Post #198,739 by bionerd 3/15/05 10:28:56 AM Reply	Well, yes But also as in "Go Lori, go Lori, you're the woman!" At least that's what I was saying to myself after he asked me out. It's like, "How much more black could this be?", and the answer is none. None more black.
Post #198,786 by ben_tilly 3/15/05 1:44:27 PM Reply	Well, good luck again Just remember the unfortunate truth, if he's single, there is a reason. Try to figure out that reason and decide whether it bothers you. If it doesn't, then go for gold. If it does, try not to be too disappointed. This is, after all, only your first date after deciding to search more aggressively. Incidentally, going out on a limb, would you be Lori Dillard, aka the woman on the far right at [link\|http://www.msu.edu/unit/iih/IIHNEWSLETTER/Sept03/MTC/MTC-farewell-teachers-YF.jpg\|http://www.msu.edu/u...l-teachers-YF.jpg]?

Post #198,807 by bionerd 3/15/05 2:59:23 PM Reply	Nope, that's not me. I dont look at all like that woman. And although I really do appreciate your cautionary statements- quit raining on my parade, Ben!!!! You sound like my Mom- the first date I had after the divorce my mother said, "Are you sure you want to go out with him? He's divorced." Uh- hellloo? It's like, "How much more black could this be?", and the answer is none. None more black.
Post #198,813 by ben_tilly 3/15/05 3:17:37 PM 3/15/05 3:19:05 PM Reply	Well it was a pretty random guess I just googled for Lori at Michigan State University involved with developmental biology and that was one of the few Lori's that I came up with who seemed to be at MSU. About my cautions, I'll knock them off. It is just my style to incline to pessimism so that I get an upside surprise. :-) Cheers, Ben I have come to believe that idealism without discipline is a quick road to disaster, while discipline without idealism is pointless. -- Aaron Ward (my brother) Edited by ben_tilly March 15, 2005, 03:19:05 PM EST Expand All History
Post #198,961 by bionerd 3/16/05 10:18:25 AM Reply	Ahhh... The old "never expect much and you wont be disappointed" philosphy. Dont worry about sounding like my Mom. It's nice to know I have someone looking out for me :-) It's like, "How much more black could this be?", and the answer is none. None more black.
Post #198,855 by boxley 3/15/05 7:52:59 PM Reply	well you can always use the art of lowering expectations well ma, he aint Clint Eastwood but he claims to change his shorts at least once a week. Thats a bonus! then you can be surprised when he turns out to change them twice a week, (as long as he doesnt try to change them with yours) good luck again. thanx, bill All tribal myths are true, for a given value of "true" Terry Pratchett Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free american and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 48 years. meep questions, help?
