So did you at least KNOW her beforehand?  Just wondering what made you ask her
out...

Why?  He doesn't want a ***y console.  What's not mature in that?  The guy
can do whatever he wants.  The original poster asked others if they would do
such a thing.  He said he would never own a console for anything.  It's his
choice.  Whatever cool X thing might be, you don't necessary need it.

It's an EGO thing , human beings are strange like that,we develop loyalties
to things like videogames( GPL versus N4) and certain ***
systems(Nintendo versus Sony), PC's versus consoles. If we love Chevys then
Fords are crap.We set up hard fast simplistic rules about what is always
good and what will always be inferior. It keeps our lives simpler to have
rules of thumb, however ridiculous they may be . PC's GOOD , Consoles BAD.
If that's what works for you then great.  But to dismiss games that other
people are raving about without ever playing them for an extended period,
just because they are on a console is short sighted, but obviously your
choice.

met her 'bout 3 months previously.  friend of a friend.  saw her now
and then at parties.  rarely had a conversation before then.

one night we were friends.  next day going out.  just asked her out
because a this other guy thought we were a couple.  i thought i'd give
it a bash.  no regrets :)

I learned the English language by Brit-type teachers.  I "ise" my words (and
I take pride of it lol).

Yup. Totally worth it too - though of course only if you get the FF
wheel too.
