I woke up feeling a bit cranky today. Probably because I went to bed feeling angry. It's not logical or rational or even 'fair', but I feel kind of cheated. There was absolutely nothing wrong with last night. Even the part I forgot to mention when I got in my car and has something stuck in my teeth. I was able to laugh it off and figured it was probably not visible.
It was a perfectly fine match. In fact, I like Science teachers a lot. I get along with them, we think similarly, we laugh at the same jokes, I like science (maybe even a favorite class in HS?), and often consider myself a science geek at heart. That is not what had me mad.
The first guy they set me up with is someone I already met. Sort of. It was perfectly reasonable to think that we might have met at some point. We have been in the same meeting before, so chances exist that we may have met before. I feel like they took an easy way out to match him to me. I have no idea of knowing, nor will I probably ever find out if they knew we worked in the same school district. Maybe they knew and thought this was a great idea. What if the employer has a policy against inter-office dating? (HA! That is SO not the case in this district!) What if, as two singles, someone thought to introduce us before and it didn't work out? Melissa could have told Dawn I was looking to date, who told her husband who knew this teacher who was divorced. Six degrees of separation, right? And that was less than six. If that had happened, how awkward would that have been?
Maybe I'm just feeling irrational because I'm good at being irrational. Or maybe because I had to pay for my own appetizer and glass of wine. (yeah, seriously!) Maybe it's because I'm feeling dejected because this perfectly nice man who apparently has a lot in common with me is practically right under my nose and I'm still on the search for a date. I feel like I can almost reach something, it's right there, I can see it, my fingertips barely graze it, but it's still out of reach.
