Usually on forums it’s Fixed That For You and happens when you quote them but alter the quote.  Of course it also has the meaning you said.

I used to smoke pot and go to class.  

Sneak in ten minutes late with a bullsh*t excuse.  

Slink down low at my desk.  

Pray to god nobody asked me any questions.

I was the best teacher ever.

I feel pretty glued to my phone too.  I’m not proud of it, but it’s true.

I wouldn’t worry about not getting a text back until it gets to at least 12 hours though.  There are plenty of occasions when it’s not appropriate to be on a phone, and there are also times when the battery dies and I don’t have a charger.

You want a quote?  Haven’t I written enough already???

I actually downgraded from an iPhone to a ludite Samsung and am more productive now than ever.  I also have many more actual conversations, because texting is kind of a b!tch.  Overall, I think it has improved my quality of life, although I do miss having mobile Pandora.

Tapped  it.

I actually really like her. 

I dunno why, even if things still clearly seem like shes into me to, I still doubt whether she is, not sure why that is.

details please on the tap.

Not classy.  If you really like a woman, you protect her reputation.  

And really, you should protect her reputation anyway, unless she’s done something truly horrific.

I think we can all agree she has ^

But on a serious note, I’d vote it’s okay since he’s talking about a lady on a forum in which none of us know who he or her actually is.  It may as well be fiction.

Self-loathing?

Don’t over-analyze.  It sounds like you two are off to a good start, so keep seeing her.  Be wary of gushing, of course.  Problems arise when one person realizes that the other likes them much more than vice versa.  When you get to six months, then you can start talking about what you mean to each other.

Did you cry afterwards?

I enjoy the vicarious fun of tpCFA’s adventures too, but I think if tpCFA told this girl “all the guys on AF were so happy when I told them that I ‘tapped you,’” she would be horrified, even if he said “but don’t worry, none of them actually know who you are, hr2cfa”

My point is that if you actually care about her, then you would care that she would be horrified…

…particularly since the reveal was presented as “…tapped it,” rather than “I saw her and we had an awesome night and I am very very happy.”

20 years from now, when they are on their 5th child’s bar mitzvah or whatever equivalent, maybe she’d be amused, but probably not right now.

-

Anyway, tpCFA is free to post what he likes about his adventures, and we are free to enjoy them.  

But one day, when he meets someone he really likes and she finally lets him “tap her,” he’ll know that the right thing to do is to make her seem like a catch, and not a notch.

I’m not trying to be holier-than-thou here… it’s just that eventually one learns it is a privilege to play the gentleman to a deserving woman… if she’s a good woman, she will love you for it, and joyfully repay your efforts manyfold over.

^ Agree bchad, but this is an anon forum.

Be sure I don’t use such terms with my friends regarding her.

FrankArabia's picture

so we getting any details or what? how did you manage to do it? show us your blueprint. 

transferpricingCFA's picture

no blue print, I mean, Id seen her a couple of times before already, so it just led to it.

Met her at a club later in the night, I guess was always likely to lead to going home together.

transferpricingCFA's picture

So why is it, I have seen this girl again, and she made me dinner and I stayed the night, that I still can’t get a handle of just how into me she is yet?

CFAvsMBA's picture

Nigga please! It doesn’t take a Cfa analyst to figure this out. 

transferpricingCFA's picture

???

Hmm, lets’ see.  She gave it up on the 3rd date, made you dinner and gave it up again on the 4th date……she obviously can’t stand you.

You can fondle the cube, but it will not respond.

bchad's picture

Why wouldn’t she be into you?  You stayed the night AND she made you dinner.  If I understand correctly, that’s sex AND food, which is pretty much everything a man really wants in life (with the possible exception of video games).  She likes you.

Now, maybe what you’re uncertain about is whether at some point she will change her mind.  And women do do that.  So this is where “doing things” starts to turn into “a relationship.”  A realtionship means: she does things that you like; you do things that she likes.  

Just make sure you spend some time figuring out what she likes.  Then, do as many of them as you feel are realistic.

^ I think you are spot on. I worry that she will change her mind, as “women do do that”.

Actually, this time there was no sex! That time of the month unfortunately….

What I thought was weird was that we were going at it a bit in the bed, and then she went down on me, but did it for a bit and then stopped, adn said “do you want me to stop” and Im like no of course not, but you know I feel bad when I cant return the favor. To which she said you dont ahve to, but didnt continue!!

But I dunno also, Im jsut used to the girl being more proactive suggesting meeting and when to see again and that, and feels like its much more me.

FrankArabia's picture

transfer, would you consider yourself a cool guy?

transferpricingCFA's picture

obviously.

FrankArabia's picture

i’m starting to think so too……

transferpricingCFA's picture
