Inappropriate match making

Tonight was a first.

After a long but very productive workday, I met a few friends by the pool. We were chilling and talking and sipping sangria. It was going to be girls' night but we had a couple of male observers. That was okay. It was fun.

Then a couple we know showed.up across the pool.

He's the brother of a guy who lives in my neighborhood, and his wife is just odd.

"I've got to send you a picture," she yelled across the pool. "What's your number?"

I was in the middle of writing the last post called Moving and looked up long enough to give it to her. I immediately regretted sharing my number like I wished I hadn't accepted her Facebook friend request.

When I heard the ding, I picked up the phone. It was a pic from the odd girl. A picture of a man.

"He's a good Christian guy." She yelled across the pool again. "He loves sushi and has two daughters. If nothing else, you'll get a free sushi dinner."

I threw up in my mouth. "Thank you," I yelled back across.

He could very well be a really amazing guy, but he had to be close to my dad's age. 

"Can I throw up now?" I whispered to my friend. 

"Sure," she said. "What's wrong?"

I showed her the picture.

"No," was all she said, and shook her head.

"Can I tell her that her husband kissed me?" I asked. "And he would've had sex with me if I hadn't made him leave?" And it's not easy to push a 6.5 foot man out my door when I'm more than a foot shorter.

"No," she repeated. 

I was offended. She doesn't know me. If she did, she would know how wrong in so many different ways she was by suggesting him. By suggesting anyone. If I need match making help, I'll ask. But chances are, I would never ask her. Chances are, she needs to pay more attention to her own marriage before trying to hook up others.
