a hilarious read, but seriously, please help!

Pray do tell dear Hamster...

So help me out with the dating thing here, please. You mean to tell me women do not like it to be implied that they are stupid on a first date (or any other maybe)? Maybe this is my problem.

LMAO @ RD!

First, explain those acronyms to me please! I'm not a texter.

Second, for the sake of truthful reporting, he called me smart as well, many times.

Why was he so into sharing his job and analyzing you? If, indeed, he is looking for a romantic hookup, I think he needs to work on his bedside manner, and not the doctor kind!

Will do, gotta clean out the apartment now tho...

what a splendid pun!

And now we've got a LMAO @ bluemountains!
Or put it all together for a ROFLMAO.

(H-B: translation: LMAO = laughing my *** off
@= whoever you're directing the comment to
ROFLMAO = rolling on the floor LMAO. )

for explaining it IZ

Oh, and another thing. First, he got confused about the day when we would be meeting. I offered Saturday, he agreed, but then later he thought that it was Friday. But OK, it was spoken over the phone, fine. Then, he said that he did not know at what time we are meeting, but I had already written 6PM in an email - that was written word. Weird. Then, he found it hard to comprehend my oral speech, and said that well, of course, you are not a native speaker. I have lived in this country for 20 years, I came to this country having already been an English teacher at a high school, and I have always received nothing but compliments on my vocab (well, it turns out I have big holes - LMAO etc. but you are helping me with these, thank goodness) and pronunciation. Of the many jobs that I have had, one was tutoring English at a Sylvan Learning Center, here in California. What center director would have put me in front of the kids had my English been unclear? This is ridiculous. Maybe the restaurant was loud, maybe A. is hard on hearing a bit - there are many possibilities that have nothing to do with me.

Pretentious is the word - all in all, looking back, I find him pretentious.

Not sounding like a promising encounter

I starved my first child in utero. During the first, formative trimester of pregnancy. Sure, he was born at exactly the average newborn weight, on exactly the due date, so on the surface there was no harm done, and I did worse things to him later via emotional neglect etc. but if he ends up with a MI, I will always think that I contributed to it by depriving him of nutrients at a critical age.

I got pregnant by discontinuing the birth control pill without telling my boyfriend, but my mother knew and encouraged me (a sick relationship, I know). Then I got it touch with the father of my friend, who - the father - was an ENT doctor and I had always had ENT problems. Luckily, not anymore - let me go spray Flonase before I continue to write... So he consulted me and little by little he strayed from ENT topics. I do not have any recollection how the topic came up, but we decided that I should diet. I did not tell him that I was pregnant. I was myself ambivalent towards this pregnancy. It was like an experiment to me (sick, I know). He told me to eat raisins and other dried fruit while on a diet. I was in perfect shape, I have no clue why the diet idea even came up. But I was not a foreigner to this idea - even before, my father and his friend, who liked really thin women (I had an average build), encouraged me to diet, and I did, "successfully" to my thinness but not to my brain. One of the diets lasted for almost a year and resulted in a fainting episode, then I stopped. I also had a few binging episodes. In 2009 a notable neuropsychologist dubbed it all "Eating Disorder NOS, in remission". But going on a diet knowing that you are pregnant is the epitome of being sickly. So no, I do not think it qualifies as "stupid girl like many young people", I think it is a frank pathology.

Wow... I'm not even sure how to respond atm, but definitly won't back up stupid girl comments!

Purging a few times, not just bingeing. Bingeing and purging. Only a few times, but still. And starvation during pregnancy only for a couple of weeks, but still - those were formative weeks. I sure made up for it later on eating wisely, but you cannot make up in second trimester what was missed in first.

don't worry - pretty sure mother nature took what she needed from your body for the baby. I knew a couple who didn't use birth control, and after so many children, the woman LOOKED depleted, and one of the younger children didn't form teeth. so what i'm saying is, if you were healthy to begin with, you probably had stores of minerals etc in your body from which to draw. so many women spend the first 3 months puking anyway from morning sickness.

I'm gonna agree with Hankster on this one !
All I did the first 3 months of pregnancy with my daughter was hurl .. and she was fine and she's turning 21 this month

my son plays collegiate sports, so I am not worried in terms of physical health, just mental, but thanks

My daughter has recently been diagnosed with Bipolar ( not sure if shes I or II yet .... I do feel bad that its probably heriditary ... But thanks to my Tdoc I am no longer obsessing over it and beating myself up ....

A. wrote: "give me a call, if you would...".

Not like "thanks again for the wonderful evening, I would appreciate it we could talk again". give me a call, if you would... His mother must have failed at teaching him manners, or she never tried.

I do not have time for talking with him now, anyway.
