For shame, man, > haven't you ever had a friend as a date for a formal occasion? Repeatedly. Including this time. She's a colleague, and I haven't been intending (much less expecting) anything in that direction to happen. I simply presumed Benct meant that kind of company at home since his ladder of success seemed to build to a climax. ;-)
Did it? Shame on me! ;-) ---------- To: romconlang@yahoogroups.com, romconlang@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [romconlang] Re: Days of the week (fi: Translation exercise) At 14:35 1.12.2003, Jan van Steenbergen wrote:
Neither would I, to be sure! I'm far from proverbial, not particularly shy, definitely not a physicist, and maybe be bit geeky, but still: neither would I. Myself, I am attractive only to a very specific type of women (the kind that enjoys the company of people with lots of weird knowledge, generally), and strange enough this is exactly the only type of women that can really attract me. And this is usually not the kind of women that would say "Yes, let's go!" to the aforementioned proposal anyway.
Just like me. I can certainly get momentarily attracted to other kinds of women, but that's definitely not the kind of thing I'd act on! I'm reportedly good-looking, but still very geeky, and then I have my disability working against me.

Me too. Hey, but there is nothing wrong with that! On the contrary, I don't believe very much in relationships that were romantic/sexual from their first. The most important basis for a solid relationship should be friendship, not hormones.
Definitely. Me and my not-actually-wife were friends for years before becoming romantically involved. True enough I was crazy about her from early on, but she was a mother of four and had me squarely (I thought) in the "buddy category". I was her babysitter's son[*] and a certified geek to boot. [*] We became friends because I at one time was standing in as baby sitter and geekishly managed to lock her out of her apartment when I was going home, with her twin sons locked inside. We ended up on a nightly tram ride to her sister's place to get the extra key, her wearing my coat because she was still wearing a waitress uniform. People can meet in the weirdest ways! ---------- To: romconlang@yahoogroups.com, romconlang@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [romconlang] Re: Days of the week (fi: Translation exercise) At 15:02 1.12.2003, John Cowan wrote:
