Smitten

I've met a wonderful woman! I'm just as shocked as you are! I had resigned myself to a life of being the creepy old guy that lived alone and got his house egged on Halloween. Still has a high probability of happening, but now at least an out has become available. We had a really great time and I felt like myself with her. This is a first for my dating experiences. Usually I am so nervous that I act like a cross between Joe Isuzu and Boo Radley...[That's a creepy guy who will say anything to sell you a car.]...Now I can't remember why I chose Joe Isuzu in that mix.

Selfishness

Enough about me. She is intelligent, down to earth, pretty, and honest. We share common interests in current events and the outdoors. She's an athlete. She is close with her family. She seems like a woman who likes to try new adventures. I'm so excited! I almost wrote a negative thought here about our relative distance and the difficulty of our schedules...but I will work very hard to make this one work!

Conundrum

Why do I title a passage about a great woman selfishness? It was really to address my own selfishness in the first passage, but now I've gotten in too deep. Saints preserve us! I just met a girl named Kate! [sung to the tune of West Side Story's "I Just Met a Girl Named Maria!"]
