Something about being single... it makes others think that if they know someone (ANYONE) that is single then you should *totally* meet them - and MY GOD - you two have SO MUCH IN COMMON.

When in reality the only thing you probably have in common is that you both are single.

Let's cut the scene over to today - LTC is having a HYUGE event to raise money... I get a phone call from a girl that I worked with at my other job - she wants me to meet this guy - and he "REALLY wants to meet you."

I all ready have flares going off - but I think - okay. Just go. Stop being stupid.

Nevermind that he's depending on a "friend" to hook him up (ALWAYS A bad sign)
NEvermind that he seems to incredibly desperate as to want to really meet me after just hearing a description
Nevermind that I'm just not in the mood today.

So I go.

Dude is COMPLETELY not my type physically. (jewelry anyone?) And he came on EXTREMELY strong. "Hey do you like coldplay? I was thinking of getting tickets for the show in Nashville this weekend." "Hey, you have a son? Cool, I have two kids too." "No WAY! You like Aimee Mann! I LOVE her."

That last statement made me sit back, look at him evenly and then say, "Wow. Really? We're practically like... separated at birth. Like...ohmigod"

He didn't pick up on it.

UGH.

Again - I go back to chemistry - and it's either there - or it's not there.
