The Blind Date Chronicles...Part 2

Then there was on-line dating...

OK...I actually am not against this form of meeting people. There are a lot of nice guys out there. However, there are also some belonging to the Quirky Club.

The Pilot...

So, I had a profile on eharmony.com. My sister and I were surfing the options one night when we happened upon a face that was familiar to her. As we delved into his profile, she realized that she knew him from a charity dinner. As such, we typed up an email asking if he was affiliated with the organization that she suspected.

Well, he replied.

Specifically, he wanted to go out right away!!!

I should have known the instant I saw him. He looked at me like he was hearing the "Sound of Music" in stereo. He wanted to see the movie "Amazing Grace" before going to dinner. On the way into the theater, he commented that the last movie he'd seen was "The Nativity" about 6 months earlier. I kept my mouth shut because the last movie I watched was "Saw". Enough said there.

After the movie, we went to eat. He filled me in on all of his thoughts on relationships and how hockey exemplifies the perfect scenario. Oh yes...it gets better. He said that hockey is just like love...the men out playing while the women cheer them on from the stands.

Well...my kind of hockey is co-ed...on the ice and in the stands.

After dinner, I headed home. He called my cell to make sure I was getting home alright...that was after about 4 minutes apart.

Then he emailed.

I replied.

Then he emailed again. Want to know his question?

After knowing him for TWO WEEKS, he wanted to know if I was on board with moving towards "forever".

Eeek...two weeks?? So, I told him that I probably wasn't ready to make that kind of call right now.

Yep, I broke the poor guy's heart.

Why did he have such gusto??...the email about my sister recognizing him was a "sign" that I could be the one.

Poor guy...
