Let's see where did I leave off. Oh yeah, I had mail. I went into the email section to see what I had. I don't know about you but I love to get mail, almost doesn't matter what it is, it is so much fun opening mail. It also makes you feel wanted when you get snail mail or email. OK, I know I am digressing and I should get to the point.
In the email box was an email from Mr.95%! I was so excited I almost passed out; he actually wrote back. But wait, he could be writing to tell me to take a hike, that I am so not his type, that I am too fat, too skinny, too blonde. Now I had a new dilemma, should I open the email and get disappointed or should I wait a while and savor the moment???? But wait, not only did I have an email from Mr. 95%, but I had two other emails. Let's see what shall I call them? One I will call Mr. SoNotMyType and the other I will call Mr. VeryCute.
I decided to open Mr. SoNotMyType's email first, after all he wrote me so it won't disappoint me would it? I opened the email and he said he liked my profile and would like to get to know more about me. OK, so far so good.... I next went to his profile. Our match percentage was 84%. Hmmm, OK why do different? Well for one he was only 5'6", outside my range of heights I prefer, secondly, he was Asian. Not to say there is anything wrong with Asians, just in the past they have not been my type. Thirdly, he had little kids (10 and 12). But he did say he loved wine so he couldn't be all that bad could he? And after all, my track record with my so-called "type" wasn't so good; maybe I should try to date some men that didn't fit into my typical "type".
I decided to write Mr. SoNotMyType back. I asked him what kind of wine was his favorite and left it at that.
Next I opened Mr.VeryCute's email. His email said " I rarely search....normally just read emails, etc. This time I found your profile and got a smile. Let me know if the same happens to you." Wow, I was smitten already! I wrote Mr. VeryCute back and said "Why, thank you for the comment. I like your plaid pajamas". Yeah, I know sounds crazy but there was a picture of him standing in his kitchen making breakfast in plaid pajama bottoms and a t-shirt. Very cute indeed.
By this time Mr. SoNotMyType already wrote me back. I wasn't sure if I should answer, I was hesitant again so instead of opening that email I bit the bullet and opened Mr. 95%. Holy Cow he said he liked my profile too! He highlighted that we were a 95% match and asked what my favorite wine was. We went back and forth for about a half hour trading emails. Mr. SoNotMyType and Mr.VeryCute were pushed to the back burner. We decided to meet the following Tuesday at a place known for their wine selection.
OH MY GOD, I HAVE A DATE. What in the world have I done? I haven't been on a date in over 10 years. How in the world will I get ready, what will I wear? Is his picture recent? Is he a dork? What if he is an ax murderer? I don't know anyone here, who will I tell where I am going in case he abducts me and keeps me as his sex slave???? Well, maybe I would not tell anyone, that could be interesting...
The next day, Monday, I went to work and told this woman who I had become friends with. I think she was more excited than I was. Of course she would come to rescue me if I got abducted she said with excitement! She gave me her cell phone and I gave her mine. We had a plan that I would call at a certain time if things were going bad. We discussed what I should wear; she said go home and put jeans on and a sexy top!
Tuesday I could barely stand it in work, when was this day going to be over so I could go home, change, and head out to meet Mr.95%? Finally the end of the day came and I went home, changed into jeans and sweater and headed out. All the way there I was thinking "please don't be a dork".
I got to the bar and he was not there, but that is because I was 15 minutes early, a small problem of mine, I am always early. I got to the bar and found a seat next to this nice couple. We struck up a conversation and they asked me why I was here alone. I told them I was meeting a blind date. Apparently this surprises lots of people because they were excited! They said they were getting ready to leave, but now they were going to wait to see if this guy was dork or hot!! We had fun wondering what he would really be like.
And then he walked in..................................
