where is dofacc?
Just need a reminder that it would be really totally uncool and unRnap-like of me to go on a "date" with a guy when I am still hung up on previous guy.
Remind me that I wouldn't like it if someone did this to me.
Thanks

Why would it be a bad thing? I'd only see it as a bad thing if you went out multiple times and were like "lol nvm, I'm still hung up on dude."
Going on just one would help give some perspective and may help snap you out of being hung up on the guy. It's not exactly too healthy to stay hung up on someone when you have other good options being presented to you
But if you think the guy is cool and would be down to just hang out one night for shits n giggles to see how things would go, I don't see the harm. First dates always have that leeway for both parties to bow out if something doesn't seem right anyway.
If this is all about just a means to get over other guy and you aren't all that into this one, then no, don't do it. It would definitely be uncool.

Nah, he is not an "option" - I would just be going out with him because I can't have the guy I want so I have basically given up trying. All wrong. Totally uncool.
I knew it was wrong when I hit "post message" but now that I see it all typed out I can't believe I would even consider doing it. Thanks y'all.

^^^^^Hmmmm.....
I am not seeing that as "giving up." While things may not be working out with the one you are really interested in, there is no reason to roll over and play dead. If nothing else, you will need something/someone to lift you spirits.
My point is, it has been my experience that me "paying attention" to someone who has been left behind can do a lot to make their pain better. Making a sad person feel like they have value, and they are interesting in and of themselves, can be a very positive thing that you can do for this someone. I would argue that it is your turn to get some of this positive feedback, and you shouldn't brush it aside. You are a very worthwhile person, and you need to be reminded of this.
And along another line, catch me up, the potential persons of interests are like falling out of the woodwork suddenly?!?!?!?
Dang RNAP, take it and RUN WITH IT!!!!!
Or RAM WITH IT, as the case may be...

Yes, it would be great for him. He doesn't get a lot of offers of dates and I am sure I would be jolly company and he would have a great time (I am actually quite jolly when not grumbling away here on dxp!!) but I would feel icky because I am not there because I am interested in 'dating him' (or doing anything else to him for that matter.) That's not fair to him.
He is an Aries too, I might add. He doesn't need my pity. He needs to go out with someone who is genuinely into him.
We all do. Dammit. Anything less is just not good enough.
*****Who has persons of interest falling out of woodwork? I just have the same two for about a hundred years.
How could they BOTH hate me???

Well, points to you for not leading Mr. Third Choice on. We all have been on the receiving end of game playing, and those of us who are decent human beings would not do that to someone else.
As for the same old two, well, I suppose I haven't been paying attention, and didn't remember them. I do on the other hand know about being "hated." I expect your heart is in the right place,though. Even if you hurt, you aren't headed out to spread the pain. Doesn't help your pain any, but perhaps it will keep you from hurting your soul.

Oh, btw, I hope you appreciate that I had to take my heart out of that secret cryogenic storage facility to tell you this stuff.

I think one of my coworkers is crushing on me.
Oddly enough, we're birthday twins, ha. Don't plan on entertaining it though. He's a baby and I'm not going there/interested.
Just surprises me because it kinda came out of left field this last week.
Anyway, just comparing my "attracts all the wrong ones" to your "they hate me" scenario. I feel your frustration.

So, RNAP, you quit banging your head against the wall, or do I need to replace the batteries in my hearing aides?
