I was asked an interesting question at work yesterday. Yes it's a real job. I'm not an IT guy and no I'm not a level 17 elf either. It requires real work, I pick things up and put them down. Anyways it's not really an "interesting" question but it made me think. A new lady started at work about two months ago. She transferred up from our Boston location and has finally settled into "The way life should be". We have been talking and she seems like a really nice person. She approached me and asked if I had any single friends that were normal. My first response was "not ones that are normal". Then the more I thought about it I realized that no, I don't have any single friends. I told her I know quite a few eighteen year olds. She instantly laughed. As she should, she is in her mid forties and has kids the same age. Then it came to me! Yes I actually do have a single friend. I consider him to be as normal as my friends, and I proceeded to talk him up giving the details that I know.
He just turned forty.
response -"same age nice"
He has two jobs.
response - "a stable income that's good"
He is a personal trainer.
response - "hey I love going to the gym and working out"
He also works at the game store I go to.
response- "Nope, I'm out"
Makes me wonder how hard it would be now to find a girl, being a 32 year old gamer myself.
It's a little difficult but very possible. It's just a matter of networking, and since you're very social I bet you'd do fine.
ReplyDeleteunfortunate...you should try to convince her that opposites attract and perhaps the thing that she thinks might turn her off of this fellow might be the thing that gets him out of the house on a Thursday when she wants Margharitas with the gals. Perfect! But then again, I'd probly say the same as her, so who the hell am I to judge?
