Time for Ag’s relationship hour. Not really hour, more like a few minutes. I guess it really depends on how fast you read, but I’m not here to criticize. Anyway, as many of you know from this thread http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=37002 I’ve had bad luck with dates lately.
Well, right after doing that thread, I got one of those :to the single person in the household" letters. You know the ones I’m talking about. I’ve never opened one before, so figured I’d take a look. I didn’t want to fill it out, but I saw a weblink. I hit the sight and saw a link that said “check combatibility” or something like that. I clicked on it thinking it would ask me a few questions and then spit out a couple paragraphs about the type of person I’d be compatible with. Being bored, I did it. Mistake. That’s not what it was at all. I filled out my info and hit submit. The page that same up had nothing to do with combatibility. It said somebody would be calling me in the next few days to speak to me about the program. Fuck.
Tuesday night I get a call from them. I would have hung up, but it really was my fault they were calling, so I went ahead and heard her out. Somehow, she made me feel really comfortable talking to her, and before I knew it, she was asking me questions. Have I ever been convicted of a felony, do I smoke, have I ever felched a goat more than twice in a single day. The answers were of course no, no, and only once, but she was really drunk and didn’t seem to mind. Anyway, once again, before I knew what was happening, we had scheduled an interview for next week. She said it would take about 90 minutes and I needed to bring two forms of ID, a “wish list”, and a practice goat.
So, I have a few questions.
-
Have I made a mistake? I feel really, really wierd doing this.
-
Has anybody else done anything like this? Have any luck?
-
What should I expect at this interview?
and
4) Are there multiple goat breeds? If so, which is preferable?
I guess I shouldn’t be, but I’m kinda worried nonetheless. I’m trying to keep a sense of humor about the whole thing, but it’s still something I didn’t really want to do, but got sucked in to. All I wanted was a little personality summary, and I end up with a potential gang of minions trying to find me a date. I mean, minions are cool and all, but I’d rather they be doing other things, you know? That’s a whole other thread altogether. So, advice is needed. Please try to make me feel better. Thanks.
