-So I told him to grow up, and he was like, “I don’t plan to.”
-Whoa. You have to take him at his word there.
-Don’t I know it.
– I’ve never understood guys who say shit like that out loud, like it’s some badge of honor. “I don’t ever want to grow up. I’m still exploring my childlike wonder.”
-It’s like, “Later, virgin.”
A Serious Expression
20th November 2006
Hey! I totally dated that guy!
I saw you at brunch on Saturday but opted not to be creepy-Internet-stalker-girl and accoust you at your table. I’m cool that way.
Instead, I leave creepy “I saaaaaaw you” comments on your blog.
It’s either a defence mechanism, or he really is as ignorant and stupid as the comment suggests.
In his defense, telling someone to ‘grow up’ is only in the middle school maturity grouping, as opposed to the third-grade response he leveled.
If it were my husband, he would have come back with something like, “I don’t grow up, I give it up, and when I look at you, I throw it up…”
He’s so cool…
I AM dating that guy.
Silly grownup, being a kid is for kids…and people who know better :)
I totally dated that guy too.
However, I must add that I reserve the right to explore my childlike wonder any darn time I please, thankyaverahmuch.
A guy being both a child and a grown up…would be more interesting.
MOOOOOMMM!! MightyGirl’s making fun of me on the Internet!
I married him. Sigh.
[but, he did finally grow up in the important ways. Now he’s just entertaining.]
I sent the baby cage link to a couple of co-workers.
One was upset because she thought it was real.
Another was upset because he realized that it wasn’t!
I totally commented on the wrong post, didn’t I?
Oh, the shame of it all…
i say that all the time. screw you guys.
I’m not sure there’s anyone BUT that guy left in the dating pool. Up here in Portland, Maine, they all hang out in the cute little orange Carharts at a bar called Brian Boru. When anyone of us takes to dating one of these guys, we like to refer to it like: “Oh her? Yeah… she got the Boru-bonic plague.” Because dating a manboy is easily comparable to getting the plague.
And yeah, I’m so not kidding.
