As many of you know, my wife and I parted ways mutually a few weeks ago, so I've been working on trading up using the new-fangled technogadgetry called "online dating". As technology has improved immensely beneficial to human progress over millennia, I deduced that the same would apply to the field of companionship.
The matchmaker suggested that it was important that my photos be taken by someone else, and that it was crucial to have at least one "group shot". As I don't have a photogenic (or willing) group of friends, I hired some students from the local university to be my backdrop, pretending to be from a soccer team (I've never kicked a soccer ball).
So this one lady and I went on a date to a Seattle-based coffee chain. The caffeine, sugar and bitter taste made me nervous and jittery and I kept complaining about the food and caramel-encrusted leather lounge chairs we were forced to sit on. Nevertheless, the date went well and we planned another.
Well apparently the lady's nephew attends local said university, and his roommate knows one of the students I hired and told the story to the nephew. I guess the lady was over at the nephew's parents' house and when she was talking about her date, the nephew connected the dots, laughing it up. The lady was humiliated.
She confronted me (over e-mail), cancelled our date and accused me of "catfishing". I replied and told her I don't know what she's talking about and I don't fish. She elaborated and told me the above, and how I embarrassed her. I replied saying, "LOL! As if you didn't take your pics 15 lbs ago!".
Do you think I still have a chance? It's a small town.
(P.S. While in preparations I asked the matchmaker "Why don't you and I just date?" He wasn't interested.)
