A few weeks ago, I got set up on Friendster.
A few weeks ago, I got set up on Friendster by someone whom I’ve never met, but thought I “seemed cute,” and would make a good match for his also-cute friend, Jon.
Ballsy, right?
What I thougth was equally as ballsy was when I replied to his message with:
I’m sorry. I’m sure your friend Jon is very nice, but I’m not actually here to meet anybody.
Did that work? No way. Not only did I hear back from him with a note that said, “Perfect. Neither is he.” but a rather charming message from Jon as well. So, I read the note, had a look at his profile and photos. Yes, turns out, Jon is cute. Maybe a bit too much hair-product use, but overall, attractive.
So, what? He’s relatively cute. Okay, and fairly smart, too. For MIT and all. And the foreign film I have listed on my profile? He’s not only seen it, but can quote the sequel. Why? Because he speaks French, too. You know, living in Paris will do that to a guy. He doesn’t listen to atrocious music. He doesn’t watch too much TV (not even sports) and he plays the guitar. Among other things.
I’m totally waiting to discover that he has a midget porn addiction or an extra toe.
‘Cause that’s just the way these things work.
I had one of those recently. Mentioned to a friend I wished I had someone around to see movies with, as my Moviegoing Pal had moved away to attend law school. Before I knew it, she had me set up with someone. Two months later, it’s going very well. No midget porn or extra toes yet. So, should you wish it, I pass on my good “inadvertent set-up” karma to you.
btw, i think i figured out who Jon is, and even though i don’t know him or his friend at all, he is connected to jd, the john cusak look alike that i briefly dated. so even smaller world.
Wait, there’s something wrong with midget porn?
