I tell people all the time that I'm looking for a girl who reminds me of me. It's a little bit true. I am, by most accounts, a huge weirdo, which makes it gratifying to find someone who shares any to many of my idiosyncrasies.
And you know that thing where you meet someone new and you accidentally do or say something at the exact same time? That's pretty adorable, I guess.
The first problem is that I don't meet that many people like me. Even my close friends are, for the most part, people who are complimentary, but not really similar to me. And I guess there's a lesson there.
Because it seems like the second problem is that, if I did ever meet someone just like me, our time together would be spent speaking very quickly, disagreeing with each other to keep the conversation going and completely forgetting to ask or tell anything personal. Then we'd both text the other once and then delete each other's numbers out of our phones and wait for the other to make the next move.
So, yeah. I guess maybe I shouldn't use myself as a template. It's a cute concept, but it's a pretty narcissistic, and ultimately it's just an excuse to make a pun when I hear a middle-aged hipster say something about "dating yourself."
I'm Dan. I'd probably prefer if you weren't.
