Internet Dating - Thank you
I had a great date with a woman whose conversation made it obvious that she had understated her age in her ad by a few years. When I joked about it with her, she was highly insulted and didn’t respond to my emails or pick up the phone when I called. To her, I say thank you.
Then there was the woman who I got along great with on the phone and who asked that we no speak for the last two days before we met, so as to build up the anticipation. We met at my favourite pub, St. Andrew’s, and had a very nice time. For the second part of the date, we went to one of the ‘New York Sings’ series. Operatic and Choral societies from the entire region fill the audience and sing along to the program music, which on this day was Carmina Burana. For me, it was magnificent, having all of these amazing voices all around me. But she didn’t like it, and 20 minutes before the intermission, she announced that she would leave at the break. And so she did. And I thank her too.
Then there was the woman who I had a great date with but who thought that me calling her 2 days later was too much pressure. We spoke once more, two weeks later, and the conversation was as good as the date had been. But she also never answered when I called, so I stopped. And I give her very special thanks.
Why do I thank these women? Because had things turned out differently with any of them, I would likely not have met Jan. (pictured here with her lovely brother, Lloyd, her 91 year old mother, Anita, and Anita’s 92 year old boyfriend Nate – these two have known each other since 3rd grade and he was Best Man at her wedding!)
