Date Wait
Experience had taught Jane to meet blind dates at the park. Then she could daydream in the sunshine while she waited. And waited. (131)

Date Late
Another no-show. Maybe he couldn’t find her. No, she had carefully described what she was wearing. (100)
Date Mate
In the end, Jane found her perfect match at Walmart. See if you can spot him in the video. (92)

Maybe the description of what she was wearing put him off!

I sincerely hope Jane likes her own company

I quite like entertaining the thought that Jane chose to double-blind date, hooking up with the two “gentlemen” referred to as the “Masters of the Universe”!
I love how you’ve been adding a video-connect to your already awesome SY takes. Keep ‘em coming!

P.S. It’s unbelievable hom many seemingly macho-type guys wear skirts, shopping at Walmart –not to mention those customers sporting “floss”! And, by the bye, I’m no longer hungry for rump roast. LOL!

Poor Jane…stood up by her prospective blind date and then had to make do with a bizarre guy at WM. Actually, she looks totally normal compared to the people in the video. Quite hilarious, as usual. I confess that I shop at WalMart.

Verrry impressive to have your story complete with video! Looks like she fits right in with the Walmart crowd.

I love those WalMart pictures! You have found a nice YouTube video. I’ve sneaked a frew shots there myself,
Did her guy dress in black underwear or was he wearing red sweat pants and no shirt? Either of those would my pick for her.
I would tell mt students to have dog as people will stop for a bit for a dog petting.
Another way for students to meet is to bake brownies and borrow a cup of sugar from the one they want to meet. Even if the brownies are coming from a mix. Then bring him/her a fresh brownie when they’re done. A couple of days later return the sugar. That is three ‘legitimate’ visits.
No. 2 is my fave. I am thinking that her clothing description scared the poor guy away.
:rofl:

I shop there too, Pat.
I think the video is funny, even revealing. lol There is a second video and even a website: http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/.
It’s a bit like watching the shows that cleanup packrats’ homes. Even if the house is messy and my fashion choices are poor, I know I’ll look good in comparison.

Great read – a story told in three entries..:)

Alas, poor Jane. Thank goodness there was always the WalMart option.
I did the one-story-in-three thing, too. Fun idea. Thanks!
