Improviser Dating (It's not what you think)

beatsweetheart · Post by **beatsweetheart** » August 22nd, 2012, 10:45 pm

You may know me, and therefore, know I LOVE parties. I also love improv. And improv parties. And improv shows. And the Dog and Duck. But I still feel like I know too little about y'all. Or too much and talked to you too little.

I have found (and been told) that I am somewhat guarded at first meeting, and especially at parties (though I have a blast). I make friends and connections best one-on-one. The only introvert improvisor? I'm guessing not.

So I would love to go on an improvisor date with you. This could involve, but is not limited to: coffee, mini golf (in the spirit of OOB), swimming, dog-walking, cat-walking, dinner, drinks, tennis, tennis watching, Downton Abbey watching, acting out Game of Thrones, costume shopping, music, etc. Anything you might do on a date. Because I want one-on-one time with so many people.

So email me. Facebook me. Stalk me, if you so wish. I am free every day after 3.

P.S. I know everyone is busy. I know you may think I already know you well enough. These are both not legitimate excuses.
P.P.S. This is almost as nerve-wracking as asking someone out on an actual date.
P.P.P.S. I will have to respectfully decline Improv Assassins until I am dead. Or win.

this is such a loveable / bold / cool thing! More of this!

Ellen while I hope not to derail your outings-seeking, I'd like to put forward that introversion is more common than you'd think. I am definitely an introvert in the sense that being alone is how I recharge my batteries. I love writing and drawing and reading and blah blah blah. Going to bars and gatherings drains my energy rather than boost it, if you will!

I had a job where I talked on the phone all day, and at night I just wanted to merge with the floor of my apartment. Talking! Blech!

Sure, I might come across extroverted over the internet. But what does that tell you? This face-to-face hangout proposie thing is a super awesome Call To Action and wish I could take you up on it ... if not for being 1500 miles away at the moment.

SOMEBODY JUMP IN!!! Be my surrogate Bumper Boater!

So tempted to start a thread titled "Improvisor Dating (It's EXACTLY what you think)"

Super cool idea, Ellen! I am always looking for movie going buddies. I esp. enjoy animation flicks -- every thing from Disney to Brothers Quay. This is an open invite to the AIC as well.

Also, I love riddles.

What demands an answer, but asks no question? Highlight here for the answer: "a telephone"

You never want to endanger your actors, for two reasons:
1. it's not nice,
2. it will slow you down.
