On Wednesday, I posted this on "missed connections" over at the good ole' Portland CraigsList:
where: coffee bar at 20th and division new seasons, about 10 this morning.
you: tall guy in a light colored tee shirt behind the counter. i asked you for a bigger cup and you got flustered because you work for the coffee company (stumptown i guess) and not new seasons.
me: brunette, bright green zip up hoodie. i would have talked to you more, because you're unbelievably cute, but i didn't have any makeup on (the horror) and i hadn't had my (big) cup of coffee yet. eek!
we made eye contact as i was leaving. you're really cute. please see this and email me so that we can go out for drinks. i promise to be wearing makeup and properly caffeinated.

Late last night, I received this email:
was that coffee guy a redhead?
Obvs, I left out this crucial detail in order to verify or disprove any responses I might get. I replied, emphatically:
TOTALLY WAS.
This evening... this:
he's married.
Well. Alright. Pfft.
BOOOOOOOOO.
