The Players: myself, Rose, The Scientist, The Scientist’s Girlfriend
The Background: I used to work with Rose at the toy store. I’ve gone on several dates with The Scientist. The Scientist is poly and has a primary partner, his Girlfriend. All four of us are on OkCupid.
The Sitch: After my first date with The Scientist, Rose asked about him, wondering if maybe she’d gone on a date with him, too, since OkCupid tends to be incestuous like that. I described him and she said, “Oh my god, is his user name [Username]?” It was. She hadn’t gone out with him, but several months ago he had messaged both Rose and her roommate (not knowing they were roommates) to look for someone to play with him and Girlfriend. She’d found him a little sketch. I thought this was hilarious.
I texted him and called him out on it. He knew exactly what I was talking about and explained what had happened and told me to tell Rose that he was sorry for coming across sketchy. The Scientist wants me to meet Girlfriend, as they both meet people that the other person sees regularly. I am a little wary of this, strictly because the last time I dated someone with a girlfriend and met her I was pressured into a threesome that I wasn’t prepared for or expecting. The Scientist said that I could bring a friend with me so that I could be sure that this really was a no pressure situation, just friends meeting for drinks.
What the fuck friend could I bring with me that would be cool with meeting the guy I’m fucking and his girlfriend and not be awkward? Rose! So as I’m texting Rose to see if she wants to come, I get a text from The Scientist. “You’re never going to believe this. Remember your friend that thought I was sketchy? Girlfriend just came in the room and said, ‘Look at this girl on OkCupid. I just sent her a message. Isn’t she cute?’ It was your friend!”
And I just about died laughing because I texted back, “Um, I’m actually bringing that friend with me tomorrow night! So you’ll BOTH get to meet her after all!”
What the fuck are the chances that not only did The Scientist message both of us, not only are we friends, not only is she the girl I’m bringing with me to meet them, but Girlfriend messaged her THE DAY BEFORE we meet without knowing any of this.
I’ll let you know how it goes.

This, plus the identical spams. Too weird.
Hey Britni,
I didn’t know if you’d seen this already or not, but it seemed like something you’d definitely want to see:

I haven’t commented before but I’ve read every post on your blog, so, Hi!
That’s super insane. Hopefully everything will go excellently for you, it sounds like it should. Good luck!
Good luck! Small world stuff is way, WAY too much a part of my life (it was really weird in Ann Arbor, when I took a guy home that turned out to be my ex-bf’s best female friend’s ex-bf–and we found out at HER birthday party, three weeks later, and bearing in mind I took the guy home my first week in that city. Etc. It hasn’t stopped).
Have fun with them in any case =)
Nice!
