I think I've already mentioned that I am a huge believer in signs. Unfortunately, I am not a huge decoder of these signs but oh well.....can't have it all. Several months ago I met up with someone from the dating site. It didn't go particularly well....it was one of those meetings where within 5 minutes you're already sure that this is not going to go anywhere other than to become a story in a blog. We parted and I never spoke to or saw this fellow again.
Well a couple of days ago I received an email from someone on the site. He surprisingly gave me his first and last name (lotsa guys seem reticent to give out that info right away) which kinda rang a little bell in my head....but being that I have the memory of a gnat, it was just a faint, distant bell.......until I read further. He also mentioned his line of work...an unusual specialty type of occupation...which made the bell ring a bit louder. I clicked on his profile picture and there it was......the spitting image (and by the way, is the phrase spitting or splitting?) of the guy that I met several months previous. No, it wasn't THE same guy but obviously his brother (hence the name briefly catching my attention). I spent the day wondering if I should email him back and explain that I do believe that I met his brother a while back...maybe they hadn't told one another that they are on this dating website? It was too funny a coincidence not to reveal it to him, so I did. I said something to the extent of...."Funny story...." and did a brief explanation (not going into the fact that the date didn't go anywhere and also not mentioning that we met off of the site as well). Brother #2 emailed me back with a "small world" type of comment and I thought we were done with this slightly amusing thread. Then the following day I receive another email from #2. This time he's referring to his "f*cking brother" messing things up for him and that it only just dawned on him that I met #1 through the site and not just out in the real world. After another f*cking and a sh*t in there as well (not directed at me but at his brother) I started to recall that #1 had mentioned that he had a twin....yes, TWIN brother who he did not get along with. Yeah....it took that much to jog my memory.
The really funny thing is that even if I hadn't gone out with #1, I still had no intentions of going out with #2 (even before his expletive filled rant) so really #1 hadn't messed anything up for him. I didn't feel the need to clarify details with him though. Mister seems to have some anger issues so I thought it best not to have any further contact with him...
So as far as signs go, I'm taking this as sign #2 that I really should cancel my membership (#1 being the email from the 68-year old). So now I'm just waiting on sign #3.......I'm pretty sure that he didn't say they were triplets.....
