Somewhere Something Went Right

Picture this: it's a balmy Saturday night and three lovely ladies are lounging about in Bryant Park, deciding how to spend their evening. "I'm so frustrated with online dating!" says one, and the others quickly agree. The men they are meeting online are either too timid or too aggressive, too unattractive or too good-looking to be true and most of the time things weren't panning out for these lovely gals. Now, they are all gorgeous and accomplished young ladies, but meeting available single men while out and about in NYC proved to be difficult; what, you ask, is a lady to do?

One suggested - "Why not try speed dating?" The others were quick to dismiss, thinking that it was too weird or expensive (because, you know, everything is expensive here in NY!), but they thought about it some more. Finally, one bravely decided to google it, and see what the World Wide Web said; lo and behold, there was a speed dating event that very next evening for "single young professionals!" The ladies were still quite hesitant and decided to sleep on it. The next morning, they quickly decided to bite the bullet and sign up - there was no turning back!

They arrived that evening after spending just a bit too much time getting ready and made a beeline to the bar - liquid courage was necessary for this endeavor! All too quickly, they were told to split up, take a seat and await their manly suitors! This lady was nervous as hell, but decided to just see what happened; it was then that her first suitor sat down in front of her. They quickly struck up a conversation about NYC neighborhoods and BBQ'ing and other things and the 5 minutes passed pleasantly - this lady was then pretty damn excited because this first suitor had definitely piqued her interest.

Needless to say, for this lady, everything began in those 5 minutes. It's been a few months since that day and this lady knows that she definitely won the prize that night...Time will tell, but, for now, she is infinitely happy that she took a leap on that balmy Saturday evening.
