Call this thread whatever you want -- Dating Club, Dating for Singles, Let's Date... (I know you can come up with a more creative title for the subject line. What is it?)
Anyway, there've been suggestions to have a DATING thread of its own. Are you interested? If yes, let's post or reply here.
I have tried, but it seems to be difficult to find someone compatible with a single female in her late 30s who has Ph.D. and works in the academic. Are you with me? Where should we go from here? (i.e. how to connect singles on here? and suggestions for further communication, etc.)

That's a great idea!
Now, how could we possibly begin a thread that engages readers and posters alike? That has some staying power? It would need a great title. And a cast of regulars for whom there will be mutual support. Maybe a few quirky members who are always getting into scrapes.
I don't know. I don't think it'll work.

Me either. What a stupid idea. This is an academic forum. We don't have time for chatting about nonsense like "dating."

This is a thread about dating things, right? Because we've been needing one of those. I never can tell how old something is.
Things I have wanted to date in the past week:
The earth
Arcane college policies
That senior academic who should have retired a thousand years ago
The quiche lurking in the back of my refrigerator
Our next-door neighbor, who may just have aged prematurely
A sweater I seem to have owned for longer than I can remember (maybe even high school? scary)

Oseph....you are right and you make sense.
For your future comments, I insult very directly.

I know you can come up with a more creative title for the subject line. What is it?) HOTANDSTICKYMESS Are you interested? Only if its restricted to hotties. I have tried, but it seems to be difficult to find someone compatible with a single female in her late 30s who has Ph.D. and works in the academic. Why exactly ? Are all them males that work in the academic the gays ? Are you with me? I was, but now you're starting to looose me. Where should we go from here? Dennys ? {no way am I forking over cash until I confirm your PhD is from the Ivy and that you're smokin'} (i.e. how to connect singles on here? Epoxy Adhesive. Superglue if you are truly disparate desperate and suggestions for further communication, etc.) Can you speak the Latin ? It often gets me hot when girlz speak me the Latin. |

But listen. We aren't here to make things perfect. The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us. We're here to ruin ourselves and break our hearts and love the wrong people and die. The storybooks are bulls***! Now I want you to come upstairs with me and get in my bed! |

And since you're looking for advice:
There are three kinds of pipe: there's aluminum, which is garbage; there's bronze, which is pretty good, unless something goes wrong... and something always goes wrong; then, there's copper, which is the only pipe I use. It costs money. It costs money because it saves money.

That's good advice. On the other hand, y'know, you got them bad eyes, like a gypsy, and I don't know why I didn't see it yesterday. Bad luck! That's what it is. Is that all I'm ever gonna have? I should have taken a rock and killed myself years ago!

Well, since I was recently informed that all single women in their late thirties want to get married and have children, I need to get cracking.

Um, my read on this situation is that the OP is a single female in her late 30s who has Ph.D. and works in the academic. Alternatively, the OP may be one of your former students now working as a spammer and barricaded in a cubicle in a warehouse in Jersey City with nothing to pee in but a mayonnaise jar and whose water supply is now almost depleted |
