The Perfect Ten

Tim had always had trouble finding the right woman. Every time he thought he was close to finding the right woman, he was quickly shot down and found out that the girl “just wasn’t feeling it.” Tim had always been the most popular kid through high school and was what some may consider your typical “high school jock.” During high school Tim was always surrounded my females and had no problem communicating with them. Once Tim came to college, it was as if nothing had changed. He played football and he still had women surrounding him. Although he enjoyed the attention that all the girls gave him, he wished that he could just have a normal relationship.
After a spending a year and a half in college, Tim finally found a girl who he thought he would spend the rest of his life with. Her name was Lindsay, and she seemed absolutely perfect for Tim. After spending just a few weeks together, Lindsay began to grow tired of Tim and they began to quarrel. Tim didn’t understand what his problem was but he soon realized that this relationship would be over shortly.
Tim went through the rest of college, seeing a few girls but never getting too serious. It was after Tim graduated that he realized he had a relationship problem, so he decided that he needed to do something about it. After looking on the internet that night, Tim decided that he was going to sign up for three blind dates. He had seen the TV show and always thought that is was pretty bogus, but he figured that he was desperate and could use all the help he could get.
After filling out all of the paper work, he finally set up three blind dates, each of which were two weeks apart so that he could see them again if he wanted to. After getting everything ready, Tim started to become fairly nervous. He had never been very good with first impressions and that’s what blind dates were all about. He began to question whether or not he had made the right decision about going on these blind dates but it was far too late to change his mind.
The first night came much too fast for Tim and he has incredibly nervous. The first woman he was going to meet was Dianna. The only thing Tim knew about her was that she had graduated from college, so he was pretty skeptical about the whole situation. Tim got ready to go and left his house early so that he wouldn’t be late for the first big date. They met at the Rialto, which was a very nice Mexican restaurant/bar.
“Hi, I am Tim.” He said, with a shaky voice.
“Hi, I am Dianna.” She said. She was a beautiful tall blonde, with stunning features. Tim was in shock and didn’t really know what to say because she was so beautiful.
As the night went on, Tim became much more comfortable talking with her and soon realized that she had no personality. Dianna was just too beautiful to be true and Tim realized why she had been single for so long. When the night was over they exchanged phone numbers but Tim knew that he would not be seeing her again.
Two weeks later, Tim was ready for his next date. This time he was not as nervous and felt very confident with himself. They were to meet at the same place, because it was the most popular place to go in town. Tim arrived early like last time and waited at the front for Jenny to show. Jenny showed up right on time and they greeted each other. The minute Tim saw her he knew that it just wasn’t going to work out. Tim was in no way a shallow person but he knew that there had to be some physical attraction in order to even get the ball rolling between two people. Jenny was about 5’ 10” and she was a little over weight with a very unattractive face. Tim wasn’t going to waste the night so he decided to make the best of the situation. After talking with Jenny for a few hours, he realized that she was awesome. Her personality was amazing and she was absolutely hilarious. He wished that she was more attractive because he knew that he would never be completely attracted to her because of her looks. When the night was over, they exchanged numbers and went their separate ways.
It was the final night and Tim was a little apprehensive about going on this last date because the other two had not turned out the way that he had planned. He began to think that he was going to be single for the rest of his life. He got ready to go and took off early for the Rialto as he had done two times before. As he sat in the waiting area, he thought about his past relationships and how he thought he had messed them up. A few moments later, a young lady tapped him on the shoulder. “Excuse me, are you here for a blind date?”
“I sure am. You must be Katie.”
“Yes I am. You must be Tim.” They both shook hands and both of their eyes lit up. She was a beautiful brunette with dark skin. Tim was once again in shock with her stunning looks, except she was even more beautiful than Dianna was.
They sat down at a table and began to talk. The more they talked, the more they became obsessed with each other. Tim couldn’t believe how perfect she was. Not only was she a “bomb shell”, but she had a personality that could light up the entire restaurant. She was a perfect ten. After dinner they went out on the town and had a wonderful time. Tim thought that he had found the one. Katie was perfect for him.
They hung out again the next night and seven nights in a row after that. It was as if they had started to date without ever speaking a word about it. A few weeks later, Katie told Tim that she had to go to Denver on business and wouldn’t be home for a week or so. Tim was depressed and wished that she didn’t have to leave for a week.
The week went by and Tim hadn’t heard from Katie. He began to worry about her. Two days later, Katie called and told Tim that she was very sorry but she had met someone else and she was going to be staying in Denver. Tim had lived in Denver previously and thought he would ask who it was because he knew quite a few people down there. So Tim asked, “Well what is his name?”
“Well it is actually a she and her name is Sara.”
Tim couldn’t believe what he was hearing and he was devastated. That night Tim cried himself to sleep wondering if he would ever find another woman that could compare to Katie.
