Unexpected encounter

I was exiting a cinema with friends a few days ago having watched 'Its' Complicated' with Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin.

There is a scene in the film where one of Meryl's friends says,

"I have my date from match.com that I don't want, do you want him?"

It instigated a few laughs on our part due to my experiences thus far. We were discussing this on the way out when suddenly I caught the eye of someone in the queue for the cinema; it was clever travel guy.

Why is it, out of all the people I have dated, I had to bump into the one person who I didn't call back or reply to text messages... karma is definitely a bitch!

I walked up to him (it would have been stupid not to as we were both staring at each other), and instigated a friendly conversation, completely avoiding the fact I hadn't responded to any of his messages. Conversation lasted a few minutes, then I politely made my excuses and left.

Oh..horror!! What are the odds??

And in another reflective moment; what does it mean when someone takes a week to respond to your message.. yes.. a week. I'd effectively given up on him, moved on etc etc, so it was completely unexpected when the message appeared on my email. I hadn't engaged in any match.com stalking to see whether he'd been on the sites soI have no idea what happened in between.. anyway, watch this space..
