a small world

~an email to a friend~

So, after I talk to you, when I'm coming home from the thirtysomethingSD birthday dinner in La Jolla (Su Casa, a Mexican restaurant--it was pretty good), I follow a BMW SUV type vehicle in. And guess who it is? Hugo from eHarmony.

I say hi from a distance--he looks like he is in a wet suit from scuba diving, or maybe surfing. He's not wearing his glasses and usual scrubs, so he's looking all sexy and athletic.

He's a little ahead of me--I check my mail (nothing), and then he holds the door open so I can get in. I say hello, and then I pause and go for it.

"Is your name Hugo?" And he looks at me, surprised, acknowledging his name. "How did you know?"

"We got matched on eHarmony, and I saw your profile."

"Have you met anyone from there?" He says.

"Well, I haven't had much luck there, but I met someone who is a good friend. There wasn't any romantic chemistry. My boyfriend broke up with me a couple months ago, and I signed up again."

"Yeah, I signed up for a free month, but I was getting these matches from L.A., Santa Ana--"

"I'm Diane, by the way. You can look on there under Closed Matches and you'll see me."

He says, "I'm going to look you up and find everything about you."

I laugh, and say, "See you later."

"See you later, Diane."

I was amused, and thought it went well. I still feel weird that he lives in the same building and floor as me, and we were matched.

So, I'm going to do something similar to Gabe--the other guy I know from the eHar club.
"Let me read your palm. I see--you live with someone, a cat?"
"Is his name Cosmo?"

Tease him like hell with the info. "And I see you have some creativity in you, your profession--is it graphic design?"

Oh so much fun!!
