Brother's GF trying to set me up on a date...

So a friend of mine (female) who has a million hot friends (but lives 4 hrs away) jokingly started an auction on Facebook to "sell" a date with me.

I was awarded to a cute Jewish girl for $15 (beating out bids of $5 and $10!), but it was ascertained that I had to wash their car and take them to sushi as well.

Obviously, the auction was tongue in cheek, but garnered 25 or so responses (from some smokin' hot girls too!) and made me laugh and enjoy my afternoon.

BUT, then my brother's GF saw the post and sent me an email telling me about her friend and wanting to set me up with her for a date. I saw one picture and she REALLY resembles my ex-gf! I'm kinda intrigued but moreover I'm feeling like it's just a terrible, terrible idea.

Thoughts on this, LS'ers? I'm out for the day but shall return. Peace!

Why on earth wouldn't you go out with her? You're breakup is fresh, you're going to compare everyone and everything to your ex. Networking is the best way to get back into the swing of things. Take her up on the fix-up and have a great time.

If I were in your position, I'd take advantage of these opportunities in a heart-beat:).

Additionally, I wish I had folks who'd be up for giving me such a hook-up!

Oh man, if Fouts thinks I should go, we can just lock this thread!

I'm requesting more info/pics. I checked out her FB page, she's got a zillion funny groups (you know those retarded pages that you can be a "fan" of) that show a sarcastic and fun sense of humor.

Ok, I'm shallow, I need to see more pics. From what I saw, curvy, pretty face and boobs for days. I'm in trouble!

You gotta ask. I was talking to my friend "T", who set up the auction. She's like "WTF is your story are you ready to date yet?" and I was like "Meh I don't effing know, I'm blah blah blah..."

She threatened to auction me off, I said "you know what? GO for it!"

And that started the ball rolling.

handle it!!! then send your friend my way:bunny:

you dont live anywhere near the 310 818 213 areas do you?

There are peoiple on here who cant even get friends to set them up with anyone, and your friend is throwing women at you literally. Dont take for granted that she's doing it, otherwise she might give up on you at sometime when you need it. Go out with the girl, she wont be like your ex.

Seriously id do anything to have my friends women hook me up but im ugly and thats not gonna happen..Hes gotta take advantage of this

Getting women isn't the problem, guys. Getting a GOOD woman who I can fall for and not get f*cked over IS the problem.

I'm a good looking guy. I don't have a problem with that. But I have a problem meeting quality girls because A.) I have an inferior education (I've underachieved in that area, as I'm intelligent) with only partial college work done and B.) I live in a fairly remote area. The dating pool is small.

It's not about the opportunity, it's more about my ability to get over my ex and be able to date without it being unfair to the new girl.

Thanks for the replies, guys

No, I'm in the 508, 617, 978 codes. I'm specifically south of Boston 1hr and north of Providence 45 mins.

I would say go on the dates, be a gentlemen ( so the girls don't bad-mouth you later on) and take it from there.

It's just a date, go for it. You won't fall for her, chances are you won't have that much in common.

And, whats wrong wanting someone who looks like your ex? I love the way my ex looks, it's one of the reasons I fell for her. Why would I actively choose against what I know I like?

Spriggsmeister- I guess it's because I don't have a "type". So it's strange to me to find a curvy girl w a pretty face, just like my ex, right out of the gate.

About the things in common thing: Fail. We've been Im'ing and texting since yesterday. She's funny sh*t and we have a lot in common.

I'll def be a gentleman. I'm an edgy guy, but I have a very refined, gentlemanly side to me as well. I sell really really really expensive stuff for a living, I am great with etiquette and very savvy about appropriate humor (while pushing the envelope LOL).

Looks like we'll be doing drinks/dinner tonight. Wish me luck!

Oh lord, she's a Sagittarius, too, just like the EX. Oh noes!

Rearden buddy, I hope you're not developing a fixation. Going out with a woman who is so similar to your ex is....well......strange. Why not give the other women you find attractive a chance as well?

See, that's what I'm afraid of!

Honestly, I'm not over my ex. Not even close. Which is why I'm scared of this. But I'm going anyway. I just have to be careful not to get attached quick.

All right, man. Good luck.
