Sometimes I just don't remember... like this guy I met on jdate in (umm) 2003, right before I settled in for my 3 year foray with Mr. Grumpy Pants, in another town I lived in halfway across the country. Turns out he now lives in my new town...
I just sent this on OKCupid:
Dear J[his real name],
How did I know this[your real name]? Well, you haven't changed your online name since 2003... which, I think, is when we went out on one (failed?) dinner date in [our old town]. For the life of me, I remember a nice correspondence, but not why we didn't go out again... I know I had just met someone that I was with for several years about then... but anyway...
I found it funny to see your name on here again, that I recognized it, and (oddly enough) still have your name in one of my old address books!
Hope you are well, and that you are enjoying life back in [this new town]. I moved back here in 2004 from [our old town] for grad school . Big career change and all that jazz.
Maybe if you've forgotten, too, or thinking "who the hell is this woman???" we might try a drink again. At least to toast [our old town], and leaving winter behind.
Of course, I have a date with the Latin Lover on Saturday. Dinner at his house. And then there are two other potential OKCupid dates: the Man with Feelings (a play on his profile name); and the 26 Year Old.
Oh, and did I mention I spent 45 minutes on the phone with the matchmaker, talking about buying her business? Kind of a lark a friend and I are considering.
This should be entertaining...
