If a $1400 isn't a lot for you, why don't you buy it yourself ?
1.because I'm not narcissist!
2. I don't want to waste my money on useless things!

o:)




Igor_S said:
Yeah... but gifts like chocolate, stuffed animals or something like a pillow shaped like heart, certainly not diamond ring (well... maybe fake one :biggrin: ). I have a friend who studies molecular biology, who mentioned she likes stuffed animals shaped like some bacteria or viruses (they really don't look that bad :smile: ).
Ok ok you proved your intelligence...
1 of my friends chatted with someone over the internet and well they met offline.(in fact my friend went there to see if he'd come. but the guy recognized her) so first the guy took her to an expensive restaurant and then wanted to buy her an expensive jewlery. Anyway my friend hadn't accepted and said that she was late and they would meet each other next time. Of course she just wanted to get rid of the guy, so she didn't even chat with him anymore.
Well there are lots of idiots in this world!

Anyway I'm just having fun with this thread as you know!:wink:

Isn't it just?:cool: Hmmm. I could probably buy that ring. Whether or not I would want to spend that amount of money on a hunk of metal with rocks in it, is something I would have to ponder over, which shouldn't take too long seeing as I have a potential IQ of over 400!
well, I should test your IQ by myself!

Hmm. If I could trade one inch of height for one IQ point, I would meet your requirements. I'm told my face is tolerable.

D'oh! I already married someone. And I would never buy a diamond. What a waste of carbon. I got her a $2000 bicycle, carbon fiber!

Much more beautiful, don't you think?
waste of carbon, huh?:-p



tribdog said:
I think you missed a decimal point in that IQ because there is no way someone with a 182 IQ wouldn't be able to convert cm to ft.
How about not being able to conver ft to cm?

I've bought several diamonds over the years, and I'd be willing to buy you one if we went on a date and it went exceedingly well. $1400 is a bit steep however for a first date gift. see if you can find one in the $150-$300 range and give me a call. but be aware that "exceedingly well" probably translates into "naked and sweaty"
:smile:
Your tongue(better to say your sense of humour) is worth more than diamonds, but the problem is that you're taken!:-p

Why don't you ask her for his phone number ? :biggrin: He sounds "just the kind of guy" :)

Well you could make him buy the ring, then dump him :biggrin: ... you can say things like "i need more space" or "we can still be friends" , then find someone smarter. And at the end everybody is happy ! (The guy will probably find some woman who is only after his money, not his brains, so he will be happy too !)

No you are not! And futhermore, empty your PM inbox. :cool:

Just a thought - if the ground has been relatively undisturbed (i.e. no construction or ground work), then the ring could still be where it was lost, and it might be possible to find it.
dammit astronuc. I was heading out with my metal detector and you had to go put ideas in her head.
actually the ring isn't where she thinks she lost it. that area has been searched already. I'd bet she put the ring somewhere safe and forgot that she had done so, but safe to a kid might mean a knot hole in a tree, under a rock or behind a loose brick.

aren't we moving a little too fast here. so how many dates do you expect a guy to go out with you before you make him buy a diamond ring or a gift?

Lisa! said:
Ah come on! First of all I don't expect an intelligent guy to go out on a blind date. So let say he decides to date a girl since he already knows her enough and now decides to date her because he knows she's her kind of woman.

talk about a contradiction in terms. so you started the thread asking a guy to buy you a $1400 ring now you say:

Lisa! said:
(Nope, gifts doesn't work in my case very well but then again this ring might be different!:biggrin: )

so much for language and logic

Lisa! said:
Intelligent: IQ > 150
Handsome: height > 5' 11, and physically fit and with a tolerable face:rolleyes:

and we all know guys are shallow and women aren't into looks all that much

Actually I am sure my best friend down the street found it and stole it. I'm about 100% sure.

A place where I can crank up my Rock & Roll, in peace and not so quiet. :biggrin:

My family objects to Led Zepplin, Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower, Traffic, Blind Faith, Spirit, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Journey (1st album), The Who, Yardbirds, Cream, Rolling Stones (< 1970), The Doors, Yes, EL&P, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Santana, Black Sabbath, Nazareth, Blue Öyster Cult, Jon Butcher, Joe Satriani . . . . at full volume. I prefer to work while listening to inspirational music. :biggrin:

I need a place of my own. :-p

Listening to Trower's "Bridge of Sighs" and "About to Begin" as I type this. :cool:

Oh, you can't always get what you want,
but if you try sometimes,
you might find,
you get what you need! :cool: - Rolling Stones, Let it Bleed, 1969


Edit: Oh, yeah - a new 5 string base guitar would be nice! Then I would really have to get my own place. :biggrin:

Wow! that is my kind of music..I the right circumstances we could be roomies!

:bugeye:
You're kidding, right?

1. Nobody looks for logic and language within threads at GD especially funny 1s!
2. You know contradictions and illogical terms is what usually make us laugh!:-p





and we all know guys are shallow and women aren't into looks all that much
well you learn something new everyday(even about yourself)!:rolleyes:

I don't want to be shallow anymore, so::-p
Edit: IQ > o
appearance: whatever(fat, intolerable face,...)

Ok I'm not ashamed of announcing that I'm shallow if not being shallow means dating whoever/whatever comes to your way! :-p
