i have found my match

[Hooahguy]

today i met my match. i am sure of it.
she loves metallica and iron maiden, and even plays guitar! shes from the UK, and will be joining my grade in August.
match made in heaven, no?

by the way, no dice with that girl i mentioned earlier who flirted with me a lot. turns out she does that with a lot of guys.
but it doesnt matter, i found someone better.

[Husar]

You probably mean the other girl was a match and this one's a lighter?

I thought finding your match meant you found someone who can beat you but now I cannot find any references to that?

I wouldn't get overly excited yet, excited yes, overly no, you just met her today, tomorrow she might tell you of her boyfriend and you'll have to open a completely new thread about how to get rid of him.

Hey, you came back? Niiiice, this is so fun!

And that's a very nice thing, but I'm the kind of guy that puts a bit more value on looks, you know?

She hot?

??? Lol, sweeeet. Did she play you?!

[Subotan]

I know loads of British girls who like Metallica

[Peasant Phill]

Apart from shared interests, or at least similar taste in music, does she seem interested?
Best not to get overly exited like Husar said. Don't pin yourself on one girl you don't know very well, be open for others too. Love (for lack of a better word) sometimes comes from unexpected places.

Hell yes! ^_^

I'm the kind of guy that has trouble believeing that, you know?

Metalliwho? Seriously, may be a mental blank I know they're a band and I know they're big, but I have no idea what any of their songs are.

So very true. You don't even have to share anything in common. Then a few years later they bugger off to England.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Good for You, Hooahguy! It's time to settle down, get some loans what even your children will keep paying back to the bank, 2-3 kids etc.

Looks like Hus called it

[Hosakawa Tito]

Spring is in the air. Love the one you're with.

[A Nerd]

I don't know how many times I heared 'I have a boyfired.' (one time I said 'I don't mind'...but it didn't work). Anyway...perhaps I just am ugly or have bad breath. Make sure you bathe and floss your teeth! You'll probably be in like flint then!

[Husar]

I'd still like to know whether "I was the best at tennis, but now I've found my match."
can mean "I was the best at tennis, but now I met someone who can beat me at tennis."
in addition to "I was the best at tennis, but now I am married and my wife has forbidden me to play and since I depend on her for love I have to obey" ?

[Hax]

God, don't even start it. The only girls that like me listen to metal, mainly. This is a real conversation:

She: "Ah, so you listen to The Band? That's awesome!"
Me: "Uhhuh! Have you heard of them?"
She: "Yeah, of course! My father listens to them...he's 60 ;D"
Me: "..g-great, thanks"

So whenever we talk about music, I just go on and on about CCR, The Band, The Who, BTO, Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc. I mean, I can't even pronounce all of those Finnish names. :_: Although we usually do share the love for folk music (although they don't all admire Huun Huur Tu the way I do).

[Cute Wolf]

Hell yes! ^_^

so Hooahguy, bring her in front of computer and look for a probability that she will log in to this org as secura.....

[Andres]

Hell yes! ^_^

Expect to get love letters from Hooahguy

[Secura]

Expect to get love letters from Hooahguy

I don't genuinely love them, I can just appreciate some of their songs like One or Enter Sandman... in fact probably just those, haha.

I attended Leeds Festival in 2008 where Metallica were the headlining act for the Friday night; I chose to go with a "friend's" choice and watch The Cribs instead. In hindsight I should have gone with the once-in-a-lifetime chance of Metallica... I just couldn't tolerate the crowd there! xD

[Subotan]

I do like Egotrippi

Yes it can. Though 'met' is more common than 'found'.

In like flint? Like, making a fire? I dunno about you, but I'd rather be in like Flynn.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

In like Flynn

Meaning

To be quickly and/or emphatically successful, usually in a sexual or romantic context.

Origin

This phrase is commonly said to be a reference to Errol Flynn, the Australian film actor.

That's like saying "I went to Chicago once" "How ironic. The girl I'm talking about is from Chicago".

well. only one way to find out.
Secura, are you moving to ATL with your family in the next few months?

[Husar]

That's great indeed.
Now you know you have something to talk about with her dad.

Yes it can. Though 'met' is more common than 'found'.

Thank you.

[A Nerd]

Nitpicking!!!!! (pet-peeve of mine)!!! Why you try and make me look dumb!? :(

edit: or making it more apparent...

[Secura]

I guess that's Atlanta, right? No, I'm not.

[Hooahguy]

then i guess you arent the lucky lady...

[Peasant Phill]

... the once-in-a-lifetime chance of Metallica...

That's what I thought when I went to watch them at Werchter festival. And then they came the next year, and the next year and the next.
IMO they're good to watch once for the show but not good enough anymore to follow them around. The guys are aging and I'll only watch 15-minute-solos-while-the-others-take-a-breather-backstage for so many times.

[Strike For The South]

Dude you should marry her

[Secura]

Hahaha, you're not to my 'specific' tastes anyway, treacle... but that doesn't mean she can't be a lucky lady! Good luck! :P

I'm glad I saw The Cribs instead, then!
