Perhaps I Should Have Used a Different Line...

Oh my friends... bless their hearts. So I get this email from my friend:
Hey Sarah,

Last night Heather and I got a drink at Jake's. We ran into a handsome young gent and a gal who was trying to help him find a great girl. I quizzed him about traits he's looking for in a girl and well... seems like you and him might get along great! His name is Ryan. He's 33. Never been married/no kids. Good looking. Catholic. A lawyer. Not on facebook. That's about all I know about him.

Not sure if you're interested in meeting anyone right now, but I thought it might be worth a try. I have his email address and would love to introduce you two via email. Of course, only if you're interested. ;)

Let me know!

So of COURSE I'm like yes! Totally! Give him my info... how fun!

So she does. 2 weeks go by and not a word from him. So I decide to take a chance and send him the following email:

Hey Ryan,

How are you? I don't know about you - but I think this is hilarious. There's nothing I like more than randomness and meeting new people!

Hopefully you're having a great week!

I'm off like a prom dress,
Sarah

And I receive this response:

Hi Sarah,

Yes, it is entertaining. Your friend's email might have gone into my junk email, so I'm sorry for the apparent delay in my response. I think that a friend of mine was getting a little overzealous at Jake's a couple weeks ago and was talking to a few of your friends about a set up. All I know is that at some point I was pulled (okay, willingly sat) in a booth with 5 women who began asking lots of questions. It wasn't like the Spanish Inquisition, and your friends are actually very nice.

At any rate, I'm actually pursuing dating someone right now. There's probably a better word than "pursuing", but I'm not near a thesaraus right now. I digress. Anyway, it's probably not the best timing for a set up.

I hope you're having a good week as well, and maybe we'll run across each other's path sometime in the future.

Cheers,
Ryan

I sent this exchange to some friends and most agreed I definitely should NOT have used the ending like "I'm off like a prom dress"... but whatever! I thought it was funny... and besides... I want to be memorable!

Oh well - that was fun!

Lesson Learned...

Don't EVER make eye contact with a creepy guy at a bar. Yah. Welcome to MVC 2011 and the Big Bang piano bar where I accidentally made eye contact with this creep. He totally made a beeline to our table and then forced me (with the help of some of my friends) to slow dance with him to a fast song.

I then asked him his name and he said "Colin". Then he proceeded to spell it for me in sign language. Then, he told me he was in school studying market research (is that a major?) and then kept trying to pull me in closer and made me put my arms around his sweaty neck all while telling me how "awkward I was".

I finally broke away after he said to me "I just want to feel the curves of your body" and proceeded to slide his hands down the side of my body... EW EW EW EW EW!

Makes for a fun story though I suppose. :) Thanks to Lizz for capturing it on film.


gross.

double gross.
