This has happened to me with my grandmother. In their mind they've literally found your future wife. In your mind they are crazy.
"Hey, I met this nice lady at the retirement home who says her granddaughter is perfect for you. Here is the granddaughter's number, please call her"
What does she look like? "I don't know"
How old is she? "I don't know"
What's she into "I don't know"
Is she in school or working? "I don't know"
..... "She's Jewish! Marry her!"
One final question: Does she live in San Francisco? "Oh no, she lives in Montreal...CALL HER"
Something like that happened to a friend of mine recently. His parents hyped up this girl they know through their network, like she's all pretty, smart, well educated, etc, etc..
He says, great! How can I reach her? Does she live in SF?
They say, oh, she lives in Canada.
Dubbs, that sucks that shit didn't pan out for you, but I have no idea why you asked about height. Totally unnecessary IMO, just wait and see, but whatever, you've already heard all that.
It'd echo jacksprat and Yakoo752 said. I've been trying to adopt the same mentality myself. If I think there might be a possibility, I'll give it a go. So far, nothing, but I've met some interesting people and talked to some girls I'd never imagine even going on a date with (due to differing interests, not because they're ugly).
One thing I don't get though dude (and if you don't want to answer this, it's all good, i'm not trying to put you on blast), maybe this is a BARF thing, but do you ever have dates that go well?
Like, do you only tell us the shitty stuff, but you're actually a regular casanova? Or do you really have this much difficulty with dating?
Lucky for me, I'm right at that magical 6'0" mark. Whew. Double whew cause I'm asian.
