That's not him.

 

[rewebster]

Yes, when I decide to consider the unobtainable, I go all out.

hey--all I'm saying is that you may have it right (at least for a woman)

 

[Evo]

Don't burst my bubble just yet.

 

[Evo]

Ok, who would like me to stalk them? I've got to find something to take my mind off the pain. My stalking is limited to online only.

who else did you have in mind?

 

[Evo]

I'm open to requests. Of course, they'll have to listen to me whine. Nothing comes free.

be up front with it----



tell them that 'cheese' is available too

 

[Thrice]

It's a trap!

 

[Evo]

It's a trap!

Sshhhhh!

I need someone to listen to me whine

 

[SticksandStones]

So, you think it's more acceptable to older people than to young people?

Of course young people have facebook and myspace, and many other similar online places where they can harmlessly contact each other. Us "old" folks are left to our own devices.

Everyone my age at work is married, gay or young Earth creationists. I'm too old to be cruising bars. I'm too young to be put in a retirement home.

I can sit at home and twiddle my thumbs, or take a chance.

Yes, I am saying it might be more acceptable to older people. For someone in my generation to be contacted out of the clear blue by a strange woman I have never met with a picture and a letter would instantly trigger thoughts of crazy stalkers. This is possibly a symptom of growing up in a society where all strangers are labeled as evildoers.

I did not, however, say there was anything wrong with you doing this. In fact, I would encourage you to go through with it. You have everyone here supporting you, why aren't you taking the chance already?

 

[rewebster]

Sshhhhh!

you had better use that 'sticky' board then

----------------------------

why did "Of Mice and Men" come to mind?---

 

[Evo]

Because so many have now gotten me to think I'd be some kind of psycho if I did.

I guess if I worded the question as Mathwonk put it "should i email a guy I think is handsome and interesting?" it would have come across differently.

 

[Evo]

Ok, should I e-mail a guy I think is handsome and interesting?

 

[rewebster]

Oh c'mon, Look at the poll—7 negative, and I'm sure we don't have to worry about your looks and personality.

should I e-mail a guy I think is handsome and interesting?

Yes!

 

[Thrice]

Well this is par for a crush. I once had something like this running for 4 years. You may wish to change your sig first, Evo.

 

[Kurdt]

Yes

 

[Evo]

Yes!

Should I send him the poll results? Less than half of the men surveyed say I'm crazy to be e-mailing you.

 

[Evo]

Nix on the ice weasels, eh?

well, you never know, all the 'other' voters could have voted the way they did just to not make you feel bad, too

how's that arm (and the rest of you) feeling today?

 

[Gale]

Email him Evo. Really, I think you should. Ask him a few things about his work, or I saw one interview where he lists a bunch of pop sci books he likes. You could read one of those and make a comment about it. Then ask something a little more personal, so you can hopefully diverge from just talking about his work. Just send an email that's engaging, so he'll want to respond. Be a little bit funny, and don't send a picture yet. Just do it.

Well no one likes to be reminded.

And risk him thinking she's crazy? Are you crazy? What if he doesn't respond? What if he does & registers on PF & they hit it off & he decides to come visit but there are terrorists on the plane & he dies & she's responsible for the loss of such a brilliant man? Does she want that on her head? How will she live through the ice weasels? I'm not sure I could.

all good points

I see that 'this' thread has generated a new thread:


"scientists and mental problems"

 

[Math Jeans]

Is this the guy?

I think you can do better Evo.

I'm open to requests. Of course, they'll have to listen to me whine. Nothing comes free.

Well. He looks a lot like my brother.

 

[Evo]

Well. He looks a lot like my brother.

It's the guy on the right, not the left.

 

[rewebster]

come on evo--just email him

 

[Math Jeans]

It's the guy on the right, not the left.

I REALLY hope you're being sarcastic.

 

[Evo]

Perhaps I should get drunk first?

 

[Evo]

I REALLY hope you're being sarcastic.

No, the guy I like is the guy with the glasses.

 

[Math Jeans]

No, the guy I like is the guy with the glasses.

I meant the one on the left...

Sorry about that one .

 

[Kurdt]

How can you not like the guy on the right? Hes like a velvet owl or a human sock puppet.

 

[rewebster]

"Six shots of 1800, please"

 

[Evo]

Removes Kurdt's GOOBF cards.

I'm dead serious about being attracted to this guy. I remember the first time I saw him on tv. <sigh>

no--maybe Kurdt was saying that he looks 'warm and fuzzy'

(you know, that same feeling after six shots of 1800)

Well, he's clearly an acquired taste. But, that could work in your favor. He may be quite single and starved for a bit of flattery.

Okay, so maybe don't jump straight in and tell him you're attracted and sending a photo and all that, but why not talk about some other stuff...his lectures you've enjoyed, books you've read, or that we've been talking about his multiple universe theories here and you were curious to know more about that and interested in knowing which of his books might provide that information. If he responds to that, keep up the email conversation, then see where it leads. (And if we see him signing up here, we'll make sure this thread disappears. )

Perhaps I should send him an anonymous link to my OKC profile.

 

[rewebster]

"He may be quite single and starved.. "

yeah--MB may be right--


-he surely needed someone to iron that shirt he was wearing in that video

I thought velvet owls and sock puppets were lovely. I didn't intend for it to be negative.

 

[rewebster]

"Well, he's clearly an acquired taste."


I've got tears running down my face

 

[Evo]

I thought velvet owls and sock puppets were lovely. I didn't intend for it to be negative.

I have to admit I do like the velvet owl, similar to Mel Torme, the Velvet Fog.

Ok, <puts 10 GOOBF cards back into kurdt's computer>

 

[Far Star]

I find him attractive, too. Engaging smile, intelligence. From the picture he appears to have a sense of frivolity. Let us not forget he's pretty darn good at what he does, and knows how to string words together in some meaningful way.

Even if he's taken, of another orientation or otherwise engaged, what the heck. The dialog
isn't likely to be dull if he's reasonably well rounded.

Guys, you got to give us SOME credit. *<)

Evo- he's nuts not to get in touch (insert "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" as background"). You're a beauty, inside and out.

 

[rewebster]

OK---(finished, wiping the tears)

Evo, you had four choices on the poll----are there more (now)?

____________________________

evo---have you been emailing him this whole time?

Thanks for the encouragement and the nice compliment Far Star. You see the same things I see in him.

 

[rewebster]

I found out that one woman (now married) that I had met, had one of her male friends from another state, call me (supposedly randomly) and go through a 'list' of questions for some kind of 'random sampling' questionnaire---

Probably wait until hell freezes over and he finds this thread.

rewebster- before the days of computers I've heard tell of reading the white page section of a major phone book to find an guys name or address. Okay, it was me. It worked. We dated. No happily ever after but it was worth the effort. A whole other thread, though.

Evo, you're welcome. I don't think you'll have to wait THAT long.

Did you know something about him and just tracked him down through the phone book?

 

[RetardedBastard]

Sorry to let you down evo but I was only kidding when I said I knew his lab assistant.
But if you want his home address and #, it's quite easy to find... in case you didn't already know. Perhaps you could send him a personal letter via postal mail. Or even buy one of his books and ask him to autograph it for you. You could arrange to have it shipped via DHL, prepay for the envelope ofcourse to save him all the hassle. I bet all his OTHER stalkers contact him via email, so you would really stand apart :)
