awkward

While sitting at Fab Fibers last week, one of the gals mentions that one of her co-workers is about my age, and single, and they were talking, and...

Well, you know how that conversation goes.

I was suddenly very interested in my knitting.

As it turns out, this gal, who is in her mid-20's, decided that this fellow, who is 40, is too immature for me. So she decided not to mention that she had a friend, etc.

That happens to me a lot.

"Sure, I know somebody, about your age, but he's: not good enough/too immature/not your type."

At some point, could I please get to decide for myself?
