My friends, Jack and Diane, asked a dude from their gym if he'd like to go on a date with their friend Betti. (Moi.)
How Was the Setup Orchestrated?
Diane told Bobby, the dude, I was hoping to meet someone and had asked her if she knew anyone she could set me up with. She also said something about me working a lot. My guess was, that addition was to make me look less pathetic, like my friend works a ton and hasn't had a chance to meet anyone due to her crazy hours. Or, it could have been to level-set expectations for dating a workaholic. This is all speculation, I will ask her to address this in her pre-date blog entry. (I love this new format already!)
Bobby agreed to go on a date with me. Hooray! She gave me his email address and I wrote to him. We have a tentative date for next week. Im waiting to hear back from him to confirm.
Diane told me what she knew about Bobby and, on "paper", he sounds stellar. I have to admit I'm a bit nervous to go out with him, but also excited.
