I'd been single for quite some time. As an introvert engineer there just wasn't anything happening… "naturally". Joined eHarmony and decided to just get out there and make it happen. Went on a few first dates, but even after a year there just wasn't any second dates.

One day I stumbled across Lisa's profile. Now she was much cuter than the women I was normally going out with, but she had this interesting line in her profile about quantum physics. Well, I had a joke about quantum physics! That was going to be my icebreaker. So with a lame quantum physics joke sent, if nothing else I was going to stand out.

The next day I got a reply! But with nothing in the reply said of the joke, I figured it had fallen flat. I had another date lined up later that week, and Lisa was just so much more good looking than the rest of the girls going on dates with me so I convinced myself this was a dead-end and let the conversation die out.

Well a few weeks go by, the date I had previously didn't go anywhere, and I was back to square one. I log on to eHarmony and see that Lisa had browsed my profile the previous night. What was she doing on there? Was she interested? I sent her another message and from there a conversation sprang up. With just a few more messages, we decided to meet up at a local brewery and the rest was history.

Eventually she asked me why I let the conversation die out the first time from my end. I told her that I had another date lined up and couldn't deal with more than one conversation at a time, which was totally true; multi-tasking is not my forte. But it took me a while to tell her the other reason, that I just thought she was too cute for me.
