Frankie fast-tracked me when he read on my profile that my subscription would be over at the beginning of the month. We didn't exchange many meaningful e-mails and to be truthful, I had no real desire to meet him (his profile said that he drank "several times a week" and he listed scotch, gin and wine as things he couldn't live without). But I did because it's The Year.

I don't know if he read my caveat about me being freakishly tall but I think he was a bit surprised. Nonetheless, we chatted idly for a hour (and we spent a good 10 or 15 minutes on the different kinds of milk, alone) and that was it.

No sparks. No asking to call me again. Just a very generic, "I'll talk to you again. Have a good night."

One more tomorrow and then I think that's all I've got. Better practice my smiling and 5-second eye contact now.
