I Step In It

A few days ago one of my pals asked, "how come your girlfriend never comes to the station?"

"Because she doesn't exist."

"Oh, sorry. Boyfriend, I meant." Huh?

"Dude, I'm not gay- just single." Pal gets embarrassed.

"No offense, man. I knew that. But I coulda sworn you and so & so were a couple." What? I wish.

"Dude, I don't even know her last name. I changed a string on her boyfriend's guitar-that's the extent of our relationship."

One of our not-single female volunteers that I hardly know overheard this exchange. She joined in.

"Omigod! You don't have a girlfriend? I could like so totally hook you up with my friend!"

Oh shit. I wonder what kind of friend someone who says things like "could like so totally hook you up" has? Do I want to know? Can I afford not to?

I must've been weak that day, 'cause I agreed to give the 'blind date' a shot. I guess it's better than placing a personal ad.

She might be cool, who knows? She's "sweet & funny- a lot like you [me]."
I hope that doesn't mean bald and ugly.

On the positive, I did get lucky on my last blind date.
On the negative, we were both shit-faced drunk that night and the "love" left early in the morning.


I am like, so totally waiting for this girl to like, hook me up , ya know?

so the next logical conclusion one draws if one appears single and doesn't have a GF is gay? lol.

One of our good friends who is single has just recently started out on that match.com. I took his digital pic for him the other night so he could send some to a woman he has been corresponding with of late. He really seems to be liking the system so far. I hope it works for him!

In my case, it's because no one can believe that such a 'prime catch' is untaken.
(NOTE: that post was clipped from my non-blog journal from almost a year ago. The recent episode was so similar I didn't even bother changing any of the details...)

I did a free trial ad -forgot w/ what com.- but it's not a good place for poor, uneducated short men to meet women.

I had one date, but she didn't show up.

I guess that's Ok. I really, really suck at small talk.

Maybe I'll try again and lie like hell on my profile.
