I've Heard of Safety in Numbers...

My girlfriend, Mary, set me up on a blind date. I got the usual spiel, "He's good looking, works hard, loves his family, I just don't know why he's still single!" After a few innocent phone conversations, Clark and I decided to finally meet and get together for a drink. I arrived at the bar right on time, and immediately started looking for someone that matched his description. All the sudden, I saw a guy coming towards me. Somewhat handsome, well dressed, he stuck out his hand and introduced himself. Yup, it was Clark. "Come on this way, we're all at the table already." "All?" I asked. "Yeah, our sales team was getting together for a few drinks after work, and I thought this would be a great time for us to meet."

Are you kidding me? Our first date, a blind one no less, and I was being led to a table with, no lie, SIXTEEN members of Clark's sales team. Definitely not what I had in mind for our first date, but he nonetheless was attentive and charming, and we ended up dating for about six months or so ... thankfully the dates after this one were just us.
