I met a man last night, at a bar in Fremont, and I could feel the instant chemistry that I've spent the last year searching for on the internet. The second he was out of hearing range, I asked my mutual friend what she knew about him- was he single???
"He's engaged," she said. I sighed frustration and went to sit in a different area to explore other possibilities. But this man followed me a few minutes later, put his hand on my shoulder, and struck up the conversation again.
After he'd had several beers, he laid it out on the table: "Look, you are really cute and sweet, but I don't want to lead you on. I've been with my girlfriend for seven years, and we're engaged."
The compliment was all I needed to hear. The chemistry was mutual! He said I was cute! In a dating world where connections are so few and far between, I was happy to have those feelings shared- even if nothing was going to come from it.
"So since you're taken," I told him, "do you have any single friends?"
He did. But his single friend deserves his own post on this blog. To be continued...
