Well, this week has been a bit more successful. Despite being ridiculously busy (the kind where you sit down and your chest is tight from the constant, nagging anxiety you're under) at work and socially over committed, I managed to schedule another date.
His name was Adam and he's an adorable Apple Genius. We chatted a bit through a few emails and each one revealed more and more of his quirky personality. I liked it. He quickly got to the point and asked if I wanted to join him for a meal at Maggiano's. My first thought was, "Is this senior prom?", but when he explained it was one of his favorite restaurants and that he would enjoy good food with good company, my heart melted just a lil bit.
Tuesday night came and I tried to dress as geek chic as possible (his profile picture featured a calculator watch). Sporting a red pencil skirt and some Keds, I strutted my way into the restaurant. There he was, with a great build for someone my height, cute Weezer glasses and a pea coat. He proceeded with a side hug and motioned me to a comfy booth.
The conversation was great. He picked up where I left off, I asked ridiculous questions, he came back with snappy comments... but then it got interesting. Over some spaghetti and meat balls he talked about always going to bed before 11:30 (I don't usually get off of work until midnight on the weekends), how he hated the outdoors (I love to get out and run) and that he enjoyed anything and everything online (I'm ridiculously social). Yet every time he said these things I thought, "Huh, he'd get along perfectly with Sarah." And by the end of the meal I was convinced. Sarah and Adam should go out.
We left Maggiano's at 9:30, because he was tired and needed to go to bed. There was a quick hug before we parted ways to our separate cars. I then immediately called Sarah. She asked how it went, I said he was great, but there just wasn't that attraction there for me. I told her how I thought Adam was her Match. She agreed. And then we made a pact...
"Hey Adam,
I just wanted to write and say that I had a fun time last night:) Thanks for the good company and dinner.
So, strangely enough, while we were sitting there chatting I couldn't help but think how great you'd be matched up with my best friend. I know it sounds crazy, but I really think you two would hit it off!
Here's her Match profile (we're in each other's pictures, so you can compare and see that I'm not lying to you, haha). Shout her a holla, I'm sure she wouldn't mind;)
Cheers,
Genevieve"
I say that has to be the message of his life.
