a recent conversation among myself and four friends at a coffee shop...
Me: No, I'm not doing trapeze, but I'll come and watch...
Friend 1: But the trapeze guy is Australian and really hunky.
Friend 2: Yeah, you can fall into his arms.
Me: OK, when I said I want to find a relationship, I don't think you get how low I'm aiming here...I don't have some a-ha in love fantasy; we're looking at no wife, no undeclared children, no pets...my allergies are my biggest hurdle...no road blocks like centuries of religious traditions.
(Looking at Friend 1)
Don must have friends...why don't you set me up?
Friend 1: No...no...they're all total computer geeks.
Me: I don't care.
Friend 1: No, you're too good for them...they play computer games all night.
Me: Look, I don't care if he wants to pretend he's a ranger all night...as long as he comes to bed.
(Friends 2 and 3 laugh)
Friend 1: Ok...go find your power ranger then.
Me (laughing): They're not power rangers.
...more trapeze talk...don't ask...
Anyway, I really do want to find a nerd-like-me who also thinks it's funny that my friend believes there is some connection between World of Warcraft and Power Rangers...
Of course, the joke is on me since some SUPERdorks have made the connection!
Arrrgh! Dating!
Surely there must be a less stressful strategy for finding a kindred spirit with whom one can snuggle, snog and be snilly?

I think BreadnRoses should offer an arranged marriage service.
