I met (another) really cool girl on craigslist the other day, and when we met in person she confided that after emailing and IMing with me for a few days she'd asked a friend's opinion of me, and after looking over our correspondence he'd exclaimed "where did you find this unicorn?". I guess that this is now the proper nomenclature for describing an articulate and engaging male found on craigslist or other unlikely locales, but I'm still not sure how I feel about being labeled something as cuddly as a unicorn, it just goes against my image...

Easy, next time you see her, ask her if you want her to see your "horn" :wink:

That's quite a compliment, Dox - even if it is a peculiar turn of phrase... just picture yourself as Mechahorn and see if that works better with your self-image. *chuckle*

It wasn't meant to be a comment on your cuddliness. It just means you are rare to the point of being almost mythical! Besides anything that could spear a man and send him flying over their shoulder is pretty hard core really.

I am not sure comments about your horn would help you keep that status though... perhaps after you have been dating for a month or so?

Rare to the point of being mythical, as MorbidMiss said. It is a compliment. It means rare in a GOOD way. Plus there is a girly cliche of liking unicorns. There is a whole marketing world out there of unicorn t-shirts, posters, throw pillows, little staues, candles and so on and on.

However, resist the urge to say "wanna se my horn?".

Ask her if she wants to go to Candy Mountain! Candy Mountain, Charlie! Then tell her about the magical leopluridon! If she does not believe you, then do not date her. You must shun the nonebeliever! Shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnn-uh!
