So in an attempt to perpetuate meaningless, yet comical blog entries, here's my next effort.
So for all you married folk out there be glad you are not in the dating scene because it's tough out here in my world. Somehow I've become a favorite target for setting up which I don't really mind because, hey, a girl's gotta eat, right? :) Well, some of you know that my doubles partner was trying to set me up with her trainer. The day I'm supposed to go out with him she tells me to go have a good meal because I probably won't be seeing him again...he's 38. She thought he was in his early 30's. So I go meet him for a late lunch despite her warnings. I had previously asked her if he was good looking (being the shallow person that I am), and she kept saying he was a good looking guy...kind of suspiciously. Well, let me describe him to you, and now I really will be shallow. He has a huge upper body where his arms can't lay flat on his side because he's a trainer. His hair is high and tight like a marine and there are a few scars on his head. I think he was missing part of his ear, but I didn't really want to stare to confirm that fact. He had some other scarring on his face as well. I will say he had gorgeous eyes, so that was a plus. On the phone he had had a ton of energy, so I thought that it would be easy to talk over the meal instead of the cursory awkward silence. Well, it would have been easy if I could have finished a thought or he stopped barking (more like yipping) questions at me. I quickly realize this is going nowhere despite the fact that he told me he was "like the freaking mayor of Georgetown" and I had to go out with him there because he knew the best places...blah, blah, blah. I've affectionately dubbed him the title of this blog and will forever remember him that way. I do a great impression of a Chihuahua by the way. Please don't let him call me! I haven't seen my doubles partner yet to "thank" her for this opportunity, but I will give this as a word of advice to friends setting up friends.... Pretend you actually know your friends and set them up with people they might actually like!!! :) My next set up is from the guy's mother. Guess that's a vote of confidence for you and could bypass the whole meeting his family awkwardness. I'll keep you posted.
NEW MATERIAL AHEAD...KEEP READING!
I have a meathead Chihuahua update.... apparently he told Peggy (doubles partner) that he thinks he's too wild for me. I think that was in response to me pulling the "I'm a high school girls Bible study leader" card. It works every time!!! :)
