Meetup report: Girl was real, not a hooker, didn't die, had tons of fun. She's 100% hosed in the head about dating and clearly just got crushed by someone. Just a breathtakingly deep well of cynicism, it was weirdly easy to identify with.

So do you keep going knowing the massive ups and down (and downs and great sex) or do you cut ties now and save your year from now self a ton of headaches.

Oh don't worry, she decided she liked me way more than she thought she would so she doesn't know if we should hang out again because it's too good and she'll want to date me but she "doesn't date". Seeing her once more is going to be difficult enough, not too worried about the crazy yet.

Sounds like you had a good time, just don’t get to a point where you’re both so negative about dating it ruins any potential you’d (or someone else would) have in the future.

I still use the wine in a can trick.

I was Charlie for Halloween once and I was drinking wine from a can and eating pumpkin pie filling out of a tin of cat food. Everybody fell for the pumpkin pie trick. Also I pranked myself by thinking "oh I've only had five cans I'm good" when I didn't do the math that that was like 15 beers on an empty stomach within an hour and passed out.

E: One of my favorite Always Sunny episodes that hasn't been mentioned was Who Got Dee Pregnant. It has one moment that was the hardest I've laughed at TV in my life.

Also The Gang Cracks the Liberty Bell is good.

I have no idea how to start this personal statement for my grad school application. The application doesn't have a letter of intent so that's throwing me off a bit. The admissions person said it doesn't have to be flowery and to keep it short and focused. I am talking to her again tomorrow, but I want to have something to work with before I do. Do I write about an actual life experience? Some lame rear end work project? :iiam:

Just keep it casual and never do things that can be construed as remotely romantic. Or at least that's what I would do. I've never been in that situation before.

I wish I had good advice for getting into grad school, but unfortunately I wasn't accepted in the 3 schools I applied for, though granted the problem was less bombing the GREs (which I was told was not that big of a deal from the profs I wanted to work with), it was more Paleontology depts are only given enough money for like 1 RA/TA. Which is kind of crazy because what else is Montana State University got going for it other than geology programs? Or University of Utah for that matter. Really they told me they cared more about personal statement, letters of recommendation, and GPA (granted I also had barely a 3.0). Man why does academia have to be such a difficult thing to get into? Why can't I be put in a lab, not have to worry about grades, and just do research on ancient bones?

I'd use a combination of both. Say what you've done in the past (work and/or personal, maybe people you've spoken to) and why it makes you want to go to grad school. Then why theirs is a good fit for you.

I can never tell what they'll construe as romantic and I'm not going to suddenly stop opening doors for women or anything. I won't get flowers or take her to fancy dinners or anything though.

Write about something that you know well, or have strong feelings about. You'll want to be as specific as possible. Don't try to include every single reason they should accept you. "Short and focused" is exactly right.
