I'm 46.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Best way to be aloof?

fug. Other. Women.

If she's saying she's celibate that probably means one of three things:

1. She's religious and/or a prude - You will have to do everything in your power to hit it, and you'll regret that you did as she will feel that sleeping with you is tantamount to giving you a $50,000 loan to help you pay off your bookie and avoid certain death.

2. She's had a bad experience - Rape, boyfriend dying, bad bad breakup, abuse, whatever. Yes she will eventually break down and sleep with you. Yes, she will bring so much baggage and crazy you will again regret your decision.

3. She’s not really celibate. She’s just celibate with you. – nuff said.

    • Some here have it wrong when based on hard numbers that determine a game. Here's a lengthy and deep analysis. Don't continue reading if you are not willing to look at the good and bad of your favorite players. The pass blocking was horrendous in the first half, and Dalton still kept the game competitive. Dalton was obviously directed to throw it to Thomas. Thomas ran his route horribly and didn't come back to the ball. The DB had an easy path to just race in front of Thomas. He's a TE who should be using his body to keep a DB from doing that. Lazy play by Thomas. The throw was good and it was the correct read (delivered 15 yards downfield with 3 to 5 yards to the sideline is where that ball was placed for Thomas). Here's how the drives went for the Falcons game. Drive 1: Ekwonu killed it. Drive 2: Heavy Dalton passing (Johnson & Moore). TD Drive 3: Dalton short passing (J.Sanders & XL). Punt Drive 4: Heavy Hubbard touches. FG Drive 5: Hubbard/M.Sanders touches. Punt (Running game failed and forced Dalton into 2 long passing downs. Got a PI to keep drive alive on one.) Drive 6: Heavy Dalton passing (5 targeted receivers). TD Drive 7: Running & short passing game to open the 2nd half. FG (Hubbard, Mingo, M.Sanders, J.Sanders, Thomas) OL ended the drive with a 2nd and 19. This is the ONLY drive the Panthers had for 3Q. Defensive failure Drive 8: Heavy Hubbard touches with TE targets. INT (Ian Thomas gave up INT with a lazy route and zero awareness of using his body to keep the DB from easily crossing his body. The play was called for Thomas and the play worked perfectly with him cutting through the zone to a wide open pocket. All Thomas had to do was get his body in between the trailing defender and the ball while staying on a line to the sideline. Thomas rounded his break and drifted to 18 yards deep at the end of his route. Gave the advantage to the speed of the trail defender. Pass was on point for a 15 yard crossing route. Play call was good. Receiver execution of a dig route was awful). The defense and Thomas in the 2nd half ended the game. Scoring % is 50% after this INT. That's still good for an offense. [Down 15 points with 5 minutes left. Running game has produced 6 points in 5 of 8 drives lasting 3 to 5 minutes per drive. Dalton has been successful on 2 of the 3 drives he was called on with the 1 failed drive stopped with bad pass blocking and relying on a TE.] Drive 9: All pass with defense protecting a lead. OL pass blocking fails again putting Dalton into a 2nd and 20. Dalton gets it to a 4th & 4 and throws incomplete with Ekwonu (one on one) thrown into him in 2 seconds forcing a high throw. (Canales, Dalton and Johnson were on point for a likely 1st down. Ekwonu pass blocking failed.) Turnover on downs. Drive 10: 2 minutes to go down 18 points. All pass. INT (Dalton didn't anticipate the CB jumping the route after reading a deep zone) The defense only stopped 2 drives from scoring. The OL lacks discipline and is a liability with their pass blocking. No one can excuse Ekwonu for what he does in pass blocking. It continues to cost the Panthers late in games, and on critical 4th down pass plays. The OL is very good at run blocking, but the RBs are not as good as fans want to believe. They are not playmakers to open up a game with a strong run blocking OL. The RBs are only good enough for controlling clock with a lead (and that needs to be more consistent). Too many missed opportunities from the RBs behind this OL. The TEs and Mingo are liabilities in the passing game. Their mistakes plus the lack of discipline on the OL is leading to way too many 3rd & longs. 7 of 12 3rd downs were long. 4 of the 7 were 3rd & 10+. The most efficient part of the team against the Falcons was Dalton, Johnson, Coker and Canales' play calling. XL is close to being in this group. Negative plays that resulted in 3rd & longs, failed 4th downs, INTs, and fumbles lost : Hubbard 3; Ekwonu 4; Thomas 2; J.Sanders 1; M.Sanders 1; Lewis 1; Nijman 1; Dalton 1. 1st downs/TDs converted: Rushing: Hubbard 6; M.Sanders 1; Dalton 1. Passing: Dalton 13 (Johnson 6; M.Sanders 1; Coker 2; J.Sanders 1; Legette 2; Hubbard 1). Top 3 liabilities: 1. Ekwonu 2. Hubbard 3. Thomas. Top 3 strengths: 1. Dalton 2. Hubbard 3. Johnson Anyone with a 1 doesn’t make a list. The goal is to have ZERO players on the liability list and 3 or more players on the strengths list. Then you want the opposite for the opponent to gauge the defense. Only 1 player of the Falcons made the liability list (Algiers with back to back runs for 0 yards on the 10th drive (final) of the game). Not a single Falcons OL with more than 1 critical mistake. Falcons only had 2 legit 3rd and longs all game (4 if you add the final plays of the game for them with the kneel downs). The Falcons converted 25 times in 9 drives. That makes them look better than the 5-0 Chiefs offense. Panthers' conversions by week: 1. 11; 2. 7; 3. 24; 4. 24; 5. 14; 6. 21. Dalton has been the key factor in the offense consistently converting 20+. The Bears game was planned around Hubbard carrying it to keep the Panthers defense off the field, and that failed. That is the only game Dalton has started that there hasn't been a single drive over 4 minutes in the 1st half (Dalton targeted 2 WRs on 2 passes until the 2 minute warning against the Bears). Realize the pass blocking OL and their discipline is a liability. The RBs lack of consistency is a liability. The TEs are a huge problem. The Panthers need a 3rd down back desperately, and Mingo should be converted to that role for now. The run blocking OL is carrying average RBs. Dalton is good enough to win and has done well playing through poor pass blocking. The receivers outside of Mingo are executing well. Canales is getting receivers open and calling plays to beat the defense. That's the state of the offense. Good enough to win, but not on at a level to put up 40 points per game. The offense has to worry about keeping up with their defense rather than simply executing to be good and win games at the end. List Dalton's critical mistakes that have ended a drive. Ekwonu, Mingo & Thomas are responsible for 3 of his 4 interceptions. His 3rd or 4th and short passes have failed how many times without being impacted by a terrible block or dropped pass?  45 drives to look at. I've already told you 3 that are not on Dalton. 10 resulted in TDs & 3 were end of game/half. That leaves 29 drives. Go see how they ended, and who's responsible. I already know, and I don't think some of you are willing to acknowledge who the drive killers are on the offense. It's not Dalton leading the way. Tough truths.
    • Haven't had time to pay attention to college ball the last couple weeks but seems like all the mock drafts have Sanders, Hunter, and Ward in the top 5 and then kinda mixed bag after that. I like that Ward is a playmaker with a little Favre style in him, seems real comfortable leading the huddle. Very different vibe from the soft stuff we've dealt with the last couple years. I believe he would no doubt beat out BY in a camp battle for what it's worth
    • I agree with playing younger players as available.  I also appreciate the (6) for those of us who cannot count . . . 😉
