:lol Just made me think of the Seinfeld episode where George gets robbed of his $6 or whatever was in his wallet.

I'm sure we'll hear about Kenben's date tomorrow. I saw my friend last week, and I could probably use some outside perspective on it, but I'll just keep my mouth shut.
Yep, it's coming shortly...

I would've liked to **** Felicity Jones. She's pretty cool for a British lady.
Me too, Ben, me too... :monkey1

How did your date go KenBenobi? Hope it was a good night

Almost there...

To hear Ken got laid in an act of infidelity? :wink1:
It's not infidelity if she isn't married, is it? Eh, perhaps... I don't care...

He's probably ball gagged and tied naked to the bed while her and the boyfriend clear out the basement :lol
:lol


Here's a one-word synopsis of the evening:
FANTASTIC

We had a really really REALLY good night. I've honestly never laughed so hard in my life. We talked about things you'd never think people would talk about, such as beaver secretions (seriously). It was the most fun I've had in a long long time... Now obviously nothing "happened" romantically. But she really had a good time, and we've already discussed making plans to go out again soon. I'm not getting my hopes up about anything. I'm sure I'm currently in the "friend zone" but I guarantee she's evaluating things. I could tell from the way she looked at me last night...

Note: I found out her BF lives 2 hours away. It's a long distance relationship... Those always have a chance of failure...

Also of note, our "relationship", no matter how you want to classify it, has motivated me to lose weight. I lost 10 pounds in the last week, and will continue to do so. If I lose 6 more pounds, I'll be at my lowest weight since 2005. I know this, because it was when I flew from Celebration III to London, when I worked overseas and attended the ROTS Premiere in Leicester Square. I know that's when I started to gain weight, due to eating on the company's dime.
 
I know we all want to talk about kenben's date, but I have to divert and ask a celebration question. Would anyone that is going be able to stop by the Del Rey booth and pick up their variant cover of the Thrawn book? If so, send me a PM.

My advice to you: Don't make a move on her. Don't be the guy she cheats on her boyfriend with. Don't let her boyfriend hate you for being the guy she cheated on him with. Don't be a guy that moves in on someone else's girl.

Do however, let it be known that you are up for a relationship with her.
Maybe next time you talk to her or go out, just drop a subtle "ya know if it weren't for your boyfriend I could totally see us as a couple.." Or "If you and (name of boyfriend) ever split up, I'd be glad to make you my girlfriend."
That way she knows 100% that you are up for a relationship. Ball is in her court to make a decision of what to do from there. But again, do not let her cheat on her boyfriend with you. Even if you are out, and the moment is right and you are about to kiss etc... don't! One, you will inevitably make her feel bad forever knowing she's the kind of girl to cheat on her boyfriend. And on the flip side, she'll always know you are the kind of guy that is willing to move in on someone causing them to cheat. Don't do it. If that moment is about to happen, tell her "I would love to kiss you right now... but I can't let you do that to yourself or to (boyfriend's name)... then hand her the phone and tell her to call her boyfriend and break it off and you'll be glad to make out with her the rest of the night. :lol But seriously. Be the good guy. Doing that will only up your good guy stock in her eyes.

Also, your line "I've honestly never laughed so hard in my life." Really hurts.... we've hung out numerous times Kenben... I call BS! :mad: :pfft: :wink1:
In any case, glad you are still on the weigh loss train and can't wait to see ya next month at C2E2!

This is pretty much my game plan to a tee! Well, except for handing her the phone and making her call her BF while I watch. That would just be cruel... I couldn't put her on the spot like that. Believe me, I have never attempted to steal a girl away before, and never imagined that I would ever try such a thing. But I have to. If I don't try, I know I'll regret it for a long, long, time... There is clearly a connection between us. And she's said she wished that she had met me sooner, which to me means "before she started dating xxxxx." I certainly wish I had met her long ago...
I already know what I'm buying her for her birthday, which is coming up in 2 months (yeah, I know, I know, I'm planning ahead too far). But there's 2 items I simply must get her. One of them is a stuffed beaver...

No time for one of my epic TL;DR posts, so I'll just say punkg42 is wise. You're in dangerous waters, and you know my opinion ad nauseam already -- but that being said, do what he says and *don't be that guy*, and *don't make her that girl*.

And at least she'll know you don't just want to be friends, at which point she can make an informed decision instead of being smoke-screened.

The handing her the phone part is the comedy of it all... chicks love to laugh. :D Do it as a joke... if she grabs the phone and does it... all the better. :lol
Her saying she wishes she would've met you sooner is her subtle way of saying she would date you I think... testing the waters so to speak... so like I said, if you haven't said something similar back to her, do so. She's not going to jump ship if she doesn't know for certain that there is a life boat waiting for her.

This is true. :D :goodpost:

Yeah, I bet you want to stuff her beaver. :lol
 
Oddly, that truly isn't even on my mind. I really want to kiss her, more than anything, but haven't even dreamed of going that far. It's weird. Apparently I care about her too much, to want to take advantage of her...

My little Kenben is all grown up. :)
