Work and Blind Dates

Hello Everyone,

Today was my first Saturday all by myself running the store. I was pretty busy. I had no cars on my lot so I had to go and drive them back. We close at 12pm on Saturdays and I didn't get to leave till 1:30pm. Wow.

A couple of nights ago I went out with some new girlfriends downtown. We went to dinner and talked. They spoke Spanish so I got to practice a little. They went salsa dancing after, but I didn't go because I had to get up early the next morning. They were a lot of fun to hang out with.

We were of course talking about boys. My friend wants to set me up. Are you a single person that people want to set up ? They all tell you that you'd be perfect for their friend/brother/cousin.........? Well, I am that person. Apparently I am perfect for a lot of people out there.

Anyways, my friend tells me that she has someone for me. He is looking for a girlfriend to treat well and that he has had bad experiences in the past and that he is a good person, ect....... I was listening with wide eyes until she said that he is just "a really nice guy".

When a girl describes a guy as " a really nice guy" a red flag goes up in my mind. So I asked her: "Is he attractive ?" Then she made a face and shook her head. So then I asked her " If you weren't married right now, would you go out with him?" And she kinda laughed nervously and told me that was a good question. She knew where I was going with that.

Most of my gal friends have pretty similar tastes in me as I do. So, if they are going to set me up I always ask if they would go out with the guy. If they say no, I won't let me set them up. If I am going out with a guy, I have to be attracted to him.

And I will give guys that may not be considered as very attractive a chance if they ask me out and treat me right.  But I won't do that on a blind date.

Anyways, that's all for today.
