I think I hear my exit music. This town is too effing small for me to keep on with this online dating business. And let us be honest: I haven't really been an active participant in a while anyway.

So, I'm studying at a coffee shop today. Haven't really done that this semester, but I just needed to not be in the library today. I noticed this guy kinda smiling and looking at me a couple of times. Finally, he sort of gestured toward me and said, "are you a law student?"

Me: "I am."

Him: "I bet you'll never guess how I know you."

Me: "ummm...nope. I have no idea."

Him: "xckvjnkjhfk"

Me: "Sorry – I didn't quite catch that."

Him: "Did you used to do online dating?"

Me: "I did."

Him: "Yeah, I've seen you. I winked at you. Or maybe even wrote to you. You never responded."

Me: "That's kinda my MO. I never end up writing back to anyone."

...then a bunch of awkward chit chat about small Ann Arbor. Gah. That's the second time this has happened to me. And that's just the times that the guys have said something. Now I have to wonder how frequently people recognize me and don't say anything. This is in pretty serious conflict with my everbloomin' desire to be invisible (except when I don't want to be...you know how it is.) As drama goes, this is small time. But it did give me the mild willies.
