I did one of those meet-and-greet, grab a cup of coffee type blind dates today, a set-up from a friend (bless his heart). It lasted half an hour, twenty minutes if you subtract the time it took in which the other person spent all of her time trying to figure out how to make an exit.

I've heard women can tell within a couple of minutes whether or not they're into the guy. Which may be true, but something you'd think they'd grow out of once they hit their thirties. I guess it's kind of cool that she didn't drag it out and waste my time by pretending to be interested, but still, if you've just turned 38 and you're dismissing someone within twenty minutes of a kind-of blind date, it's time to start getting some cats.
