A guy I know -- someone I've known for a very long time -- has taken it upon himself to introduce me to some new women.

While I would normally encourage this sort of thing, it's really pointless in this instance because:

a.) He has absolutely no clue what kind of person I'd be interested in, and does not really listen well enough to get the idea when I try to explain it to him, and

b.) It's clear he has absolutely no contacts who would fall into the category of "Someone I Might Be Interested In."

So, he has been introducing me to women who are generally slightly worse candidates than a statue of former Cubs first baseman Leon Durham.

After an introduction, he will wait a day or two and then ask, "So what did you think of Stacie?"*

And I will tell him, "She's really not my type."

And he says, "She could be your next girlfriend," after which he immediately introduces me to some other non-starter.

Well-meaning is appreciated, but well-meaning and well-connected would be a lot better....!

And you wonder why people call you "complicated"...

Stop! Drop! And Roll!

Just go with the flow sexy lexy... and make sure those girls are buying you dinner!

Pfffft, if they'd buy me dinner, I'd probably give them a shot....!

I've had friends try to set me up as well.

It's scary to think of their idea of my ideal match.

I don't have time to read all this but, based on the author, I'm sure it's all good.

I see this as self limitation. We limit ourselves out of fear, you know.

There have been surprising pleasant things that have come from expanding my horizons into unknown territory.

Just a point of view.

I just wanted to tell Tanya I miss her.
