Meeting New People
In which a craze sweeps the office
The current craze at the office – among the handful of single people, at least – seems to be online dating. I’ve mentioned before that I’ve got an online personal advert, which decided that my perfect partner in the whole country was someone who is already a good friend.* Now, other people are apparently doing the same thing.
Well, a couple of people at least. One of the co-workers thought she’d celebrate her divorce by meeting some new people, so she signed up on a dating website.** However, she soon came across the same problem as me. The site she used easily found her a nearby match. Unfortunately, rather too nearby – a manager down the corridor, known to almost all in the building as Annoying Tosser. News of his personal ad rapidly spread round the building.*** However, I’m not completely sure if it’s spread as far as his girlfriend yet. That should be interesting.
* And a regular reader too. Hi! That site has changed its mind about our compatibility since then, incidentally. I’m not sure why.
** Unfortunately, none of the people she told this story to have managed to find which one yet.
*** Although, of course, none of us have actually seen it, because the woman who found it doesn’t want to risk us finding hers too.
