Anyone want a date? I'm going fucking insane talking to my 1 year old every night.

Sincerely,

	What did you have in mind? Dinner? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	abigailknightly 2014-09-13 08:22 pm UTC (link)
	Dinner, dancing, alcohol, you name it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	double_0_seven 2014-09-13 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	Well, how about we start with dinner, and aim for all three? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abigailknightly 2014-09-13 09:05 pm UTC (link)
	How about we start with names and then do the dinner thing? I'm Abi. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, hello Abi. I'm James. Lovely to meet you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abigailknightly 2014-09-13 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	Lovely to meet you too, James. What do you do for fun around here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	double_0_seven 2014-09-15 10:07 am UTC (link)
	Not a great deal, so far. I'm still trying to get my head around this place. Perhaps I need to stop over-thinking things for a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abigailknightly 2014-09-15 07:39 pm UTC (link)
	I think alcohol is good for not-thinking. Though in my experience, it leads to some awkward situations. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	double_0_seven 2014-09-15 07:45 pm UTC (link)
	That is my usual go-to plan, admittedly. Only if you let the situations become awkward. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abigailknightly 2014-09-15 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	Do you know how to not make them awkward? That'd be super. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	double_0_seven 2014-09-15 07:57 pm UTC (link)
	Are you talking about a particular situation you have found yourself in, or just generally? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abigailknightly 2014-09-15 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	Oh just... general situations. You know. Things happen when you're bored and young. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	double_0_seven 2014-09-15 08:05 pm UTC (link)
	Indeed. Of course it depends on individual circumstances, but generally I find acknowledging it briefly but continuing to behave as before tends to work, as long as everyone has the same expectations etc. There is a fine line between pretending it never happened / making too much of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abigailknightly 2014-09-16 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	That generally hasn't worked, though. Maybe I'll try again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	double_0_seven 2014-09-16 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	Mm, I suppose it must depend on the other person, too. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	mr_eames 2014-09-13 08:25 pm UTC (link)
	Already? But we hardly know each other, my dear. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	abigailknightly 2014-09-13 08:27 pm UTC (link)
	That's the point of a date, isn't it? Getting to know someone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mr_eames 2014-09-13 08:41 pm UTC (link)
	Very true. Alright, I'll start. I'm Eames. Might I know your name? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abigailknightly 2014-09-13 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	Good to meet you, Eames. Abigail but you can call me Abi if you're coming on a date with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mr_eames 2014-09-13 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	Abi it is! And how are you? Other than dealing with impending insanity, that is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abigailknightly 2014-09-13 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	I'm... good. Trying to remember what the sound of adult conversation is but I'm getting there. How's your good self? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mr_eames 2014-09-13 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	As well as can be expected. I'm slowly learning the lay of the land, and working out the who's who and what's what of this island. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abigailknightly 2014-09-14 03:19 pm UTC (link)
	Does that take long? I've been here nearly a year and I still don't know people's names. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mr_eames 2014-09-14 04:35 pm UTC (link)
	I've been here just over a fortnight, so I'm hoping that it doesn't take quite that long. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abigailknightly 2014-09-14 07:29 pm UTC (link)
	Only if you're like me and ridiculously anti-social (Reply to this) (Parent)

	brothertopsycho 2014-09-13 08:27 pm UTC (link)
	I could go for a date. Do you have anything in particular in mind? I guess I need to get to know people around here anyway. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	abigailknightly 2014-09-13 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	How about we go bowling or something with a bit of action? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brothertopsycho 2014-09-13 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	They have bowling here? Or would that be through one of those doors thing? What do you mean with a bit of action? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abigailknightly 2014-09-13 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	There might be somewhere but I thought about getting some stuff and knocking it over with basketballs. An activity. Dancing, swimming, bowling, running... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brothertopsycho 2014-09-13 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	Improvised bowling huh? You really are bored. We can try your bowling with basketballs thing and then do something else if it doesn't exactly play out if you like? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abigailknightly 2014-09-13 08:52 pm UTC (link)
	I really am, new guy. I really am. Hey, I'm up for anything. Basketbowling it is. (Reply to this) (Parent)
