You guys'll get a kick out of this!

Eharmony matched me with another friend today. It cracks me up what a small world we really live in, even in a metropolitan area like DC.

This time, though, it's someone I've been trying to get up the cajones to ask out for several months. She recently took the bar exam, which is why she really hasn't had time to date-- and I had a good excuse not to ask. She's currently an engineer. I contacted her through the site, so we'll see what happens.

Either way, I usually see her after Mass on Sundays. This could be either very embarrasing or the beginning of something pretty cool! But I'll take the chance.

It could be worse. You could be matched to her mother or sister. At least, if you hit it off, you'd be keeping it in the family, right?

I actually dated my wifes younger sister once....and I'm in good enough with both her sisters I can squeeze their butts (the older one too) when I want and they don't get upset.

But they are in the old country (Italy) so that happens only once a year.

I don't even joke with my mother in law because she would grab the family jewels in an instant.....but shes an older full figured woman and definately not my type.

If I were in your shoes I'd play it up... does Eharmony let you send a message to the person? Can you play the "well isn't this ironic?" card? Try the lighthearted approch and see what her response is. You never know... good luck!

Well, she did respond through the site, but at this point it's limited by the site to only pre-written multiple choice answers and all. I emailed a buddy of mine for her phone number, but he doesn't have it. I'd like to simply give her a call.

But going through the site is kinda fun just the same!

Wouldn't it be a kick in the pants if it turned out not to be her?!! But I'm 99% sure it is.

There is obviously a question in in your profile that translates into "what kind of girls do you already know?" !!!
