Quick dating update

Hi readers!  I'm going to make this brief, but I've been asked to do a bit of a summary of some of the guys I've mentioned over the past little while.  (Not that there's a lineup forming to meet me or anything.)  Here goes:

Steve the boot guy -- Starts a new job in Atlanta next week, so no plans to meet.  We rarely even say hello over skype, so the book's now closed on this guy.

Shawn from speed dating -- A total flake.  Texts occasionally but can't seem to make a firm plan to meet.  Not interested.

Nikola from speed dating -- Would have been interested to meet, but our emails tapered off.  Probably won't hear from him again.

And now there's a new guy to tell you about!  His name is Finn and we found each other on OkCupid.  We're meeting for a drink tonight after his baseball game.  What I know about him so far is that he's nearly 30, lives just north of the city, and is a case worker for the welfare office.  He has one of those jobs that must be extremely difficult and emotionally draining at times.  (I know I couldn't do it.)  Also, he seems really into sports.  Even bowling!  As the world's worst bowler, I secretly hope he never suggests we play.  (I hate bowling.)

Since Finn is driving down after his baseball game, he was worried he wouldn't smell good.  He sent me a text message this afternoon explaining that he wouldn't want me to get the wrong impression, and that his baseball shoes don't 'breathe'.  I wrote back that I can't judge -- I have a few pairs of ballet flats make my feet stink for the same reason.  He then responded with, "This conversation is getting pretty hot."  Gotta like a guy with a sense of humour!  Full date report coming soon...
