I went on the aforementioned blind date. I am actually proud of myself for going. I don't usually do that sort of thing, but it was hard not to when twice in one week my grandmother stated "You will never find someone" TO MY FACE. It isn't like she was secretly wondering with my mother behind my back. If she says that to my face, I wonder what she says when I'm not there... Scratch that, I don't want to know!
I had a very nice time. We had a good dinner, nice chat, good company (did I mention it was a double date with Bethanie and her boyfriend?)
True to form, however, someone you haven't seen in 5 years isn't the most equipped person to set you up with someone you will have a connection with.
Don't get me wrong this guy was very nice and I could see why she would be setting him up with someone, but for me... I just wasn't attracted to him. Not just physically, but on a personal level either. We just didn't mesh well.
Which brings me to my next point...
Why is it that I can talk to someone I'm not attracted to and be totally charming (that may be a stretch, I may think I am being charming, but they may disagree) but as soon as you get me in front of someone I am attracted to I become a mute? Not just a mute, but uninteresting, and I develop a stutter? Oh, yeah... You know that noise you get in your head when you become light-headed and are about to pass out. That humming noise is all I can hear. I don't even know what they are saying to me!
Let me ask you this: When did you graduate?
That probably took you all of about 4 seconds to answer.
NOT ME!
I was introduced to someone recently and was presented with that question (Insert humming noise - hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm). What do I do? Oh, yeah... That's right. I start mumbling trying desperately to say "Last May" and although I am searching for the words (out loud to make the matter worse) I FINALLY come up with "A year ago."
Yes, "a year ago" got the job done, but only after I fumbled around forever!
What am I going to do with myself?
