I don't do well with too many choices.  I've jumped in with both feet into the seedy underworld of online dating, and, uh, I'm probably making it sound much worse than it is.  I don't really know all the rules of how this is supposed to go, and I'm likely breaking online dating etiquette all over the place, so I just hope I'm not unintentionally burning any bridges.  But then again, one little click and I can find myself a million new bridges, all nice and flammable.

But I don't like that.  I really just want to find one good girl and leave the winks and icebreakers behind.  And if she can put her head through an ice cream cone with a smile on her face, all the better.

Myung is trying to help me in real life.  Myung said Sulah knew a girl that she could set up with me.  I told him I don't want to know anything about her, lest I have some baseless reason for not wanting to meet her.

Myung: So I said I'll give you her number and you can call her.

Me: Okay.

He: But Sulah said that's not how it works.  She's going to set something up.

Me: Okay.  Wait, do you know this girl?

He: No.

Me: You've never seen her?

He: No.

Me: What?  If I'm not going to know anything about her, then you have to screen her for me.

He: Okay.

The next day he texted me.

He: Sulah got so mad at me for asking for a picture.

Me: Hahaha.

He: She's pretty.  She's too good for you.  Call her.  Here's her number.

Me: I thought Sulah didn't want that.

He: She doesn't want to get involved because you are mean.

Me: Hahaha.

So it's on by any means necessary.  Come on, heart: move, but don't break.
