I think I met her on MySpace. Her pictures were beautiful. Blonde hair, blue eyes, incredible smile. As far as I was concerned I was shooting my shot to meet her with almost no chance of success — girls like her didn’t go for guys like me. I don’t know why, but she was into it. Her schedule was really complicated, she was from Budapest and was working as an au pair, or nanny, for a rich family that lived about 45 minutes from me. She almost never had free time so it took a while before we had the chance to meet one night.
Apparently, the family she worked for was on vacation and had left her behind to house sit and have the weekend off. She picked me to be her date that night and we met at a really cool bar down by her in the historic part of town. She was even more gorgeous in real life than she was in photos. She was fairly tall, 5’9”, very slender, and I could feel her energy the moment we locked eyes. I felt very privileged to be in her company and was looking forward to wherever the night took us.
