I have been telling people about churning (without referring to it as churning). Telling them that I am recently single and trying to meet people and date. And asking them if they know anyone who would be willing to go out with me or set me up with someone they know.
Side note: How long until I can no longer say I'm recently single?
Anyway, so I told this guy on my fencing team that I was trying to go on dates. (I had to tell him the story of my breakup, which was always fun. Read: sucks more each time I tell it which is weird because I care less each time.) He told me there were a lot of single, nerdy guys at his office. (I love me some nerdy dudes.) He also said that he had a colleague who likes to play matchmaker. He asked if he could give her my contact information. I said sure!
She emailed me the following messages shortly thereafter:
"I have a few men in mind, would you be offended if I asked you to send me a picture and maybe some of your hobbies, what you do job wise, went to school etc. where you are from?? "
"... you should consider coming out to one of my work networking events as well, many men in this building don't want to date folks that work here, thus a perfect way to meet men who are looking for companion ship, a mate, partner, etc."
I sent them to Kitty, who replied, "Wow! That is Amazingly Awkward!"
I replied to the Matchmaker's email with all of the requested information and have yet to hear back. Hopefully she'll find a nerdy dude or two to set me up with in the near future. If she does, I'll let you know.
