Don’t Be Short With Me

It didn’t seem that fun anyway…

This story is from Christina, a 26-year-old dance teacher in Boston, as told to Raz: 

This is a series of emails between me and Connor, a guy I met on HowAboutWe.com:

Hey there,

I got your message on howaboutwe, and I’d love to see the Celtics on March 29th. Can’t wait!

Hi Christina,

So here’s a thought. Since tickets are expensive, how about we do something different for our first date —get a drink, a coffee, etc. Then, if we seem like a fit for each other, I’ll buy us both tickets to another Celts game. What do you think?

Hi Connor,

That sounds great.  Let’s get a drink on Friday, March 29th.  What time works best for you?

Hi Christina,

Sounds good. How about 7pm at Asgard in Central Sq?

Hey Christina,

I’m sorry to switch gears, and I know it seems wayward of me, but I’d actually like to reconsider our date. I’m (shallowly) looking to meet taller women, and have decided to be a little more choosy.

Apologies,

Connor

It actually works out. He’s looking for someone who’s taller, and I’m looking for someone who’s not awful. Win win.
