miss match
(yes, it's from alicia silverstone's latest series. so sue me.)
people seem to want to set me up these days. okay, realistically, it's just two people. but that's a whole lot more than the number of offers last year, which was zero. oh wait, i had one. so there has been a 100% increase. yahoo!
the matchmakers - one is a girl i met on my first surfing trip. the other one is a guy i used to work with.
the pitch - "that guy i was supposed to set you up with... it turns out he has a girlfriend! but he has a friend that he recommends. maybe you know him..." and "so how's your love life? non-existent? hm. well, are you open to being set up? okay, i'll see if my friend is ready. if he's ready for the likes of you."
the bachelors - i didn't get specifics, but based on my excellent powers of deduction, they're out of their twenties. as my friends put it... men over 30 = men thinking m-rr--g-. (it doesn't take a genius to fill in the blanks.) honestly, it never crossed my mind. all i thought was, okay, new person to meet, may or may not be nice. at least i get to know more people. talk about zero expectations.
the implications - my friends think i'm highly marketable. either that, or they think i have little chance of finding the right guy on my own, hence they are helping me out a bit. let's focus on being a viable commodity, shall we?
the results - nothing. no blind dates. people offer, but nothing happens. no dates have been set up. i don't know if that's a good thing, but i'll take what i'm given. and i'm gonna be happy about it.
i love being single. and very available.
