How Not To Pick Up The Female Avatar

I haven’t done a relationship post in quite some time and I know how much our readers like those. Tonight, I got a notecard from a friend of a conversation she just couldn’t believe.  I couldn’t either so I’ll share it with you with the identifying information stripped out of it.  My comments will be in italics.  Names were changed to Him and Her. He danced around her for about an hour before he spoke to her, she was waiting on someone so ignored him till her spoke to her.

Him: hello {her name}

Her:  Hi  How are you?
Him: fine, an u
Her: Just Wonderful!
Her: Kicking up some leaves tonight? {a reference to the safari theme at Club Rockaway}
Him: indeed
Him: yea so {her name}

Her: yes?  I’m just hanging out till my boyfriend {his name} turns up.  He’s on {a time zone} time so should be around after his supper.
Him: oh, ok so you have a boy friend
Her: yes, he lives with me now here in SL.
Him: oh, maybe you should update your profile, just a suggestion
Her: oh?
Him: so, me or some other guy doesnt waister their time
Her: Is it outdated now?
Him: with you and you dumb hat
Him: sorry, Im from the {some} coast
Her: I’m in {a state}
Him: and we dont like dumb stuff from {her state}, I dont mean you
Her: The safari hat is because of the safari theme tonight
Him: but just that podunk stupid shit
Her: I don’t normally dress like this
Him: yea sure

So he insulted where she was from and made fun of what she was wearing because it was a theme night at the club they were at and she dressed in theme…he did not.  A good start!

Her: What did I say to upset you?
Him: couldnt find anything to wear
Him: at the dollar store
Him: its not what you said, it just that dumb look on your ao
Her: ?
Him: and the hat
Her: Why are you all mad at me?
Her: My picks have pictures of {her boyfriend} in them..I wasn’t hiding anything.
Her: _Our House_
Her: I don’t think I was being misleading

Her: How was my dancing..wasting your time?  I wasn’t trying to pick you up.  I think that was your intention.

Yes, he was trying to pick you up and you just ruined that by mentioning a boyfriend.  How dare you!  So the Cassanova put you down for that. Is he suggesting you shop at a dollar store or that he does?


Him: hey, {her name}, want dont you cum with me to this other club
Him: and live a little before {her boyfriend} cums
Her: I’m fine right where I am.  He knows where I am.
Him: ok baby, you take care in your safe little world
Her: Thanks.  I love being safe!

The use of “cum” in place of “come” is just sooo romantic.  I can see why Romeo here is getting no where. He should have gave it up already.


Him: good, although, at some point in your life you oughta take a chance, you might like it and or need it
Him: see ya

Her: I did take a chance and I met {her boyfriend}.  He’s amazing so I got lucky.  Don’t want to risk losing him though.
Him: ok baby, whatever you want, Im not a player, like it sez in your bio, Im a one woman man, but finding that woman, thats the chanllenge
Him: why dont we do this, lets go on a date
Him: pre arranged time
Her: yes, it is…{her boyfriend} is like that too.
Him: ok, so why are you talking to me
Her: Because you got upset with me and I still have no idea why.

Now he wants to make a date with her after she’s clearly not at all interested in what he’s trying to sell her  and she seems bewildered that he is still trying. 


Him: i am rezzing a villa
Him: on some land i bought
Him: i will take you to dinner and dancing
Her: I have a house myself
Him: buy you things
Her: I’m not a material girl..I have my own Lindens
Him: oh, good, so lets go out

If you don’t succeed any other way…why not offer to just buy her outright?  I think he might have better luck with an escort that would probably be glad to bill him for her time.


Him: are you married?
Him: this is sl baby
Him: you can do what you want
Him: this is wher you can really experimentt
Her: But I am happy how things are now.
Him: in rl, who, knows, or carees
Him: cum, on just try it , i know you want to
Him: this is not rl
Her: Ummmm…I’ve been here longer than you have been. {she finds from his profile}

Him: sooooo
Him: so you are prejudice

Now she isn’t playing the game right because if she was..she would gladly rip off her clothes and jump on him, right?  And she’s against anyone with a rez date from August.  She’s not good enough for you, Romeo.


Her: So know SL is what I want it to be.  Happy with {her boyfriend} so I got that.
Him: ok this is going nowhere
Her: Right.
Him: you can be my friend
Him: if you want
Her: I can’t be moved when I am happy. 

Him: and if you want to call me you can
Her: {Her Boyfriend} is the same way…so it has worked well.
Him: Im at this jazz club right now
Him: and sadly there is no on here
Him: tho the band plays on
Her: Is it the one I used to work at?
Her: {names a club}?
Him: no,
Her: Oh there was never anyone there at this time either
Him: too bad

So he resorts to that good old back up.  “Let’s be friends.”  But then tries to lure her right into a date right after he mentions being friends.  Obviously, he’s looking for friends with benefits.


Him: there a re lots of places in sl
Him: like this
Her: Yes there are.
Him: so, {her name}, tell me about yourself
Her: {Her Boyfriend} has been in SL since 06, so has shown me some places I never even knew existed here.
Him: ooooo
Him: i think anyone can show you places
Her: Me?  I live in {a state and her marital status}

Him: di you ever go into space
Him: here
Her: yes
Him: you ever parachute
Her: yes
Him: you ever horseback ride
Her: yes
Him: ever see the dunes
Him: scuba
Him: parasail
Her: hang glided and white water rafted..scuba dived
Him: ever in abeer drinking contest at ocktoberfest in munich
Her: We do all sorts of interesting thing every night.  I like having someone to do things with.
Him: ok, well i will leave you alone
Him: do you guys have good sex
Her: *smiles*  Incredible
Him: oooo
Him: ok well your married

Sounds like she doesn’t really need you at all and is expressing that quite well but you still don’t get it, do you?  Has done a few things without you so far…seems like she’s doing pretty well for someone so dumb.

Him: but
Him: you have my contact info if you wanna get an ice cream or something
Him: collect moon rocks
Him: find the latest comet and ride it
Him: go for romantic cruise on the galaxy cruise ship
Her: But I’m a Dummy from {a state}, remember?
Him: yep, i remember
Her: K
Him: so, you gonna prove me wrong?  well, maybe you and
Him: {her boyfriend} come to a party at my villa
Him: once its rezzed
Him: ok sweety?
Him: take care
Her: Night

Ice cream…that explains it all..he’s just teleported in from the Teen Grid!  I’m surprised this guy was smart enough to download the Second Life client all by himself or did he?  When “Her” dropped this note card of this conversation on me she had no plans to ever speak to his avatar ever again and was amazed at the gall of this guy.  Can we see where he went wrong?   Why was he ever wasting his time with someone he thought was so obviously dumb?  A prime example of how NOT to pick up a female avatar.

Laurel’s Picks of Places to Go – Heavenly Rose Gardens

Heavenly Rose Gardens is a romantic place to dance and cuddle among the follage.  The dance floor is a bit damp being under a huge waterfall but it is worth it for atmosphere.  The music is the ever popular Slow Radio and the standard dances are available as well as newer ones like Swept Away, The Dip and Hot Salsa.

Stroll around the gardens to enjoy a cuddle or kiss among the flurry of tropical plants.  Plenty of private nooks for couples to find a bit of privacy for a snuggle or a romantic picnic.  Find one and call it your own for a few lazy hours.

 

 

Look for this stone formation then follow the red arrow in front of me  down to find a secret underwater cavern to dance and kiss in.  Also look behind the waterfalls…much fun to just to hunt and discover all the hidden places within the gardens. Enjoy!  http://slurl.com/secondlife/Rose%20Gardens/114/144/26/
