Total Strangers and Pneumonia, again

So this post may end up a bit rambly, so I apologize in advance if it turns into a major bore/incoherent.
My boss, who may or may not have a hidden agenda, set me up with a total stranger to both him, his wife, and myself. I suspect the agenda was "If I set her up with a guy that already works in Utah, and if she marries him, she'll stay in Utah and I don't have to bother getting a new assistant." He gave the dude my number and said he would call me soon. Surprisingly enough the dude did call me a few weeks after Doug told me about it. Doug told me where he works and that he "seems like a really nice guy". That, and his name, was all I knew about him before the phone call. The first suggested day for the date was already booked up for me, so we had to set it up for last Thursday, which was about a week later. That was already looking like a fairer prospect than my last set up attempt that was also made by a business associate. That time the dude didn't get any farther than calling and telling me he'd have to look at his schedule and then I never heard from him again. Anyway, so the Dude aka Ryan, asked me out for Dinner for Thursday. I was sort of looking forward to it. He picked me up and was very nice. He opened the restaurant door like a gentleman should and let me order first, etc. He was nice looking and was good at asking questions. We seemed to have a few things in common. The place we went to eat was a nice casual place, so it was actually pretty good as far as blind dates go. The only problem was that there was zero spark. What a surprise. If he were to ask me out again I would say yes, but I doubt he will. He didn't really seem that interested in getting to know me more, and to be honest, I wasn't really interested in getting to know him more either. So, my opinion of blind dates being pointless for me still stands firm. I think I just won't go on dates at all unless someone actually asks me out because they are interested in me, or want to get to know me better, and I am fine with that. That's what I prefer. So, I am guessing that 2011 will be filled with a lot of dateless weekends if life continues as it has for the past 8 years. Now, I'm definitely not saying that I'll never go on a date. All I'm saying is that they will be few and far between, especially since there are really no eligible or datable guys in my ward. It hasn't really helped my social situation that I've had Pneumonia since New Years so I haven't been able to go to institute or choir. So as soon as I'm healthy again (and especially when the weather isn't frigid) I should have a more successful social life. It's time for Erin to get some guts and talk to strangers. (Funny side note, instead of typing "guts" I accidentally typed "guys". Both apply)
