Anatomy of a soon-to-be-failed relationship

(1) Girl gets introduced to Boy by friend. Friend tells Boy "you have a lot in common with Girl." Boy looks over Girl, shrugs, makes minor small talk and walks away. Girl hates Boy.

(2) Two weeks later, Girl is at the bar, looking particularly hot and wearing those eff-me thigh-high boots. Boy suddenly finds Girl much more interesting. Girl plays it cool and gives him her email address (*not* her phone number.)

(3) Girl waits. Boy becomes more intriguing the longer she waits.

(4) Boy emails! Asks Girl's schedule for the next week! Suggests drinks/dinner/talking! Girl eagerly emails back open days, sends phone numbers.

(5) Girl waits. Three effing days. Boy is now the most worthless piece of crap ever. He is the shortest, dorkiest old man ever, and just who does this lame Jewish boy think he is to blow off an amazing red-head with bodacious knockers?

(6) Boy emails, suggests a date two days from now. On a Wednesday. (?) Girl ponders whether this is normal these days. Her dating record has been spotty for a couple years now. Girl quickly clears Wednesday's schedule, vows to blow off everyone. Sends back acceptance of date...

(7) and waits...
