You never know who sees you


The day after my date with Mr. Ireland, I get a message on Facebook from a guy that I had worked with on a short-term project over 2.5 years ago. He writes, "How was the food last night?" A little bewildered, I respond back, "Huh? How did ya know?" He then tells me that he saw me at the restaurant with a guy and didn't want to interrupt because the guy seemed to be talking a lot. I tell him that I was on a first date and he says, "I hope it was a first and last. If I would've known he wasn't your boyfriend, I would've come in and stolen you from him." He then ends the conversation with, "Glad to hear you're no longer with your boyfriend. Let me know if you need a sushi/sake partner sometime."

I never really thought about it before but in city like NYC, it is very likely you could run into people you know. Most of the time, it'd be nice to see a familiar face while on a date, but at the same time, it would not be fun to run into someone else I was dating. In this situation, I somehow became more desirable for this guy who I had only met once and worked with for approx. 8 hours over 2 years ago. But let's say if I had run into Sporting Goods while on my date with Ireland, would SG lose interest or would it make him fight harder?
