Hooking up, part 2



Claire seemed normal. She went out with one guy a couple times. He was cute enough and they seemed good together. She complained about lack of chemistry, though, and broke it off by email.

Next she goes out with Josh, a goofy-looking guy with mutton chops, and for some reason Claire is crazy about him. To each his own. (I don't want to seem shallow, but mutton chops just don't do it for me.) After date one with Josh, she goes out with someone else but "feels like she's cheating Josh." Alarm bells immediately went off in my head. You just knew this one was heading for disaster.

Next thing you know, she takes Josh to meet about a gazillion of her friends who start grilling him about his intentions and asking embarassing questions like: "When did you first get that feeling in the pit of your stomach about Claire?" Umm, right about now? You could see the look on mutton chop's face, but he recovered nicely and and said something about her smile. As the evening progresses, you see Claire hanging all over mutton chops: Leaning her head against him, holding his hand.

This is date two, people.

Not surprisingly, Josh shoots Claire an email to tell her it's over. Can you blame him?
