So it sounds like the 21st works for pretty much everyone, can we decide on a time and a place?

My experience was similar to d1rtylittlesecret's. At some point I thought the desire to gain weight was something I would never tell anyone in person. Eventually I told a best friend, and then my first girlfriend, but I wasn't very good at explaining it and neither of them really understood why it was a big deal for me to tell them, and I never spoke of it again with either of them. I had trouble expressing that it was a sexual thing. In high school, I almost always thought of it as something wrong with me that I had to fight against.

I feel like the gender ratio around here is actually less unbalanced than it used to be. That's what I'm remembering based on years of sporadic chatroom lurking, at least.

The gender imbalance itself could also be responsible for why girls around here tend to keep quiet. If a girl starts talking about things that could draw attention from boys, the number of responses to that can be overwhelming (and in some cases, horrifying) to the point that she never wants to speak up again.

I can rarely do Saturdays. Thursday the 11th was no good? Sunday the 21st might be okay for me too.

You may have picked the one day that week I won't be free, but I will know for sure when it's a little closer. I'd love to meet people finally.

I'm a fan of that flag, myself.

Recent transplant to Connecticut here.

I don't see many movies, but Blue Jasmine was phenomenal.

I don't make as much of an effort to check out new music as I used to, but Middle Class Rut - Pick Up Your Head was pretty great.
