blind date

so my mother texted to ask me if i remember this guy from school. I wrote back and said the name sounds familiar. then she told me her *friend* suggested we meet up. He’s returned to india after spending time in the U.S. as well. charming. mom is fobbing this off on her friends. So i told her to tell him to email me. not good enough, apparently. that is a no go. mom’s friend said “is she interested or not? Tell her to meet him for coffee!” i think i will after all – but i’m telling myself it’s a bonding over ‘oh, you lived there, too? for how long? when did you go after we graduated school…” etc. etc.

<confession: i looked him up on facebook. ummm…I can already see this as a ‘ek aur friend bana diya’ situation …>
