Anyway… I met this guy awhile ago. It was almost old-fashioned. He was a friend of a friend or something like that. Someone I was excited about meeting, at first. He was smart and funny and great on paper. So after meeting and exchanging lots of phone calls and coordinating complicated schedules we went out on a date. One date.
Honestly, we didn’t really hit it off. OK, that’s an understatement. I thought he came off like an arrogant jerk. And I know from arrogant jerks, having dated quite a few of them.
Anyway, he asked me out for a second date and after mulling it over for a half second I politely declined. Skip ahead a few months and I see his name in the Church's newsletter that I am visiting. He’d done something remarkable and everyone was talking about him and what a wonderful person he was. Of course, I read the newsletter. I especially loved the part about his fiancee. I did a tiny bit of digging and found out that they’d been together forever.
So Mr. Wonderful had gone out with me while engaged.
I know that crap like this happens all the time. Every minute of every day, somewhere on this little planet we call earth. I just thought it was funny/weird, that I found out in a Church newsletter. I mean, I could’ve theoretically still been dating the jerk. Behind his fiancees back. Now THAT would’ve been funny!
