Risk Taken!

Per yesterday's post, I have taken my first leap into riskdom. Go me!

Ok, so I read our local paper online and I happened to notice that a single member of the male persuasion had been conned by his fellow newspaper staffers to attend a speed dating event. He was supposed to blog his experience leading up to the event and afterwards. I didn't even see this until the day of, so I was unable to sign up to speed date the night he was going. Anyway, I thought he was cute from his picture and I laughed at his blog entries. But what to do now? I didn't want to be seen as blog stalker girl and I also figured ala Sleepless In Seattle that he had received e-mails from every single woman in Nashville by this time.

But, because I was Ms. Risk Taker Extraordinaire, I decided to e-mail him anyway. And I had to put my creative juices to the test....because no ordinary e-mail would do. So I wrote it from the angle of writing him for a "friend" ("My friend thinks you're cute and funny", "My friend would love to know how she might meet you"). It's hokey beyond all belief.....but I sent it anyway!

Now it's a wait-and-see game. I'm not holding my breath. But I'm just glad I chose to do something rather than sit back and hope a miracle would occur. I'll let you know if I hear anything....
