It's a small world...

I'm giving up on dating.  This time for real.  I mean, I think the dating gods are secretly sending me a message.  Or at least laughing at me.

This week I meet a potential suitor.  Let's call him, Judas.

Judas is cute.  And tall.  Y'all know how I like tall.  We text and discuss a potential date.  I'm excited!  We become facebook friends...and linkedin connections...random, I know, but hey, I'm job searching so the more the merrier.  

Does anyone really realize how good of an investigative tool facebook is?  I mean, it's amazing.  You can find out lots of stuff.  Of course I look through Judas' pics, that's what you do, right?  Well, that's what I do.  Look to see if he really is cute, tall, and fun.  I mean, you can tell a lot by pictures.  You can discover evidence of past girlfriends...or present girlfriends.

It really is a small, small world.  Chicago is even smaller.  I discover that Judas is "friends" with one of Peaches' friends.  She's super cute and looks like a lot of fun.  The following day, I ask Peaches if she knows Judas.  She doesn't, but offers to text their mutual friend to get the scoop.  And gets the scoop she does!

What starts as an innocent inquiry of tall cutie, reveals an inner asshat.  Peaches calls me in distaste!  "You are going to die..."  I roll my eyes...what winner have I discovered now?  "Turns out, Judas has been dating her exclusively since November."  Ugh, really.  I mean is Chicago just the melting pot of assholes - or am I just an asshole magnet?  I figure I have nothing to lose, so I text Judas myself, asking if he really has a girlfriend.  His "explanation" is vague...she's not my girlfriend...blah blah blah...we were just talking...blah blah blah...whatever.  So, needless to say, I don't see a date with Judas in the future.  

On a side note, I end up meeting the "friend" at a birthday party Peaches and I had.  She really is super cute and a lot of fun.  Looks like Judas f'd up with 2 amazing girls!!!
