Ooooh, Shigeki lays the SMACK DOWN on dumbass at work! I'm sure he deserved it, and the others probably enjoyed listening to you grill him, too. How positively SEXXXXXXXY to hear you unleash your wrath!!!!!! I'm glad it was him and not me! Tee hee hee!

Hi Shigeki! Oh I missed commenting on your blog!! You're such a fun read every day!

OMG I have used that "I'll call you line" before. Some people get the hint, and some call you the next day going "I thought you were going to call me?" acting all seductive. Blech.

And here I was thinking you're all kind and humble when you speak Japanese. Or was it an English presentation?

Don't we love our colleauges at work - finance (for the lovely lunch), legal (for good conversations?) and others! For which you had your fangs out and ready to pounce on anybody at anytime as well! Time to get laid my friend! :-)

Look pretty and humble...don't want to see Shigeki san with wrinkles because of stress and anger :-) have a good day at work.....

Was the lunch with Finance Guy a date or just a lunch? I love lunch dates because you know that no matter how it goes it will only last for how ever long your lunch time is.

Clarification, please. You barely shoot your load, or barely speak your mind forcefully in a meeting?

Love your distinction on the haircut comment. Try this as a compliment. Say: "You look good...TODAY!"

And, I'm glad you sniff at your shoulder and not your crotch on the elevator :)

"Back to act pretty and graceful"....of course! How else could Shigeki do it? Always graceful...especially under fire ;) Well done with challenging the nitpicker. :)

Oh, am I the only person who says "I will call you" and actually mean it? if I don't want to meet someone again I just stay quiet or say "see you around"! lol!

Gayboydiary~ When I say I'll call you, I will call!! And I do use "I'll see you around" for people I don't really wanna see around. You have a hyper-elevated weekend shigeki!

If I am not keen on the second date, I would normally say 'see ya around' too. ;)

If there is any exchange of phone numbers and an offer to call made on my part, I will almost always follow up on it. But then again, I do not hand out my number or ask for others' numbers very readily.

I've never been much on sugar-coating what I think to others. Although I've been out of the dating game for a while, if I am otherwise unimpressed by the date's (pick one: behaviour/hygiene/attitude/other significant character issue) - I'd more than likely say something like "Sorry man, this probably won't work... bye-bye!".

Response adjusted for the occasion, of course. :)

The way I see it, if there are no allusions to where I and th date see each other, there is generally less hard feelings down the road.

Hi GaijinGirl,

hahaha. Well, I am sure he deserved it, too. Well, I don't like being violent verbally but I didn't say any inappropriate words even though I frequently do so outside of the work :-) Um.... if you treat me nice, I won't be evil for sure. :-) you have a pretty day!

Hi Will,

Well, that's alright as you have been stalking a hottie on the train. :) It doesn't necessarily have to be a date exclusively actually. It could be something you would say at the end of the company gathering or something. :-) I defeated him in Japanese. I can be very aggressive once in a blue moon. :-) Good evening!

Hi Ian,

I loved the finance guy very much. He looks geeky but not in a bad way. His outfit is very pretty, too. :-) Well, I just try to be more intellectual as all I deal with is computers. I wish I could get laid... huh... I try to but my magic is fading out as I already turned 30.... huh. You have a pleasant evening!

HI Cesar,

It was just a lunch. I am pretty sure he is straight. I keep my work very separate from my personal life so I don't think I could date anyone from work. Well, I almost did it once but I was stood up by him.... You have a wonderful day!

Hi Steve,

I frequently shoot my load and I barely speak my mind. :-) I hope it clears up. hahaha. That would be very sarcastic and I am sure I get shot to death if I made that obvious. But I will keep that in my mind. How would I be able to sniff my crotch? not that I am gonna try.... You have a gorgeous day!

Hi Mr. Brian,

Hahaha. Thanks very much. I would love to act pretty and calm even though my blood is boiling inside. :-) I guess i try to hide it very well. I hate that moron so I couldn't stand it anymore yesterday but I don't regret that I did it to him. :-) You have a fantastic day!

Hi Gayboydiary,

Welcome to my site. I see you are another visitor from U.K.! Yay for U.K. Well, I am not all that familiar with your country but I've been there. :-) Well, I am sure there are nice person who really mean what they say. :) You are a good dude. I am proud of you. You have a marvelous day!

Hi AJ,

That's a good approach, AJ. But sometimes, the messages cannot be interpreted the way you wants it. That's the sad part for subtle communication. But I like it :-) You have a wonderful evening! (well, it's not a weekend yet though)

Hi Ca va pas la tete,

That's good. I'd do the same but I am not sure as I haven't had a date for a very very long time... sob. You have a beautiful evening!

Hi Seekeronos,

well, i guess I could be more direct and forward when I say things in English but I always sugar coat what I say to others when I say in Japanese.... "Sorry, it's not gonna work" sounds really hard but I am sure it's very crystal clear. :-) You are a brave man. :) I like that. You have a fantabulous day!
