This Ain't My First Rodeo

You know you've been around the online dating block when you realize some guy on Match has "winked" at you...and you recognize him because you went out with him a year and a half ago when you were on eHarmony. Apparently we are still both single and looking. And apparently he doesn't remember me nearly as well as I remember him (he had a thing for knee socks, and I think he dressed up as a girl at one point in his childhood. These things stick with you).

On the upside of things, Match.com is potentially looking up quite a bit. For one, one of the foremost experts on economic forecasting wants to take me out. He's 6'6". He's the main economic advisor to a major state. I'm not kidding. He also regularly appears on CNN and MSNBC. Who knew! Equally exciting--this super cute British journalist who is...wait for it...LOOKING TO SETTLE DOWN (unicorn alert!) also wants a date with me. He's worked for the BBC. He runs marathons. And he is seriously adorable. How fabulously interesting (and EMPLOYED) are these guys?!? I feel like the belle of the ball. Here's hoping they are HALF as exciting as they seem to be in their profiles.

As for my friend with the knee socks...it didn't work out the first time, and I am guessing it's not going to work out the second time either. I think it's best to let sleeping dogs lie. Don't you think?
