You Gotta Be Fast To Date

Ah speed dating.....it's been awhile. And now I know why. It's painful!

Went last night with my friend. Thought it was good that we didn't sit right next to each other otherwise I think we would have been cracking jokes and rolling our eyes at each other all night. At least this way the fellas had a fighting chance....well, sort of.

Let's just put it this way: When one of the most unattractive guys in the room claims that the girls are way better than the men, you know you have a problem.

HIGHLIGHTS:
Ruben: Oh Ruben......nice, short (about 5'4"), talkative.....sold Sony tv's to corporations (had my mother been the one speed dating I think we would have found our match!)....and just an awkward guy. Nice enough though....

Drunk Guy: (Don't remember his name but I think he was wearing a rug) 'nuff said

Chris: Was wearing a one piece outdoor jumpsuit like he just came in from working streets and sanitation. The guy was all jokes. Said he worked for the Gambino family.....you know....the syndicate.....(Ugh, yeah....I know)....Ah, I'm just kidding (Yep...really funny). Said he travels....well, I want to go to Miami....then the Caribbean....So, you've never traveled?....No, but in a few months. Said he lives in Chicago....Oh, where in Chicago?.....Well, I'm moving to Chicago.....in a few months. Said he likes dogs....Do you own a dog.....No, but I will in a few months....a doberman. Huh. A lot is going to happen to Chris...IN A FEW MONTHS.

Observation: I sat on my hands almost the whole night. Not sure why I did this but it felt comfortable. Then I put on gloves. One part of me did it because my hands were cold. Another because I was afraid of getting germs from the dudes.

Overall I got 2 matches and these honestly were stretch matches (meaning I stretched it to find a couple guys I would want to see again). My friend also got 2 matches and lo and behold we both chose the same guy. We'll see how it all plays out but at this writing I'm not worried.

I will not be speed dating again....at least not this year (only 3 more weeks left in 2010?...well, you know......)

DATE ME!
