Desperately Seeking?

I'm being set up.

You know ... the dreaded set up. THE set up.

I've always managed to dodge the set up. It's just not something I'm a fan of, and maybe it means that I've missed out. I don't know. That thought still doesn't stop the nauseated feeling from creeping up on me whenever I hear the words, "I want to set you up with a guy."

The thing is, I don't know that I can thwart this particular set up. This friend ... "so-called" friend (because, really, what friend would want to do that to you?) is very persistent. She's like your mom. Means well, but won't take no for an answer.

The things I know about this guy:

1) super sarcastic
2) a shit disturber
3) lost his job recently because he's a shit disturber
4) is an engineer
5) takes road trips whenever he loses his job due to disturbing of the shit
6) mid to late thirties (not sure why this isn't clear)
7) "would be perfect for me"

I've managed to hold off on the match-making for about a month. We'll see if I can work my magic and turn that month into holding off on it forever.

But a part of me can't help but think how much I like a super sarcastic quality in a guy ...
