| Bad Dates Resulting in Picked Noses
Posted: 6/15/2009 2:30:40 PM | Date number three from this site and I'm thinking, "Yup. Picking my nose should do it. He'll finally realize he's been talking about himself the whole time. Well himself and his stupid car. And a nice cleaning of the nostrils should let him down easy....make him think it's me."
I just dont know how to tell a guy on a date that Im not interested. Instead, I end up trying to balance their feelings and my disinterest. Before I resort to drastic nose spelunking is there another way I could show that I'm not into it in a nice way? | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 2:38:05 PM | I usually don't focus on romance anyway on a first date. I just consider it two new friends going out to learn about each other - Hell, that's how it gets botched up anyway - going in with expectations of skyrockets and all that crap.
Friends first - that way nobody gets hurt anyway. Lots of people tell other people "I'm not interested in you". But few people tell others right off the bat "I don't want to be your friend". You've gotta be a pretty nasty customer for somebody to reject you as a non-romantic platonic buddy. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 2:39:44 PM | | LOL. there is no easy way to do that. You never know how's going to react in what way; all you can really do is hope they take it well. I've experimented as well. It seems like if I don't talk during the date they usually assume I don't like them. If after the date they try to contact me, they usually take the hint. Some guys have cornered me, and I've had to tell him why I didn't like them. Oh... the strangest guy I had to avoid was a guy who tried to kiss me. I believe I made a face that read, "I'm disgusted by your kiss!!!" and he dove in anyway; I turned my face and he got my cheek. I took off running after that. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 2:40:22 PM | Just tell them they're really nice and all.....just for someone else.
Or bring a large mirror...and when they keep talking about themselves, just pull it out and let them look into it and say...."I think they're more your type."  | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 2:46:25 PM | | If he's really like that, then you might be surprised at how few feelings he has to balance. Or to put it another way, no matter how you break it to him, he'll think it's you anyway. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 2:51:16 PM | I once knew a kid who put their finger in their nose and could never get it out again.
Oh, wait, no. It was my mother who allegedly knew that kid. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 2:52:40 PM | It really is best to tell him... (love the mirror suggestion, though ...  )
BUT...
How about:
Answering your cell, repeatedly. Doesn't have to ring out loud; let him assume it's set on vibrate only.
Start yawning. If he snaps out of self-absorbtion long enough to ask if you're tired, say, "No."... he can then guess you're bored stiff.
Or, wait a minute... !
If you want to make it "it's me, not you" thing... try telling him (in relation to his car braying) You feel women are hotter when driving whatever type of car, to the extent that you've begun fantasizing about going gay, and that in his carrying on about cars has brought you one step closer to seeing it through?

Posted: 6/15/2009 2:58:59 PM | "... is there another way I could show that I'm not into it in a nice way? "
Yeah. Marry him. That'll learn him.
Women have practiced this tactic for millennia in this male-dominated world.
The punishment is severe, the men capitulate to their fate of perpetual marital domestication, and they cut the grass every week, or shovel the snow, and they appear to be agitated (to say "happy" would be a stretch) when they are given a chance once a year to bbq, and a few other chances to watch the game.
As a man, I tell you, watching a game is much more boring, also to men, as for you women to listen to our endless stories about ourselves and our cars during the first few dates. We get agitated during the playoffs, because we foresee that this slightly negative pastime, that appears in contrast to be a helluva good time, but in reality is nothing more than a little let-up from the monotony of marital domestication, is going to end, and it's back to even more marital domestication.
A man's best friends is a dog, because they have a huge underlying motif of fate running in common: They are both hunters who have been domesticated.
In a little while, when the slow-dancing, heavy pendulum of history swings in the opposite direction again, and women will return to their status of being the dominant gender, like during the 95,000 usque 100,000 years before the agricultural revolution, the future generations of women will also have a way of showing the men that the women are not into them, by marrying them. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 3:02:58 PM | "How about a really dastardly fart?
The kind that will clear a room."
You women are so versatile and superior. A man could never fart on command or on demand. Belch, maybe, a few have learned how induce artificial burping. I never have. I can pick my nose on demand.
Farting is a naturally occurring bodily function, that can not be imitated. Sounds, maybe. But the real essence*, no.
----------
"Essence" means "spirit", "vapour", "fragrance", actually. | |

Absolutely. If you start picking your nose, ears, or toes; or if you start to belch, fart, or barf; he might stop in his tracks, look at you with big, googley eyes, and break down and cry out, "finally! A woman of my dreams! Pick me, hot mama, and my nose! come to my house -- I've been saving my farts for two years now, to share them with a girl... just like you."
---------
" (in relation to his car braying)"
Rose, you're brilliant AND sparkling.
What's to "bray"? I could look it up but I'm too lazy.
Your suggestion is brilliant -- but I sitll would like to improve on it, by saying that it's crazy to go out and spend all that money on a cell phone. Just reach into your purse and imitate you're picking out a phone, then go through the motions. He will NOT look for the phone in your hand. Or you could just talk all of a sudden as if on a phone. It will throw your vis-a-vis, who will either realize (falsely) that you've got a phone call and you have the latest of blue-teeth; (flash them on him! for better effect) or else he will realize (to me undeterminedly for truth value) that you're delusional and are talking to the voices in your head.
Either way, you win. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 3:13:08 PM | Do what biker chics and guys do. Put your finger on the opposite nostril, press it closed, then blow. The luggy will fly about 6 feet away. Then repeat by closing the other nostril, blow.
If he is not a cyclist, he will be extremely disgusted. If he bikes, he will be in love with you.  | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 3:28:12 PM | Funny thing happened the other night. I was sitting at a restaurant having a good meal.
That's when I noticed this girl picking her nose. The guy she was with obvously realized that she was unable to carry on an intelligent conversation. So he did what any smart person would do. He had a conversation with the only intelligent person at the table. Him self.
I've seen it happen when two people get together and they are from very different worlds. One is wrapped up in all of their friends drama or chaos and never seem to be able to participate in a conversation with out talking about "everyone" they know and all of their problems.
Then the other person being worldly and educated is left listen to the other babble on for ever or they just take the chit chat over and do the talking.
What really sickened me was the girl actually ate what she dug out. Hope he didn't go in for a kiss goodnight! I think thats the last time I go to "Chucky Cheese" for dinner! | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 3:45:39 PM | Do you speak with these guys for any length of time before you meet them? Enough to know you get on well and enjoy each others' conversation?
I wouldn't meet someone I didn't really enjoy chatting with ... at the very least, I always figured I could count on an evenings enjoyable conversation even if we didn't spark romantically. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 3:53:14 PM | Well OP,
Before I resort to drastic nose spelunking is there another way I could show that I'm not into it in a nice way?
That's one way to kill things... just as long as you're not chowing down on any 'gold' you find...
But really... just say "You're a nice person, but I'm just not feeling any chemistry between us. I had a nice evening. Good bye"
That's what I've done before anyway... | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 4:05:52 PM | Please don't do anything so sick and disgusting.
Just grab your purse, tell him you're going to the bathroom, and climb out the bathroom window. That's way nicer and you won't have people in the restaurant puking on their food. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 4:07:00 PM | One woman I met the other day told me that what she does in those situations is to say, "Excuse me, but I've got to go home and shave my cat's ass."
But if you feel that's a bit too harsh, and you just can't bring yourself to say, "Look, no offense but this just isn't working out so I'm going to leave," why not use the tried and true: "I'm sorry, but I seem to have developed this awful headache, and I really must go home to rest." The guy will get the idea, believe me, and he'll appreciate your sparing his feelings with a white lie like that.
And if he's too obtuse to understand that, you can always use the line about your cat. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 4:07:34 PM | I don't know whom you've been dating, and to whose stories you've been listening, Sparkling Brilliant Red Rose With Two Thorns, but it used to turn me on to no limit when I saw a woman's entire body behind the wheel. Any woman who was seated in the driver's seat became 10 times (not ten points) better than without sitting there. An instant winning for any woman who was at least a "1".
And I did tell about this phenomenon to every womb, dyke, and hairy.
Then I turned gay and the whole point became mute. (*)
