Wells and he is a junior partner with Hastings, Laslow, Arden and Stein.  We’re meeting at Coffee World tomorrow.  Wish me luck.

    Junior partner, eh?  Can you say CHA-CHING?   Have fun and call me or drop me an email when you’re home.

    Ditto for me.  Not the “CHA-CHING” part, but the “have fun and call me later” part.

    THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!  I cannot thank you enough for bailing me out.  That man was probably the most boring person I have EVER met in my entire life.  And I’ve been around.  Well, I haven’t actually been around in that sense.  But, you know what I mean.  I’ve met a lot of people and lord knows I’ve got some clients that could put you to sleep, but this man takes the cake.  I’ve never done anything like that before, but thank goodness you were home.

    Holy moly.  Thomas was probably the MOST BORING PERSON EVER!  That lemonade (sadly, at Coffee World so no vanilla blended to take my mind off of this bore) felt like a valium cocktail with an ambien chaser.  I could not keep my eyes open.  Guess my search continues.  Call me tomorrow.

    Happy to oblige.  Evan and I were just hanging out watching a movie.  So, who was this guy and how did you meet?

    A junior partner?!?  Wow!  How did you meet him? Was it a set-up? It’s not like your job brings you in touch with that kind of man.

    Yep.  Set up through a friend at work.  She knows someone who knows him.  My god was he boring.  He was like the Ambien of the dating world.  If I ever have insomnia, I can just relive moments over a vanilla blended where he droned on and on about intellectual property rights.  Sorry.  I’m probably putting you to sleep right now just giving you the highlights – or low lights in this case.  Anyway, thanks again.  You are a real pal.

    Subject: Three strikes and you’re out?
    Last night was the most boring evening of my life.  The absolute worst date I’ve ever – EVER – been on and that even includes the guy who stole my wallet.  I had to excuse myself, go to the ladies room, call Ashley and have her page me with some fake emergency so I could get out of it.  I’m starting to think this online dating thing just isn’t for me.  So far, I’ve dated a gay man, an egomaniacal B celebrity and the most boring man on the planet.  What made me think quality men would be searching for love on the net?

    I’ve resorted to the fake emergency before, but not from boredom.  You know me.  I don’t care if they’re boring, as long as they’re hot.  So, was he hot?  Can I have his number?  HA!  I knew that would make you smile.  Don’t give up.  Three dates is nothing.  I sometimes go on three dates in one day.
