One of my co-workers, Betty, was I broke up with my boyfriend last month. We had gone outfor a year and I was ready to settle down . But, I could tell that he still wanted to play the field before getting married. I don't think Don ever cheated on me, but I finally realized that he wasn't the marrying type .
My friend Sheila was thrilled to hear that we had split up . She never liked Don and she was anxious to set me up with some of her single friends. I told her that I didn't want to go on any blind dates . But, she kept telling me about this guy Alan. She thought he was my soulmate and she was sure that he would be my Mr. Right . According to Sheila, he was good looking , he had a good sense of humor , he was bright and witty , and was kind andconsiderate . In the end, I told Shiela to give him my number . He called and we agreed to meet for coffee.
I walked into the cafe and looked around. I saw a nice looking guy sitting by himself near the window.
Lucy: Hi, are you Alan?
Alan: Yeah. You must be Lucy.
Lucy: Did you have trouble finding the cafe
Alan: No, I've actually been here before. I'm really glad you could make it. Sheila has been telling me all about you.
Lucy: Well, Sheila likes to play matchmaker . But, it's nice to meet you, too.
Alan: To tell the truth, I'm not big on blind dates.
Lucy: Yeah, me neither. But, I'm glad I came.
Alan: Yes, so am I.
