I recently took a trip to California to visit my good friend Caitlin. While I was there we decided to do something super American, so we went to a baseball game in San Francisco, it just so happened they were playing the LA Dodgers, and apparently they are rivals...I really only go to baseball games for beer and hot dogs. We were doing just that when I heard the guy in front of my loudly heckling. He was really loud! I turned to Caitlin and told her I was in love with him and was probably meant to marry him. I hadn't seen his face, but what can I say, I like loud people.
He turned around and our eyes met, and this moment may have turned me into a believer in love at first sight. This is what happened next...
Alas, all true romances end in tragedy, I was getting on a plane for Alaska in less than an hour after we met. Like a true knight on a white horse, he told me he wanted to take me home and lock me in a room with him for days, I would have happily complied, but adventure was calling (I did confirm that the taking me home bit was a come on and not a threat, safe).
A few days later, I was talking about this guy to some friends and they told me to do a missed connection on craigslist, so I wrote up a post explaining the details of our meeting. Here are the responses I got:
1) I like your ad, I thought it was cute. GO GIANTS!!! Hi. My name is Bill. I'm a 45 yr old white prof. male. I'm very open minded, spontaneous, athletic, fit, sexual, romantic and I have a great personality. I was never married and I don't have any children.I live on Nob Hill. I enjoy going to the beach, mts.,parks and the city . I work in the financial industry. I hope to talk to you soon, Bill
2) Hi
3) Hello there how are you.
I think I not the guy you are talking about. But I love giants, so if you want we can talk, maybe we can go to a giants game together
4) I'm Geoff
So, I guess the search was kind of a fail. But I haven't given up hope. If anyone knows of a parametic/EMT in the San Francisco Bay area with brown hair and a loud clear shouting voice whose name is maybe named marco or carlos or it could be something totally different, I'm really horrible at names, please let me know. DO NOT STAND IN THE WAY OF TRUE LOVE!!!
OMG, Kelly, I am never on Blogger and totally forgot about this until now (I'm supposed to set up a blog for one of our coaches)! This is terrific and I'll be spending the rest of my day reading these!
ReplyDeleteThat's great to hear! I hope you enjoyed them :)
DeleteIt was Carlos. Definitely Carlos. I think.
ReplyDeletehahaha, I think Carlos was the guy who got in a fight with Gina and she poured out all his sprite because he slept with her friend Monica...or something like that
