Spinster Stereotypes

Ok so I didn't get married right out of college like a lot of my friends
did. I don't know I'm not the same person was when I was 19 so I don't
think I would still be married if I did get married right out of
college.

I also went through a mid twenties funk about not meeting the right
guy. Being "in love" with my best guy friend who decided to start dating
a complete moron and not warning me ahead of time. Going on dates with a
guy who used the excuse that "he might have to go back to the Navy" and
expecting me to cry about it. After this incident I was like ok
whatever.

I am terribly shy around guys. I hate it but that is just how it is.
I don't think any sort of therapy or happy meds will help in this
situation. I also will not shrivel up because I haven't landed a man.
At this point in my life I know who I am, I have a good career, I own my
own home, and I have good family and friends. I don' need to be set
up.

Does this stop the Wicked Witch of the West (AKA my mother) from
setting me up with some random guy? NO. She has decided to set me up
with ... Get this one... her hairdresser's husband's friend from
work...just because he's quiet like me. Translation [he's either a
serial killer or a pasty computer engineer].

I'd like to be positive about this situation, who knows what might
happen. He COULD be a great guy. But the bitter and bitchy me is
dreading the phone call/email.
